Privacy Lawls

You’re on the do-not-call list. You’ve blocked the number. And somehow, your phone is ringing again with another spam call. What gives?

In this episode, we sit down with Felix Shipkevich to unpack why spam calls and texts remain such a persistent problem, even after decades of laws and regulations designed to stop them.

We explore the laws meant to protect consumers, where they fall short, and what can actually be done to fight back against spammers. Because if the rules are supposed to stop these calls, why are we still getting so many of them?

AI is becoming an increasingly common place to turn with questions about our health, but what happens when we share our most sensitive medical information with a machine?

AI can be a powerful tool, but when it comes to something as important as your health, the stakes are incredibly high. This episode takes a closer look at the risks and why we should think carefully before handing our medical information or our medical decisions over to AI.
