What is the current state of artificial intelligence, and what will it look like in the future? Camille and Tom chat with Itay Yogev, GM of Artificial Intelligence at Intel IT. This conversation is part 1 of a 3 part series from AI Everywhere, ​​an internal Intel initiative and conference which includes keynotes, tech talks, tutorials, and an AI expo. Their conversation covers what’s happening in artificial intelligence right now and how it’s more developed than many people think, where AI is being used (such as quality improvement, sales assistants, and finding bugs), the future of AI in the workplace, and the ethics and privacy concerns of AI developers. Artificial intelligence is the present, not the future. Listen in to learn more about how Intel is implementing AI for quality improvement and how humans remain in control while yielding great results with the help of AI!

What do scientists do with the data they gather from emotion recognition research? In this episode, Camille talks with three experts in very different fields all coming together to look at intelligent systems and emotion recognition research. Her guests are Saurav Sahay (Staff Researcher and Manager of Multimodal Dialogue and Interactions Team at Intel Labs), Sinem Aslan (Research Scientist), and Dawn Nafus (Anthropologist). Their conversation covers what emotion recognition research is and why it’s so collaborative across disciplines, where emotion recognition research is being tested and used, what types of sensors are used to collect emotional recognition data through artificial intelligence, and the ethics of emotion recognition research. From driving to classrooms, predictive text, medicine, and more, emotion recognition research is aided by AI to help scientists improve the world around us. But, how do ethicists, anthropologists, and computer scientists ensure emotion recognition research and AI is conducted ethically? Listen to find out!

Did you know patches and updates can be major security risks? Tom and Camille are diving into managing and securing patch updates with Gabe Frost, Group Project Manager at Microsoft. Their conversation covers the changing conversations about patches and patch updates over the years in an increasingly digital and hybrid world, the difficulty of predicting patch performance due to the wide variety of hardware and software combinations, what new technology is being developed to improve patches and updates, and how to manage risk and security when sending updates to many people. The hybrid environment of software, hardware, and the endless combinations in between can make successfully implementing patches and anticipating obstacles very challenging for IT teams. Hear what Gabe Frost has to say about Microsoft’s focus on analytics and testing tools to mitigate these challenges, including disruptions to productivity and security risks!

Can technology understand human emotions? Camille explores intelligent systems and artificial intelligence with Lama Nachman, Intel Fellow and Director of Human & AI Systems Research Lab. Their conversation covers how intelligent systems use a combination of technologies to improve human experiences, the difference between a full virtual setting and one that is a mix of virtual and analog, the types of devices used to observe daily activities and how they work, and how privacy and ethics play an important role with as the digital and physical worlds blend together. Intelligent systems research combines social science, design, AI, and hardware and software engineering to help scientists improve our daily lives as we use technology in our physical environments. How does AI gather this data, and how is it being ethically used? Listen to find out!

What do artificial intelligence, quantam computing, and cloudification have to do with each other? Camille and Tom review the article they wrote about cybersecurity trends, discussing what’s important right now and topics on the horizon. Critical infrastructure goes beyond roads, water, electrical grids, etc. — it now includes networks, connectivity, and cloudification for the purpose of communication and digital connectivity! How can we ensure the security of this new critical infrastructure? When it comes to artificial intelligence, there is both great progress but also great hesitancy due to ethical and privacy concerns. What does the future of AI look like? And as quantum computing is on the horizon, how can security measures catch up? Hear what Camille and Tom have to say about all these questions and more!

So, what does the popularity of NFTs mean for the future? Camille continues her conversation on non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with Mic Bowman, Senior Principal Engineer at Intel. This second part of the conversation covers why NFTs even exist, how NFTs could become commonplace for patents and software, how NFTs could play a role in data collection, and the privacy and ethics of NFTs and digital data. Ownership is at the heart of NFTs, from owning valuable data, to patents, to unique works of art, thus creating digital scarcity. People want to own something unique that is fully theirs — but how much of it do they really own? The legality of NFTs is still very new, and there are concerns about security, data sharing, and asset copying. Listen in to hear Camille and Mic’s insights about these key NFT talking points!

What's going on with all these new NFTs? Camille Morhardt jumps into the non-fungible token (NFT) conversation with Mic Bowman, Senior Principal Engineer at Intel. Their conversation covers what an NFT even is, how people purchase and trade NFTs, the difference between owning an NFT and owning the asset the NFT is connected to, and the future of NFTs. While NFTs have existed for many years for the purchase of digital assets such as art, music, or video game aesthetics, their popularity has massively increased over the past year. Almost exclusively bought with cryptocurrency, the purchasing and usability of NFTs can also be quite complicated. Listen to learn more about the past, present, and future of NFTs!

2021 was a big one for cybersecurity events! Camille and Tom get into the biggest cybersecurity topics of the past year with Maribel Lopez, Founder and Principal Analyst at Lopez Research. Their conversation covers the large-scale attacks on infrastructure across industries, where the attacks caused the largest impact on systems, the development of artificial intelligence (AI), and how to convince companies and key decision-makers on the importance of cybersecurity. When it comes to large-scale attacks, we saw gas lines, hospitals, schools, and more become targeted — largely due to old infrastructure and non-updated consumer systems. The rise of AI both helps and hurts security, as cybercriminals learn new ways to breach AI systems that store massive amounts of data. The monetary impact of data loss through cybersecurity breaches will be the most convincing factor for business and decision makers to improve security measures. Listen to learn more about these developments and how to stay secure!

How do you ensure security compliance is communicated between teams? Camille talks with Roman Zhukov, Product Security Manager at Intel about Security Champions and their roles in product development. Their conversation covers what a Security Champion is and what they do in a product team, how the role of a Security Champion has changed over time, how to encourage effective Security Champion and cybersecurity training, and who’s responsible for which parts of security during product development. As a liaison between a product division and a security group, a Security Champion at the most basic level exists to ensure their team is ready to meet security needs. They are often the bridge between two departments by relaying security information during development, and they can also convey important security information between employees and development teams.
