The second half of our interview with author and strategist P.W. Singer. He discusses his latest book - Burn In - where he translates real-world research about Artificial Intelligence into a glimpse at a future we’re not too far away from if things go wrong and we do not protect ourselves. "In our lifetime for the next year 10 or 20 years, artificial intelligence is not about a rebellion of the robots (a-la the Terminator). It's industrial revolution. It's a rewiring of business, military, the economy, our society with AI and automation in all its various forms...In these scenarios, AI is not just about prediction, it's also about influence."

The Nightmare: A Story by AI

Electricity. Finance. Transportation. Our water supply. In Hack the Plant, podcast host Bryson Bort looks for answers to the question: Does connecting these systems, and others, to the internet leaves us more vulnerable to attacks by our enemies? We often take these critical infrastructure systems for granted, but they’re all becoming increasingly dependent on the internet to function. From the ransomware threats of Colonial Pipeline to the failure of the Texas power grid, it is clear our interconnectivity is also a significant source of risk. Hack the Plant walks through the world of hackers working on the front lines of cyber security and public safety to protect the systems you rely upon every day. 

Hack the Plant is brought to you by ICS Village and the Institute for Security and Technology.

ICS Village is a nonprofit that equips industry experts and policymakers with the tools to better defend our critical infrastructure. We educate people on critical infrastructure security with hands-on examples, not just nerd stuff. Catch us at an event near you! www.icsvillage.com.

The Institute for Security and Technology is a nonprofit think tank with the mission to bridge gaps between technology and policy leaders to help solve these emerging security problems together. Learn more at securityandtechnology.org.
