Show notes

In this episode of the EmTech Cast, Jim Brinksma of Black Python talks with CompTIA Communities leader Jim Hamilton about the investing side of emerging tech, advances in multi-language processing and machine perception, and the five areas of emerging technology that Brinksma believes we should keep our eyes on.

Listen to the episode for a discussion embedding trust into emerging tech like artificial intelligence and blockchain, and how Brinksma imagines emerging technologies will play out in the next 20 years. The discussion covers ways em-tech breaks down old communication barriers, how computers are learning to replicate human emotion and the importance of building trust in our new technologies. When people build out software and services related to emerging tech, they leave in security gaps that can be exploited, Brinksma said. How can we trust systems that have been created with security loopholes to aid customer experience, aggregate data and include lawful intercept capabilities?

Stay tuned to the second half of the episode when they take a deep dive into some potential use cases for emerging tech, like robots providing home care and companionship for the elderly.

Analog Ethics in our Digital World

Until we’re sure what our AR and VR future looks like, we have to plan for the unknown, and that includes the ethics of our digital inventions.

That’s the seed of this conversation with by Jim Blasingame, author of “The 3rd Ingredient: The Journey of Analog Ethics into the World of Digital Fear and Greed.”

In the second episode of The Em Cast, by the Emerging Technologies Community, Blasingame talks with CompTIA executive Jim Hamilton about the wild world of ethics related to emerging tech, and how some of the analog rules still apply.

“We’re responsible for digital ethics ourselves,” said Blasingame. “We need to be part of the solution.”

The Emerging Technology Community is one of 10 CompTIA Communities and works to encourage the adoption of new and emerging technology, as long as it improves business outcomes for members and their clients. While digital adoption overtakes analog processes, we’re still analog beings requiring analog ethics, Blasingame said.

“And if you don’t put ethics into digital leverage you won’t get ethics out of it,” he said. Listen to the podcast now on iTunes or where you subscribe to your favorite podcasts.
