Cognitive Warfare, a Battle for the Brain

By Valerie / April 24, 2024 /

ABSTRACT
With the growing role of technology and information overload, individual cognitive abilities will no longer be
sufficient to ensure an informed and timely decision-making, leading to the new concept of Cognitive Warfare,

Air Taxis OK With Conditions

By Valerie / April 22, 2024 /

A third of Canadians are wary of air taxis and urban drones if the federal government is responsible for regulating traffic, says in-house Department of Transport research. “A third of respondents, 31 percent, have low trust in the Government of Canada to handle the implementation of the technology,” wrote researchers.

“A majority of respondents, 63 percent, have conditional support for advanced air mobility, indicating their support depends on specific circumstances,” said a report. Canadians told the transport department they’d accept robot flights for emergency services.

“Most respondents are comfortable with the following applications in urban areas: search and rescue operations (81 percent), firefighting (78 percent), emergency medical services (78 percent), aerial surveying and inspections (70 percent) and logistic and cargo transport (60 percent),” wrote researchers. “Other types of applications receive a lower level of comfort, notably tourism and sightseeing (58 percent) and home deliveries (53 percent).”
