…raditional military employees at the NSA. They were usually civilians, who effectively served as repair-men for complex computer systems at the NSA. Moreover, many of them had not been directly hired by the NSA. Instead, their recruitment had been privatized to outside contractor...

Intelligence Ithough my computer appears to havea mischievous sense of humor — deleting files and crashing just before important presentations — it does not appear to enjoy listening to Bach, nor does it ever ask me to put it near the window to admire the view. I think this m...

“Weird Machine”: Computers or sensors or network webs silently made to do what is not intended. Made weird. Hacking is, after all, a kind of perverse programming. It involves slipping inside a target machine, and then driving it to do things it wasn’t intended to do, by giving it...

… years, by one Wall Street analyst’s calculation. They were employed as system administrators, infrastructure analysts, computer security special- ists, and other “geek squad” jobs at the NSA and other government agencies. Their main qualification was their prior security clearan...

…echnological leaps that will breed still faster interaction and creation: Quantum computing, for instance, may yet push computer to speeds to 100 billion times faster than what is achievable with older technology. Self-taught, reasoning artificial intelltigence will spot patterns...

…y, the exponential advances in Moore’s Law are starting to run into limits imposed by basic physics. The clock speed of computers maxed out at a few gigahertz a decade and a half ago, simply because the chips were starting to melt. The miniaturization of transistors is already ru...

doing because we designed the algorithms at their heart. So when our computers generate a result, we feel that we intellectually grasp it. The new machine-learning programs are different. Having recognized patterns via deep neural networks, they come up with conclusions, and we...
