The dark side of AI and Connect's Prof Marco Ruffini on sustainable networks

With the rise of artificial intelligence, a new frontier emerges in human cognition and experience. Concepts such as consciousness and creativity are constantly redefined by algorithms and code performances. Extraction, manipulation, and radicalization are some of the intensified side effects of applying computational techniques to traditional media. Can adopting radical transparency, decentralization, and the inclusion of non-human perspectives help us steer this new media toward becoming a productive force of sustainability and regeneration? 
One of the central topics of this episode is the concept of deep fakes, an emergent technology with profound societal implications. The episode further delves into its intricacies through a podcast hosted by Marta Peirano, a journalist specializing in technology and power, who is joined by researcher specializing in deep fakes Henry Ajder and human rights advocate and technologist Sam Gregory. Together, they offer invaluable perspectives on the opportunities and challenges posed by synthetic media.

Aaron Kowal and guest Mike Senkbeil of Chortek discuss how AI is being used in cybersecurity attacks, examine the cybersecurity curve to determine where your business falls, and share thoughts on why AI is like the Manhattan Project.

The Retirement Clinic-5-18-24 – AI & Cybersecurity

Cheap Fakes and Plain Old Lies

Artificial intelligence is leading humanity towards what many see as a new renaissance for human creativity, augmented by almost unlimited computing power.  Others fear recursive AI could get out of control and behave in ways that are unpredictable and undesirable. Dr Ian Storey updates us on how far away we are from Kurtweil's Singularity, implications for information security and the potential for an AI super intelligence to come to being by 2045. Or earlier.

The Road To Singularity

A Vortex To Singularity

This week, dive into a whirlwind of tech with Apple’s latest M4-powered Mac mini, MacBook Pro, and iMac. We question if smaller, faster, AI-boosted devices are really game-changers or just Apple’s spin? 
Also, brace yourself for Russia’s wild $110 trillion 'fine' for YouTube, AI’s impact on the music industry -artists from Black Pink to Kendrick Lamar plus legendary interviewer Michael Parkinson makes an uncanny return.
Finally, Niall Kitson sits down with guest Kevin Reid, CTO of SureSkills, to unpack deeper layers of cybersecurity from ensuring power continuity during outages to managing data backups and staying compliant with evolving European regulations.

Piers and Andrew chew the phat and agree we're in an AI bubble which could burst at any moment. POP! We ruminate on the future of work and which jobs are stayers in the new paradigm; how AI has shifted employment, not destroyed it. We get esoteric in the uncanny valley of deep fakes, artificial muzak and alien art. We discuss AI's integration into kids' education and the need for guardrails, especially given the tragic suicide of a US teen allegedly egged on by an AI chat bot. We reckon AI needs control and has definite limitations, but should be a force for good.

AI: Over-hyped & Over-feared

This week Niall and Dusty unpack Budget 2025's spending commitments, ask when the AI bubble will burst, and wonder why anyone would want to reanimate the dead through deep fakes. Finally, we explore why hosting your data in orbit might be a brilliant idea.Plus, Microsoft national technology officer Kieran McCorry talks about how the workplace is changing in with the advent of AI and why Gen Z is using it less than their elders.

This week we have the really mundane reason for Monday’s massive AWS outage. Closer to home, an AI-generated deepfake video showed an Irish election candidate withdrawing from the race, complete with a convincing fake Sharon Ní Bheoláin presenting it on RTÉ News. The question everyone’s asking: who made it, and how do we stop this becoming the new normal? Plus, we’ll look at why your driving licence is going digital by 2030.
