In the spirit of Thanksgiving Tom and Camille highlight the work their guests are doing that they are thankful for — including ethical considerations of AI, why the race for AI is one of most important for humankind, and how academia and the cyber security industry can work together.

The conversation covers:

• Leading thoughts on AI

• Ethical considerations of AI

• Cyber security and digital manufacturing technologies

• Why the relationship between academics and the cyber security industry matters

...and more. Don’t miss it!

The views and opinions expressed are those of the guests and author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Intel Corporation.

Here are some key take-aways:

• AI is one of the most important races in humankind right now, coming second will not be an option.

• Human ethics needs to be taken into consideration when developing AI. AI is built on systems and structures in society. These systems have racist structures which means we need to be careful AI doesn’t perpetuate inequality.

• Digital manufacturers are working on the ability to detect data hacks as they transmit data all over the world.

• Academics and the data security industry need to make sure they are engaging with each other to understand future trends.

Some interesting quotes from today’s episode:

“When it comes to certain technologies like Artificial Intelligence, coming in second place can't happen. You know, there's such a first mover’s advantage. This is one of the reasons why Vladmir Putin said “whoever masters AI’s gonna master the world.” So that race, yes, brings out the best in us, but in some cases, if we don't win, it's going to have an impact on our economy.” Will Hurd, former Congressman and undercover CIA officer

“When we ask or think about, you know, who is this responsible to? I think the first question is really where is the greatest impact going to be felt? And to figure that out, I always start by asking or thinking about, you know, in which context will this technology we use be deployed? And who are the communities and users who might be impacted?.” Chloe Autio, Intel alumni and Advisor and Senior Manager, the Cantellus Group

“The data security issues, the ability to sort of get in there and, and hack any of that and modify any of that is just sort of stop and stop and step back and think about that and you're like, “Holy cow! There's so many places this could go wrong now. Right. And how do I secure all of this?” Tim Simpson, Paul Morrow Professor of Engineering Design and Manufacturing at Penn State
