My guest today is Jay Baloo, who is Singularity University's fellow for computing and cybersecurity. In this conversation, we pull back the curtain on what “lawful surveillance” really means… how quantum computing could break the encryption we all rely on… and why the biggest vulnerability might not be technological… but human.

Because when it comes to cybersecurity, it’s not just the algorithms that matter. It’s our willingness  or unwillingness to change.

Jaya helps us understand what’s coming and what leaders, policymakers, and everyday users can do right now to prepare. We cover deepfakes, digital trust, AI-assisted attacks, and the steps we can all take to defend our future.

Whether you’re a technologist, an executive, or just someone trying to keep your data safe, this episode will challenge the way you think about digital security and remind you why our future resilience depends as much on people as it does on code.

Jaya has been in the cybersecurity realm for two decades, widely acknowledged as one of the top 100 Chief Information Security Officers, or CISOs. She was a CISO for KPN Telecom, a vast Chief Security Officer for Rapid7. She's been a COO now for a stealth mode AI and cybersecurity startup. So interested to hear if there's any hints we can get about that.

Just previously, the vice chair of the EU Commission's Quantum Flagship Strategic Advisory Board, which was a $1 billion effort to understand the key opportunities and challenges of our quantum future. Interested to hear more about that. And there's Internet Security Trainer for Bankers Trust, Technical Security Specialist for Trans Telecom, and a practice lead for Lawful Interception for Verizon.

Biotech isn’t a vertical. It’s a foundation.
And according to Dr. Tiffany Vora, it will be as revolutionary in the next decade as artificial intelligence is today.

In this episode of Possible Futures, Tiffany joins host Gary Bolles to explore how biology is becoming programmable, why we need to shift our thinking from lifespan to healthspan, and what it means to thrive in ecosystems we design — on Earth or off it.

Together, they dive into:

• CRISPR, RNA therapies, and gene editing breakthroughs

• Why aging may actually be a treatable disease

• How space exploration helps us solve Earth’s biggest problems

• The moral, political, and emotional stakes of biotech access

• What a 120-year life might look and feel like

Tiffany’s work spans cancer research, computational biology, biotech startups, and space innovation — and in this conversation, she brings clarity to the science and urgency to the questions. Whether you're a policymaker, parent, or just biotech-curious, this episode will change how you think about the future of life.

In this episode of Possible Futures, host Gary Bolles sits down with writer, researcher, and Singularity University expert Aaron Frank to explore a provocative question: What happens when our digital and physical realities blur—and which one will feel more real?

From a childhood question about humanity’s technological acceleration to leading conversations on the future of spatial computing, Aaron takes us through the promises and pitfalls of immersive tech, virtual worlds, and digital twins. Together, they unpack:

• Why spatial computing is about more than just VR headsets

• What digital twins and 3D simulations mean for cities, training, and global sustainability

• The real-world impact of immersive learning—from Walmart to the NFL

• The dangers of data surveillance, hyper-commercialization, and forgetting our biological selves

• A surprisingly human vision of 2030—centered on connection, nature, and... ice hockey?

Whether you’re a technologist, a skeptic, or simply future-curious, this conversation will leave you questioning what’s real, what’s next, and what kind of world we actually want to build.
