Times are changing fast — not too long ago, I used to race bottle caps on chalk-designed circuits and now look at these kids about designing, building, land, and racing two autonomous vehicles on the Moon? Ok, maybe I am older than I like to admit 😬Nevertheless, what a great time to be alive. All sorts of technology are advancing faster than ever before; the internet, virtual reality, the metaverse, and space exploration is getting to the next level - just to mention a few things.

Once upon a time, a student that hated the school system made his mission to change it. Today he is going strong at it, and he is telling us how and his vision for 2030.Inspired by one of his articles, we invited Michael Yates, Co-Founder of Guide, Keynote Speaker & Education Consultant.“What was school like for you? I hated school. I hated the desks in rows, the standardized testing, and the awful cafeteria food. More than anything, I could not stand the vast amounts of time I felt I was wasting by learning things that held no relevance to my adult life. As a student, I dreamed of doing school a different way. I now spend almost every day working to disrupt and change the system that I believe failed me and so many other students. I talk, write and dream so much about the future of learning, education, and schools. Here is what I think school could look like in 2030.”Join us for this passionate conversation about what school should and should not be. _____________________________GuestMichael YatesSenior Managing Director of Network Strategy at the TFA Reinvention Lab, powered by Teach For AmericaOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-yates/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/justmikeyatesOn TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@justmikeyatesOn YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzDbw_YMuH_rSPU5hxXPOFg_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlue Lava: https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntweb_____________________________ResourcesInspiring post on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/heres-what-school-could-look-like-2030-mike-yates/More about Mike Yates: https://www.yatesmike.com/home_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signals_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Networking, negotiating, communicating, leading, and career planning—all skills that are critical to your career success. But did anyone ever teach you these skills? In today's episode, we speak with author, Mark Herschberg, to learn how and why mastering these vital skills are necessary to yield outsized returns for your career and your income.Do we go with the flow and let the career lead us? Do we jump over obstacles and plough through roadblocks to reach the other side where the grass is greener? Or, do we take a more calculated, multi-skilled, multi-faceted approach to define the outcome we want and the path(s) we need to take to get there? Ultimately, the choice is your and yours alone. It's a question of how much getting to the desired outcome matters.Have a listen.About The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught YouThe book is divided into three sections: Career, Leadership & Management, and Interpersonal Dynamics. Although the topics do reinforce each other each chapter can be read on its own. If you’re facing a particular challenge you can jump ahead to any chapter. At the end of the book you'll have developed a wide ranging set of skills for your career. You'll be able to create a plan to get you to where you want to go, and apply the other skills both strategically and tactically to accelerate your career._____________________________GuestMark HerschbergCybersecurity CTO / MIT instructor / Author / SpeakerOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/hershey/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/MarkAHerschberg_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlue Lava: https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntweb_____________________________ResourcesMore about The Career Toolkit: https://www.thecareertoolkitbook.comOn Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/thecareertoolkit/On Facebook | https://fb.me/TheCareerToolkitBook_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signals_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

On this Audio Signals Episode, Sean and Marco are joined by a returning guest on ITSPmagazine, Valerie Fridland. Join the conversation and learn some new words with them."Which Word Takes Top Prize as Word of the Year?Politics, the pandemic, and social media inspire a bumper crop of new words.Language experts recently voted on the word that most summed up this year’s cultural zeitgeist.A word arising from the controversial and divisive U.S. political landscape in 2021 took the title.Pandemic-related and TikTok-inspired terms also reflected our national preoccupations.The words COVID and pandemic might have still reigned supreme this year, but in the quickly changing world of language use, they are already so last year. This year, words both lighthearted (bussin’, cheugy, yassify) and serious (big, lie, insurrection, omicron) were bandied about in the run-up to the American Dialect Society’s Word of the Year (WOTY) vote. For the language experts tasked with whittling down the field for 2021, only words that really caught the year’s zeitgeist rose to the top.

On this podcast, ITSPmagazine's Co-Founders, Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin venture away from The Intersection Of Technology, Cybersecurity, and Society to discover new stories worthy of being told. This conversation is about music and how it, at the same time, defines and reflects society.In this first episode dedicated to this theme, Sean and Marco invite two friends that had a past and have a present life in the music industry, on top of being very talented security professionals. Part 1: Electronic, Dance, Club, Techno, Trance, And House MusicAn Audio Signals Conversation With Scott Scheferman And George PlatsisWe talk about what drives their passion, the role of the audience in driving what they do and where / when the line is crossed between art and the commercial side of it.The role of the machines in this music genre and how it is vital to push the limits of what can be done with any available technology as part of the creative process.The pillar value of playing, creating, and producing music with "intent" as the driving force for developing your artistic persona and connecting with the audience.Of course, all of this, in the more extensive scope of discussing and understanding how music is the mirror, but also a driving force for change in our societies.Enjoy it._____________________________GuestsScott SchefermanOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottscheferman/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/transhackerismGeorge PlatsisOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/gplatsis/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/gplatsis_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlue Lava: https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntweb_____________________________ResourcesScott Scheferman / highsage / shagghie: highsage.bandcamp.comScott and Katy: katyrokit.bandcamp.comSome wax: https://www.decks.de/track/various_artists-angel_trax_ep/byz-smMentioned book: This Is Your Brain on Music: The Science of a Human Obsession_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signals_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This is a story that you haven’t heard yet, but we guarantee that it won’t be the last of its kind. It is a tale of art, technology, digital collectors, Artificial Intelligence, creativity, NFTs (Non-fungible tokens), and so much more.It starts with a painter that has spent precious time creating an original piece of art. As soon as the brush rests on the table, an art critic judges the job, forcing the artist to start over again and do better. The painter returns to work, the critic weights in again, and the process repeats until the antagonist is fooled. Finally, the adversarial challenge is over; the piece is minted and eventually sold to a human collector. Because you see, the artist is AI. And so is the critic.Now the collector that acquired the piece is challenged as well. A new decision must be made: keeping the digital art, auctioning it, or obtaining a second one and eventually renounce both to create a new unique piece of the two originals that will be “burned” to give life to the new one and eventually be acquired, potentially changed by the new owners that will add yet another chapter to the history of the piece. An ever-changing art story is possible because of AI, NFTs, and the human creativity that fuels art.So, can Artificial Intelligence be an artist? Can it be it on its own, or it must have the human input to be considered such?Of this and much more, we talk in this podcast with Ben Kovalis and Marco Ciappelli.Enjoy, and let us know your thoughts about the matter. Whether you are a digital or human entity, either way, we will treasure your feedback. 😬_____________________________GuestBen KovalisOn Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-kovalis/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/Ben_Kovalis_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlue Lava: https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntweb_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signals_____________________________ResourcesAn NFT Guide for Newcomershttps://www.altcoinbuzz.io/nft/an-nft-guide-for-newcomers/NFT Newshttps://www.altcoinbuzz.io/author/aidan/page/2/Open Sea reference to what was discussedThis is the first collection that consists of 10k pieces: https://opensea.io/collection/eponymThis is the second generation collection of highly curated pieces: https://opensea.io/collection/eponym-gen2_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

When it comes to addressing the lack of diversity in technology, the checkbox approach coupled with the measurement of rates and figures may or may not be a good place to start. Regardless, it may be that we need to understand the why before anything else.In this episode, we speak with Di Ciruolo, a top DEI Consultant who asks our listeners to consider, "Why should people care about being allies?".The current system, she reveals, is full of blame for inequalities. It is full of shame, too. Insiders at top tech companies share eye-opening stories about what DEI is really like in Silicon Valley and beyond. We learn that allyship isn't about blame or shame; it's about action.Listen in to see why checking the box and improving the numbers being measured isn't enough. It ultimately boils down to the why lead by sponsorship over mentorship.About the bookIn 2020, companies are at a culture crossroad: get dragged under by sticking their collective heads in the sand, or take the right steps to weave diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives (DEI) into every layer of their business.Companies can do better and know better by implementing allyship into their operations—from creating cultures and onboarding to team-building and benefits. Backed by multitudinous research studies and professional interviews and experience, this book teaches allyship and promotes inclusion at every step of the employee life cycle, including how to lead better with interviews from those doing the work in the tech, biotech, academy, and startup communities.Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are the buzzwords of the business world, but it’s the statistics that sting: 85% of corporate executives and board members in the U.S. are white men. Companies are trying to create more inclusive workplaces by creating new policies and changing hiring practices, but they’re missing allyship._____________________________GuestDi CiruoloOn Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/diciruolo/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/diciruoloOn TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@diciruolo_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlue Lava: https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntweb_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signals_____________________________ResourcesAlly Up: The Definitive Guide to Building More Inclusive, Innovative, and Productive Teams: https://www.amazon.com/Ally-Definitive-Inclusive-Innovative-Productive/dp/1631954016/Learn more about Di Ciruolo: https://www.diversitywoman.com/dwm/di-ciruolo/_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode of Audio Signals, we look at the moon, the stars, and we get inspired to know what is out there.Our guide and inspiration for this voyage is @Astro_Jaz (AKA Jasmine Singh), a Planetary Science student with a double major in Atmospheric Science. If you haven’t figured it out yet, she REALLY loves space!We talk about the many reasons why space is so fascinating and why we keep looking up at the sky since the dawn of humanity; what motivates us to venture out there; what we know and what we are trying to learn about our neighbors' planets and those much farther away.Her many interests range from planetary (and exoplanetary) atmospheres to astrobiology. As a matter of fact, we ended up talking quite a bit about the search for other forms of life in our solar system and beyond.Since when she was a little earthling, Jasmine would look at the sky with so much wonder, envisioning humans living on the moon and watching down at us on Earth. Now, she is making her dreams come true by studying what she loves and hoping to work for NASA real soon — she is already an intern there.Thank you for spending time with us and sharing your passion with our audience.

“The New Grand Strategy" tells the story of a plan, born within the Pentagon, to recapture America’s greatness at home and abroad by elevating sustainability as our new strategic imperative. We talk about the need for change, the business of sustainability, and so much more with the author, Joel Makower.__________________________About The Book"The New Grand Strategy" tells the story of a plan, born within the Pentagon, to recapture America’s greatness at home and abroad by elevating sustainability as our new strategic imperative. It aligns our enduring national interests of prosperity and security with a new framework that addresses pressing economic, social, and environmental issues at home, tapping into a trillion-dollar market demand for walkable communities, regenerative agriculture and resource productivity. It is an inspiring vision of what’s possible when Americans hold a collective view of the future and come together to bring it to reality.This is no idealistic pipe dream or wonky policy prescription. The story that unfolds in this book weaves together hard-nosed economic analysis, a clear-eyed study of demographic and societal shifts, the realities of climate change and resource scarcity, a risk-based assessment of America’s challenges and opportunities, and on-the-ground reporting of how much this is already unfolding throughout the country. By rediscovering the power and discipline of grand strategy―and taking responsibility for our future―America can reimagine the American dream and once again take on “the cause of all mankind.”Released during one of America’s most divisive presidential election campaigns, "The New Grand Strategy" avoids the partisan rhetoric dividing our nation today. Instead of placing blame, it offers a clear, pragmatic plan that can unite Americans and launch a new era of prosperity and security._____________________________GuestJoel MakowerOn Linkedin 👉https://www.linkedin.com/in/makower/On Twitter 👉https://twitter.com/makower_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlue Lava: https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntweb_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signals_____________________________ResourcesBook: The New Grand Strategy: Restoring America’s Prosperity, Security, and Sustainability in the 21st CenturyArticle: https://www.greenbiz.com/article/irresistible-vision-behind-new-grand-strategy_____________________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Deb was covering the Cybersecurity Beat when most people didn't even know what it was, way before it was cool, and back when a professional journalist understood the difference between hackers and cybercriminals.As promised during our first short conversation about resilience during RSA Conference, we are back behind the microphones, and we dig deeper into Deb's story. This, as you will find out, is what inspired her to write her book, the story, the characters, and the whole message and vision that comes with it.Tune in and enjoy.__________________________About The BookA hacker war seventeen years in the making erupts after GlobeCom takes over the world through human chip implants.As dozens of hacker strike teams around the world attempt to relieve GlobeCom of its iron grip on humanity through a coordinated attack on its data centers, Cy is gravely injured and her husband is killed in the attack.At his funeral, Cy learns the hacker clans are now going after her secret spouse, a chief security officer from GlobeCom’s China hub who has been anonymously feeding the clans inside information to aid their cause. Without any idea the China hub’s CSO is their secret source of information, the hackers leave in the middle of the night to intercept him at the DC hub. Cy realizes they are most likely walking into a turf war between global powers with deep resources and state-of-the-art weaponry.

If you were on the internet back in the day, you might remember the excitement that came with it. The technology, the opportunities, the democratization of knowledge, and a new way to freely communicate with everyone and about everything. Well, not quite so.“When EFF was founded on July 10, 1990, it was revolutionary to imagine ordinary people possessing technology that could instantly erase distance, create connection, and access much of the world’s knowledge. The early Internet was an extraordinary place burgeoning with possibilities, and while the early users of digital world didn’t necessarily reflect the wider world or always get things right, they could see that this “new home of Mind” would change everything.But EFF wasn’t founded on a naïve belief that the coming change would create a digital utopia. Quite the contrary. For all the joy, creativity, and togetherness that technology can help bring, EFF took root because even from those early days it was clear that powerful new digital tools could be used to hurt as well as to heal. Censorship, corporate and government surveillance, and efforts to lock down and control innovation and innovators were all present from the beginning, too. EFF was created to fight against injustice and stand for freedom.Thirty years later we’re still standing, and taller than ever before.”— Cindy Cohn | EFF Executive Director *Read the full piece EFF's 30th Anniversary: https://www.eff.org/tags/eff30_______________________GuestCindy Cohn | Executive Director at Electronic Frontier FoundationOn Linkedin 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/in/cindy-cohn-9325/EFF On Twitter 👉 https://twitter.com/EFF_______________________This Episode’s SponsorsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntwebBlue Lava: https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qs_______________________ResourcesElectronic Frontier Foundation: https://www.eff.org_______________________For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Storytelling describes the social and cultural activity of sharing stories . While they can, and should, entertain, they also are meant to educate, share and preserve cultures, and instill moral values. The InfoSec community has certainly not been known for using stories to educate users. Still, as technology, cybersecurity, and society have started to intertwine, the need to do so has become clear and unavoidable.In this Audio Signals episode, we spoke with Dr. Victoria Baines and Rik Ferguson about “Project 2030 — Scenarios for the Future of Cybercrime.” A multimedia approach to envision our future cybersecurity future that will entertain, educate, and most of all — what we love the most at ITSPmagazine — will make you think.

Neurodiversity at Work is a practical guide that explains what neurodiversity is, why it's essential, and its benefits. It covers how to attract, recruit and engage neurodiverse talent... but, wait a minute!!! How about retaining and helping them flourish for a change?In this Audio Signals podcast with Theo Smith, we learn about neurodiversity in the workplace and the value they bring to a company when empowered to do so.As we often do on ITSPmagazine, we do that from the perspective of those who know it best: neurodiverse people.There are so many examples, case studies and research about the value of all types of diversity in the workplace and our societies. Denying the importance of it is like ignoring the value of biodiversity and its positive effect it has and has had on the development of life on our planet. Then again, people do discount this and many other things, so why are we surprised if we do the same with people?We want the results, but we do not understand what causes them. We want Supermen and Supergirls to join our business workforce, but we do not bother getting rid of the kryptonite we left scattered all over the place.Of this and so much more, we talk on this podcast.Now, if we could actually walk this talk, it would be a lot better for everyone. Really!!!About the book:An organization's employees are its biggest competitive advantage. Performance gains can be achieved through cost saving, process improvement or technology adoption, but the biggest difference is made by people. This means that recruiting, engaging and retaining the very best talent has never been more important.Crucially, these employees should be a diverse group of people with different approaches, skills and strengths in problem solving and driving innovation. As well as focusing on gender, race, age and class, it is critical that businesses also develop a neurodiverse workforce if they are committed to outperforming the competition and achieving sustainable business growth.Neurodiversity at Work is a practical guide that explains what neurodiversity is, why it's important and what the benefits are. It covers how to attract, recruit and engage neurodiverse talent and provides guidance on how to adapt HR policies, processes and workplaces to ensure that all employees, including the 2 in 10 employees in the UK who are neurodiverse, can reach their full potential.Neurodiversity at Work is packed full of case studies from leading organizations who are already seeing the productivity, performance and financial benefits of neurodiversity in the workplace including Microsoft, Ford and EY. Also featured are interviews with people who have successfully adapted their HR processes for neurodiversity, including the Head of Talent Acquisition at IBM and the Head of People and Culture at Autotrader. Including tips, advice, examples and 'how to' actions in every chapter, this is essential reading for every HR professional.GuestTheo Smith, Founder & Neurodiversity Evangelist at Neurodiversity at Work (@TheoSmithUK on Twitter) | Co-Author with Amanda Kirby, Neurodiversity at WorkThis Episode’s SponsorsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntwebBlue Lava: https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qsResourcesBook | Neurodiversity at Work: Drive Innovation, Performance & Productivity: https://www.amazon.com/Neurodiversity-Work-Performance-Productivity-Neurodiverse/dp/1398600261For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dr. Eric Cole is a former CIA hacker, cybersecurity commissioner to the Obama administration, and advisor to clients including the Obama family, Bill and Melinda Gates, Lockheed Martin, and McAfee.In his new book, CYBER CRISIS: Protecting Your Business from Real Threats in the Virtual World, Dr. Cole gives readers a clear-eyed picture of the information war raging in cyberspace.Drawing upon more than 30 years of experience—from the CIA to the White House to Fortune 500 companies worldwide—Dr. Cole offers practical, actionable advice tailored towards everyday people, often with little to no technical experience, about the steps we should all take to protect our professional and personal data.During our conversation with Dr. Cole, we hear some of the stories included in the book and how they were shaped by his many experiences in public service, commercial ventures, and civilian life.Understanding and translating technical topics into business and everyday language may be just that missing link we have been looking for.While you can never be completely safe and secure, there is a lot you can do to prepare and react, but how can you do that if you do not understand what the problem is?Listening to this podcast may just help you to get started.About the bookToday, we live our lives—and conduct our business—online. Our data is in the cloud and in our pockets on our smartphones, shuttled over public Wi-Fi and company networks. To keep it safe, we rely on passwords and encryption and private servers, IT departments and best practices. But as you read this, there is a 70 percent chance that your data is compromised . . . you just don’t know it yet.Cybersecurity attacks have increased exponentially, but because they’re stealthy and often invisible, many underplay, ignore, or simply don’t realize the danger. By the time they discover a breach, most individuals and businesses have been compromised for over three years. Instead of waiting until a problem surfaces, avoiding a data disaster means acting now to prevent one.In Cyber Crisis, Eric Cole gives readers a clear-eyed picture of the information war raging in cyberspace. Drawing on 30 years of experience—as a professional hacker for the CIA, as the Obama administration’s cybersecurity commissioner, and as a consultant to clients around the globe from Bill Gates to Lockheed Martin and McAfee—Cole offers practical, actionable advice that even those with little technical background can implement, including steps to take on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis to protect their businesses and themselves.No matter who you are or where you work, cybersecurity should be a top priority. The information infrastructure we rely on in every sector of our lives—in healthcare and finance, for governments and private citizens—is both critical and vulnerable, and sooner or later, you or your company will be a target.

Is there such a thing as human morality that can help us distinguish between good and evil. Or, is it influenced by cultures? Nowadays, we talk quite a bit about ethics because technology amplifies the issue: AI, algorithms, privacy, security, and surveillance.The meaning of life? Bathing at the beach naked or fully dressed? Was Big Brother right or wrong in 1984? How can a personal assistant do its job and respect privacy? Where do we draw a line between safety and privacy?We discuss these topics and many more in this podcast with Kevin Macnish — Ethics Expert for the European Commission and Former Assistant Professor at the University of Twente. We started off with defying ethics and who gets to decide what is moral and what is not — then it turns into a full-on roller coaster. It is a fun ride that may scare you a bit and make you think. What is wrong with that? Well, what is good and what is evil anyway?Listen up and decide for yourself. About the bookThe Ethics of Surveillance: An Introduction systematically and comprehensively examines the ethical issues surrounding the concept of surveillance. Addressing important questions such as:Is it ever acceptable to spy on one's allies?To what degree should the state be able to intrude into its citizens' private lives in the name of security?Can corporate espionage ever be justified?What are the ethical issues surrounding big data?How far should a journalist go in pursuing information?Is it reasonable to expect a degree of privacy in public?Is it ever justifiable for a parent to read a child's diary?Featuring case studies throughout, this textbook provides a philosophical introduction to an incredibly topical issue studied by students within the fields of applied ethics, ethics of technology, privacy, security studies, politics, journalism and human geography.REVIEWS"Ours is a world where surveillance is too often justified on a good guy vs bad guy, simplistic, paradigm. Macnish demonstrates the complexities in the ethics of surveillance in a thoughtful and comprehensive book that warrants careful reading by developers, users and subjects of surveillance alike." —Eric Stoddart, University of St. Andrews, UK"This book provides a compelling introduction to the wide range of ethical issues raised by the ever-present surveillance technologies that are characteristic of our world. In this lucid and philosophically sophisticated text, Kevin Macnish considers the implications of not only government espionage, but also the surveillance undertaken in the pursuit of national security, commercial competition and excellence in education and, further, demonstrates the numerous ways in which the practice of surveillance raises fundamental questions for social and political philosophers." —Adrian Walsh, University of New England, AustraliaGuestKevin Macnish, Ethics Expert, European Commission | Former Assistant Professor, University of Twente | Digital Ethics Consulting Manager, Sopra Steria (@kmacnish on Twitter)This Episode’s SponsorsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntwebBlue Lava: https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qsResourcesBook: The Ethics of Surveillance: An Introduction — https://www.amazon.com/Ethics-Surveillance-Introduction-Kevin-Macnish/dp/1138643793For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How good of a dish are you going to get when you use bad ingredients? Are you going to blame the recipe? Some people would, and by doing so, they would keep baking bad cooks and blaming the recipe for it. Algorithms work the same. You give AI bad data, you get bad results.The metaphor works well until you realize that, when you end up with a lousy meal, you can throw it in the trash and order from a restaurant and get a new meal. But when the algorithm is fed bad data, and that is supposed to save peoples' lives—you got the picture, right?So we need good data, good algorithms, and good technology; but that is not enough. Despite what many people like to think, there are no magic tech pills—humans envision, create, and use technology, and we need the right culture to obtains the right results. Our technology is only as good as we are, and culture drives everything we do as humans. If you feed machine learning with bias, you get an even more significant bias. If you inject bias into the medical culture, you kill people: both patients AND doctors.The American healthcare system should be the best in the world, but today it is not; doctors are burning out and making mistakes. Technology is not accepted and utilized as it should be. Racism shouldn’t be part of the healthcare system, but it is.Does it suck? Yes.Is there hope? Absolutely.Can technology help? You bet. How? Have a listen.About The BookDoctors Are Taught How To Cure People. But They Don’t Always Know How To Care For Them.Hardly anyone is happy with American healthcare these days. Patients are getting sicker and going bankrupt from medical bills. Doctors are burning out and making dangerous mistakes. Both parties blame our nation’s outdated and dysfunctional healthcare system. But that’s only part of the problem.In this important and timely book, Dr. Robert Pearl shines a light on the unseen and often toxic culture of medicine. Today’s physicians have a surprising disdain for technology, an unhealthy obsession with status, and an increasingly complicated relationship with their patients. All of this can be traced back to their earliest experiences in medical school, where doctors inherit a set of norms, beliefs, and expectations that shape almost every decision they make, with profound consequences for the rest of us.Uncaring draws an original and revealing portrait of what it’s actually like to be a doctor. It illuminates the complex and intimidating world of medicine for readers, and in the end offers a clear plan to save American healthcare.About the authorDr. Robert Pearl is the former CEO of The Permanente Medical Group. Named one of Modern Healthcare’s 50 most influential physician leaders, Pearl is a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine and the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He is the author of the Washington Post bestseller Mistreated, host of the Fixing Healthcare podcast, and a regular contributor to Forbes.*Profits from Uncaring will be donated to Doctors Without Borders GuestsDr. Robert M.

Let's face it, hacking got a bad reputation—it has been in the making for over 30 years, it got worse, and we have to change that. Humans want to have it simple; they want to define things as bad or good, white or black, heaven or hell—but there is so much more in between.ITSPmagazine has always taken a firm stand on the differentiation between hackers and cybercriminals. It sides with the curious minds that invent, improve, question, discover, reject the status quo, and embrace equality, freedom, and diversity—the hacker community.Critical thinking makes us human and got us to where we are today; of course, not everything is positive, but it is what we make of it. Acquiring knowledge and learning from past mistakes is what "should" make us better humans too.In this podcast, we learn the story of one of the first hackers' groups created back in the 80s—a time when just to access and use the Internet you had to have a hacker mentality, and War Games was inspiring generations to come.The CDC (Cult of the Dead Cow) is full of oddball characters—activists, artists, even future politicians. It is an elite secret society of hackers fighting to protect our privacy, our freedom, and even democracy itself.It is an extraordinary story and what makes it even more remarkable is that we hear it from the author himself, Joseph Menn: an investigative reporter for Reuters and the longest-serving and most respected mainstream journalist on cybersecurity.Have a seat, open your mind, and let it be free.ABOUT THE BOOKCult of the Dead Cow: How the Original Hacking Supergroup Might Just Save the WorldThe shocking untold story of the elite secret society of hackers fighting to protect our privacy, our freedom, and even democracy itself.Cult of the Dead Cow is the tale of the oldest, most respected, and most famous American hacking group of all time. Though until now it has remained mostly anonymous, its members invented the concept of hacktivism, released the top tool for testing password security, and created what was for years the best technique for controlling computers from afar, forcing giant companies to work harder to protect customers. They contributed to the development of Tor, the most important privacy tool on the net, and helped build cyberweapons that advanced US security without injuring anyone.With its origins in the earliest days of the Internet, the cDc is full of oddball characters -- activists, artists, even future politicians. Many of these hackers have become top executives and advisors walking the corridors of power in Washington and Silicon Valley. The most famous is former Texas Congressman and current presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke, whose time in the cDc set him up to found a tech business, launch an alternative publication in El Paso, and make long-shot bets on unconventional campaigns.Today, the group and its followers are battling electoral misinformation, making personal data safer, and battling to keep technology a force for good instead of for surveillance and oppression. Cult of the Dead Cow shows how governments, corporations, and criminals came to hold immense power over individuals and how we can fight back against them.”GuestJoseph Menn, Author, Cult of the Dead Cow: How the Original Hacking Supergroup Might Just Save the World | Projects Reporter, Reuters (@josephmenn on Twitter)This Episode’s SponsorsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntwebBlue Lava: https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qsResourcesBook: Cult of the Dead Cow: How the Original Hacking Supergroup Might Just Save the World — https://www.publicaffairsbooks.com/titles/joseph-menn/cult-of-the-dead-cow/9781541762381/For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Who hasn't heard grandparents say something like: back in my days, life was simpler, better, safer. That's probably—kinda—true. But as time goes by, looking back, even one generation has to take into consideration the technology variable.It is all another story—this one, to be exact.In this Audio Signals episode, we talk with Sonia Livingstone, a professor in the Department of Media and Communications at the London School of Economics and Political Science. Sonia has published 20 books on media audiences, especially children and young people's risks and opportunities, media literacy, and rights in the digital environment, including The Class: Living and Learning in the Digital Age.Nowadays, we point fingers at parents too quickly for not really knowing how to introduce and manage their children's technology consumption. Why are technology education classes missing in school, and how are parents supposed to figure this all out on their own? This question can also be summarized by "Who is educating the educators?"For generations, our society could count on learning from the past how to educate children about specific topics laid in the past experience that parents and grandparents had. Still, once you place the technology variable in the equation, the formula doesn't hold anymore. There are unknowns, exponential changes, and a future that all of a sudden is already here. What was once local has become global. And, there is a generational gap, and we have to figure out how to fill it ASAP.In "Parenting for a Digital Future, How Hopes and Fears about Technology Shape Children's Lives"Sonia Livingstone discusses this and much more, and we talk about it right here in this podcast.How parents' hopes and fears about technology shape their children's lives? Taking a comparative, critical, and contextualized approach, her research examines how mediation's changing conditions are reshaping everyday practices and possibilities for action.ABOUT THE BOOKIn the decades it takes to bring up a child, parents face challenges that are both helped and hindered by the fact that they are living through a period of unprecedented digital innovation.In Parenting for a Digital Future, Sonia Livingstone and Alicia Blum-Ross draw on extensive and diverse qualitative and quantitative research with a range of parents in the UK to reveal how digital technologies characterize parenting in late modernity, as parents determine how to forge new territory with little precedent or support.They chart how parents often enact authority and values through digital technologies since "screen time," games, and social media have become both ways of being together and of setting boundaries. Parenting for a Digital Future moves beyond the panicky headlines to offer a deeply researched exploration of what it means to parent in a period of significant social and technological change.Enjoy, share, and think about it.GuestSonia Livingstone, Professor of Social Psychology, Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics (@Livingstone_S on Twitter)This Episode’s SponsorsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntwebBlue Lava: https://itspm.ag/blue-lava-w2qsResourcesChildren’s Rights in the Digital AgeDigital Futures CommissionChildren Online: Research & Evidence (CO:RE)ySKILLS (YouthSkills)The Nurture NetworkGlobal Kids OnlineFor more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsTo see and hear more Redefining Technology stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-technologyAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Imagine you could experience worlds that you design and build the way you want them to be; alternative realities that you can enter and leave as you wish. Now, imagine there's no countries, nothing to kill or die for... imagine all the people, livin' life in peace.You may say I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one.Certainly not the only one. There are — and there have always been — brilliant minds that dream and work very hard to make wishes come true. The advancement of our knowledge and the convergence of advanced technologies has allowed us to reach goals in many different scientific disciplines that we could merely imagine a few decades ago. From self-driving cars and rovers on Mars; to Artificial Intelligence quantum computing; to clean energy and medical advancement — the future is a lot more present than you think.Some scenarios are more tangible than others; that may be, let's say, a bit more virtual and involve alternative realities. But what is reality anyway? In this podcast, we are joined by an incredible guest to talk about ant colonies, Metaverses, Virtual & Augmented Realities, diversity, ethics, and some thoughts about the future.She tells us about her zoology studies and how she became a Unity/C# games and software developer, specializing in immersive experiences such as AR, VR & XR.Her name is Antonia Forster. She is an experienced public speaker having delivered talks at venues including London Science Museum, the Royal Society, Kew Gardens, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, At-Bristol Science Museum, and more.In 2017, her record-breaking TEDxBristol talk was delivered to a live audience of 2,000 people and has since gained over 92,000 views online.In 2018, Antonia was nominated and shortlisted for Nature's John Maddox Prize in recognition of her work as an LGBTQ+ speaker and activist.She has been named one of Bristol's Top Nine "Women To Watch" in STEM and featured in numerous magazine, radio, and television features.Listen to this podcast, and we promise more fascinating conversations with her on ITSPmagazine.GuestAntonia Forster, XR Technical Specialist at Unity Technologies (@AntoniaRForster on Twitter)This Episode’s SponsorsNintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntwebResourcesMore about Antonia, her technical work, and her show reel: https://antoniaforster.com/For more podcast stories from Audio Signals: https://www.itspmagazine.com/audio-signalsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Nostalgia is not as good as it used to be. 😬 Each generation talks about the "good ole days" and how life was simpler, better; even the toys were so much simpler and more fun back then. Then technology kicked in — what's up next?From manual to mechanical; kinetic to electronic; analog to digital; calculator to a personal computer; telephone to the Internet — "real" reality to virtual and augmented versions, human intelligence to artificial intelligence — and everything in between, and beyond.Lately, each generation has found itself in the middle of some technological transformation. In the past 70 years, this has happened more often, and it has affected our society and personal everyday life in much more profound and significant ways.In the 80s, many exceptional transformations took place — we could consider it the portal that brought us in direct contact with the modern digital technology age. Faster than any past transformation before, our work, family, friends, and personal lives changed in front of our own eyes and opened the way to an unstoppable and constant change. Moore's law can give an idea of the magnitude here, but it may miss the full extent of today's technological evolution.We start the conversation today by looking back at the many electronic gadgets, our first electronic games, Walkman's, digital watches, and the first computers of our younger age. Then we try to understand what made them so unique and so magical to have captured our attention at the time; in many cases, they actually shaped our future professional lives.Will the young generations of today look back at a smartphone the same way we look at a VHS player back then? What made that technology so unique? What makes vintage electronics and gadgets still capture our attention and the desire to bring those back into our lives even today. Maybe even more than ever.This is where technology and life meet, but we promise that these conversations will not stop here. We do not know where they will go, but if you stay tuned, you will know when we do.Guest(s)Diana Kelley, Limor Kessem, Chris Roberts, Cody Wamsley, and Scott SchefermanThis Episode’s Sponsors:If you’d like to sponsor this or any other podcast episode on ITSPmagazine, you can learn more here: https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorshipsFor more podcast stories from Unusual Gatherings: https://www.itspmagazine.com/unusual-gatheringsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We often feel the need to clarify the real meaning of marketing terms floating around technology and cybersecurity. We believe in sharing knowledge and educate people instead of fooling and luring them with blinking lights. Today we go back to terms we have discussed in the past and see if we have made any progress in the way we present them to the general public: artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).In today's episode, nearly four years later, we invited Scott Scheferman to see what has changed since, and to do so in a more conversational style, we asked him to co-host this episode and bring a guest with him: Joyce Drohan.The capabilities brought to bear by AI and ML have become table stakes in cybersecurity. Customers expect every vendor to have some form of AI or ML in their product or service. However, does it matter to the customer if it works; how it works?Apart from the marketing use of these terms, the big questions are what is real now and what is not; what are the way we can benefit from AI and ML in the present time; what can be considered the next feasible advancement that we can see coming; and what fields will help the most.In fields such as cybersecurity, medicine, banking, there are already returns on investment that are clear, quantifiable, and somehow unrefutable. We may all agreed that "It takes a Terminator to kill a Terminator." But we may as well decide on when a "Terminator" would not be appropriate. In doing so, we enter the realm of society where the technology operates in connection with humans and for humans. Let's use ethics and philosophy to think about desirable or unpleasant scenarios before it is too late.Will we ever get to a point when humans are no longer needed?Do we want that?We believed that we should always be needed and most definitely be in a position where we still have a choice in the matter.What do you think?Listen up and let us know your thoughts.Guest(s)Joyce DrohanCo-Host(s)Scott SchefermanThis Episode’s Sponsors:If you’d like to sponsor this or any other podcast episode on ITSPmagazine, you can learn more here:https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorshipsFor more podcast stories from Unusual Gatherings: https://www.itspmagazine.com/unusual-gatheringsAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Music holds a special place in most humans' hearts. It makes us feel; makes us think; makes us act; makes us interact.
