It can happen to any one of us. A software developer working at a big company is suddenly fired by his company's automated system and no one knows why or how to stop the system from terminating the employee. The story went viral this Summer, with everyone weighing in on the perils of automation and befuddled human beings who may become victims of rogue technology. Charlie discusses this troubling scenario, among other things, with  guest, John Pavley, Senior Vice President of Software Engineering at Viacom

If you've ever been to a Tech 2025 event, you've undoubtedly seen Rebeca managing the event, greeting attendees, managing staff, and taking care of guest speakers, among other things. Rebeca Cornejo is our incomparable Media Coordinator - she's also a college student majoring in communication, a millennial who thinks deeply about emerging technology and an artist (photography).

Charlie kicks off Season 3 with an interview with Rebeca.

We're back! It's the end of Summer and we're heading into Labor Day weekend and Fall 2018 with a new season of Tech 2025.

Charlie shares how this season will be different than others (hint: YOU) and why she's excited about Fall 2018.

If you knew that AI would destroy mankind in 150 years, would you still support it?

This is the question, asked by Dr. Seth Baum of the Global Catastrophic Risk Institute during his presentation, that resonated the most with Francine Mends (a neuro-radiologist, freelance writer, and soon to be digital nomad who now trains AI in radiology) when she attended our think tank, What is AI and How Can We Keep It from Harming Humanity?.

Charlie welcomes Seth Clevenger (Managing Editor at Transport Topics), who we've had the pleasure of having as guest speaker at our think tank, "Driverless Trucks Will Come Before Driverless Cars – Here’s How They Will Disrupt Everything." Charlie and Seth discuss how the adoption of disruptive technologies are impacting truck drivers, how these technologies are changing truck driving culture, and what might be needed to draw younger generations (millennials and, eventually, Gen Z) to the professio

He's baaaaack! Ed Maguire takes some time out of his hectic schedule to chat it up with Charlie on everything from innovation, to the future of work, to crypto whale sightings and Blockchain bros with Lamborghinis (it's just like old times again!). Ed is Insights Partner at Momenta Partners and Founding Partner at Bluemont Partners.

As we begin season two shining a light on Tech 2025 members who are defining emerging technologies and inspiring us to push beyond our perceived limitations, we could hardly find a shining star brighter and more inspiring than Faith Legendre (Business Outcome Strategist, Cisco Systems). Faith is passionate about helping people. She specializes in corporate and social good, benefitting both at Cisco and The Aspen Institute. And she is a self-professed "hoarder of #humansideoftech use cases of tech."

On our 1-year anniversary of the launch of Tech 2025 (January 11, 2017), we’re going back… waaay back. Charlie takes us back to the very first Tech 2025 event (Battle of the Chatbots & Conversational Interfaces in 2017) with special guest Alec Lazarescu (writer at Chatbots Magazine, and founder of Bots and AI meetup in NYC with over 1,600 members). As a part of our efforts to highlight communities on emerging technologies around the world, Charlie talks to Alec about his growing chatbot community.

Aaaaand we're BACK! Now that 2017 is in our rearview mirror, and 2018 is staring us dead in our eyes, Charlie briefly pops in to explain why she's optimistic about 2018, what you can expect in Season 2 of the podcast, and to say Happy Anniversary to the Tech 2025 community on this one-year mark since we launched.

Happy New Year!
