Episode 53: Billions Spent in Boondoggle to Botch Data Protection by the EU Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

We've all been getting slammed by the notifications and requests regarding privacy policies over the past month. This massive update to data protections stems from the EU's latest regulation, GDPR, and it doesn't matter where you live, you're likely going to be affected. Ostensibly, this law is supposed to give consumers more protection and transparency around their data, and in some respects it does. But does it actually make us safer and more secure? What are some of the unintended consequences of the new regulation?

Episode 50: Google Duplex - AI Outrage or Overreaction? May 15, 2018

Show notes

Google showcased its latest advancement in AI at the most recent I/O conference - Google Duplex. This new technology is amazing! Google has achieved real, human-like conversations to make bookings at restaurants, salons, and other businesses. Despite this technical achievement, other questions are raised. Clearly, the individuals who interacted with Duplex in the examples assumed they were speaking with a human, ought Google - and other, future companies - disclose that users are speaking with a bot? What are the consequences of disclosure? Is Google being deceptive or unethical? Why is the reaction to this announcement so visceral?
