Podcast appearances and mentions of ben buchanan

This week Mike speaks to Ben Buchanan, Assistant Professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and former Director for Technology and National Security on the National Security Council and White House Special Advisor on AI. He was also the former Director of the CyberAI Project at the Center for Security and Emerging Technology at Georgetown University and has written several influential books. They discuss AI competition between the U.S. and China.

Superintelligens, der kan overgå mennesket på langt de fleste områder, kommer ikke om 5-10 år, men måske allerede mens Trump stadig er præsident. Om få år står vi over for en teknologi, der kan transformere alt - med konsekvenser, vi endnu ikke forstår. Og vi er langt fra klar, lyder det i en podcast-snak mellem Ezra Klein og Ben Buchanan, tidligere AI-rådgiver for Joe Biden. Vi diskuterer, om det virkelig kan passe. Tesla-aktien er styrtdykket, siden Trump blev præsident. Er det markedet, der straffer Musks drejning mod MAGA, eller er det troen på Teslas selvkørende fremtid, der vakler? Vi diskuterer også, hvorfor USA har sat en pause på offensive cyberoperationer mod Rusland, der ellers betragtes som en af de største cybertrusler mod Vesten. Det gør vi i selskab med Jens Monrad, chefanalytiker hos Google Mandiant. Værter: Marcel Mirzaei-Fard, vært og Henrik Moltke, DRs techkorrespondent.

Are we truly on the brink of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)? Or are we underestimating how unprepared we are for what's coming?In this episode of Leveraging AI, we dive into the latest AI breakthroughs, the geopolitical arms race for AI supremacy, and the government's struggle to keep up. With insights from top AI policy advisors and newly released research from Eric Schmidt, Dan Hendricks, and Alexander Wang, we break down what's at stake and why business leaders must pay attention now.Key Takeaways from This Episode:The government knows AGI is coming—but is it doing enough to prepare?China vs. the U.S.: The high-stakes battle for AI dominance and what it means for global power.Superintelligence strategy: How AI safety experts see the future (and why it sounds like a sci-fi thriller).AI's impact on business & jobs: Will automation lead to mass displacement or massive opportunities?AI agents, humanoid robots & the changing internet: Why businesses need to rethink their digital strategies NOW.Links & Resources Mentioned: 

Artificial general intelligence — an A.I. system that can beat humans at almost any cognitive task — is arriving in just a couple of years. That's what people tell me — people who work in A.I. labs, researchers who follow their work, former White House officials. A lot of these people have been calling me over the last couple of months trying to convey the urgency. This is coming during President Trump's term, they tell me. We're not ready.One of the people who reached out to me was Ben Buchanan, the top adviser on A.I. in the Biden White House. And I thought it would be interesting to have him on the show for a couple reasons: He's not connected to an A.I. lab, and he was at the nerve center of policymaking on A.I. for years. So what does he see coming? What keeps him up at night? And what does he think the Trump administration needs to do to get ready for the AGI — or something like AGI — he believes is right on the horizon?This episode contains strong language.Mentioned:“Machines of Loving Grace” by Dario Amodei“Ninety-five theses on AI” by Samuel Hammond“What It Means to be Kind in a Cruel World” by The Ezra Klein Show with George SaundersBook recommendations:The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas KuhnRise of the Machines by Thomas RidA Swim in a Pond in the Rain by George SaundersThoughts?

When the weather gets hot and humid the risk for anhidrosis increases, especially in the Southern and Gulf Coast regions. Join us, alongside veterinary experts Drs. Piper Norton, Ben Buchanan and Jerome Kotzur, as we explore the intricacies of anhidrosis, what causes this disruption in normal sweating, and what veterinarians are reaching for in terms of treatments and preventive strategies.

Ben Buchanan takes us around the AI world for his conversations with AI companies from Anthropic, Microsoft and Google as well as Apple's integration with OpenAI. He acknowledges that the pace of AI requires the government to move fast but says “we're trying to make it earn its reputation and make it live up to the lofty claims that are sometimes given to it.”

The Biden administration escalated its tech war with China last week, taking a pair of actions aimed at cracking down on Beijing's access to data on Americans. Ben Buchanan, the White House special adviser on artificial intelligence, tells host Steven Overly why these latest actions are necessary and how they fit into the president's AI agenda.

In this episode we delve into the intricacies of the meat industry with Ben Buchanan, a seasoned butcher with two decades of experience. Ben shares his insights into the challenges facing local and regional meat farmers and butchers, particularly in the shadow of Big Agriculture and factory farming practices. Ben sheds light on the "Chickenification" phenomenon that has permeated the chicken and pork industries, driven by the influence of hedge funds and the relentless pursuit of profit. Despite the brief lessons learned during the pandemic, Ben laments the return to business as usual and emphasizes the importance of education in preserving the local meat industry. Drawing from his own endeavors, Ben discusses his innovative solutions, including the development of a mobile processing unit, aptly named the "rig," and the establishment of a certified butcher training program in collaboration with Community Kitchen Pittsburgh. Through hands-on classes and public events, Ben and his team aim to empower individuals with the skills necessary to sustainably process and appreciate locally sourced meat. For those passionate about supporting local agriculture and understanding the complexities of the meat industry, this episode offers a compelling exploration of sustainable practices and the pursuit of conscientious consumption. Tune in as we navigate the intersection of tradition, innovation, and ethical stewardship with Ben Buchanan's Unified Fields.

What Will Tomorrow's Freight Broker Do with Ben Buchanan Ben Buchanan and Joe Lynch talk about what tomorrow's freight broker will do. Ben is VP of Account Management at Loadsmart, which is transforming the future of freight, they leverage artificial intelligence, machine learning and strategic partnerships to automate how freight is priced, booked and shipped. About Ben Buchanan Ben Buchanan is VP of Account Management at Loadsmart, leading a team of account managers and sales representatives focused on growing relationships with enterprise and small/medium enterprise shippers by providing additional value to address their unique challenges. Ben has a decade of experience in freight brokerage across various leadership roles, building best-in-class teams for high growth and scalability while delivering for the customer. He earned his logistics stripes at GlobalTranz, learning the business and riding the fast growth wave to impactful leadership positions, and under Buchanan's leadership at Loadsmart the account sales team has grown in headcount by 860% and in revenue by 578% (1H YoY 2020 - 2021). Ben holds a BA in Political Science from Arizona State University and currently sits on the Board of Directors for the American Charter School Foundation. Prior to GlobalTranz he worked as an educator and high school basketball coach. About Loadsmart Transforming the future of freight, Loadsmart leverages artificial intelligence, machine learning and strategic partnerships to automate how freight is priced, booked and shipped. Pairing advanced technologies with deep-seated industry expertise, Loadsmart fuels growth, simplifies operational complexity and bolsters efficiency for carriers and shippers alike. Key Takeaways: What Will Tomorrow's Freight Broker Do Ben Buchanan is the Vice President of Account Management at Loadsmart, a digital freight brokerage that leverages cutting-edge technology and strategic partnerships to help shippers and carriers move more with less. The freight brokerage space is rapidly transforming as digital freight brokerage companies like Loadsmart deploy technology to automate processes, reduce cost per load, and deliver a superior customer experience. In the interview, Ben describes 5 things that freight brokers will be expected to do in the very near future. Of course, some of the industry leaders like Loadsmart are delivering these innovations today. Instantaneous freight quotes created by a dynamic pricing tool that delivers the right price with guaranteed capacity. No more back and forth emails and phone calls haggling over pricing. Dynamic pricing powered by artificial intelligence provides an instant rate that reflects the most updated market intelligence. Mode optimization automatically included in each quote. Mode optimization has traditionally been promised, but not delivered because the analysis was completed by people who didn't have the data or tools. Now, mode options with instantly bookable rates across modes including rail, LTL, PTL, and FTL, enable shippers to optimize shipments based on sustainability, cost, and expediency. Data insights that enable shippers to learn from not just their own data and insights — but from each other. To achieve best in class performance, shippers need to be able to compare their KPIs to their industry peers. Additionally, brokers must be able to analyze shipment data and provide actionable data insights that drive operational improvement across the entire shipping function. Rate transparency that empowers the shipper to know exactly what they are paying for. As digital freight brokers automate and streamline the shipping process that was traditionally managed manually, the value added has changed. In the new model, freight brokers won't be rewarded financially for getting a big spread (cost of truck vs price to shipper). Instead, new pricing models and incentives have evolved that align the shipper and broker. Shift to digital means that freight brokers will need to find new ways to add value to both shippers and carriers. To deliver a superior customer experience, freight brokerages will need to provide the best of tech and the best of people.

Loadsmart is a freight tech company that's been operating since 2014 with a big API focus-especially with TMS platforms. For those unaware, API is essentially a data connection between two sources that usually has the goal of making a process more streamlined. With how fragmented many sectors of our supply chain have and currently still are--adopting more AI use cases could have a profound benefit. Loadsmart is using more and more AI technology and applying it to freight in order to automate how truckload and intermodal freight are priced, booked, and shipped.In today's conversation, we're chatting with Loadsmart's VP of account management, Ben Buchanan on how the company is leveraging this technology as well as adapting to a new hybrid work model. Listen to these shows next: Using Cloud Computing to Solve Supply Chain Problems with Microsoft's Ayman HussainDeep Fakes, Copy Bots, and How Artificial Intelligence Will Affect CreatorsHow AI Can Help Freight Brokers Manage Capacity with Lindsay Watt of ParadeA very beginner's look into the MetaverseNFT's, Futurism, and Fascinating Start-Ups with Nasjaq

Why do people get cosmetic surgery? Is the trend increasing? How does this inform, enhance or distort our self-identity? With a special appearance by Dr Gemma Sharp (body image expert from Monash University), we delve into the world of Body Dysmorphic Disorder and explore exactly why Matt (and millions of others) went ‘under the knife'. In this conversation we slammed together two worlds: the founder Australia's largest hair restoration surgery clinic – Mikko Myllymaki, and Dr Ben Buchanan – a clinical psychologist and academic who specialises in Body Dysmorphic Disorder. With mental health experts warning against the surging popularity of cosmetic surgery, and surgeons fighting to give the people what they demand, are these two worlds at war? Or do they rely on each other in the long run?

An interview with Goldberg was shown on last night's Raw, where he said he needs knee surgery following his loss to Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam. But Goldberg also said he's coming after Lashley.

What Will Tomorrow's Freight Broker Do with Ben Buchanan Ben Buchanan and Joe Lynch talk about what tomorrow's freight broker will do. Ben is VP of Account Management at Loadsmart, which is transforming the future of freight, they leverage artificial intelligence, machine learning and strategic partnerships to automate how freight is priced, booked and shipped. About Ben Buchanan Ben Buchanan is VP of Account Management at Loadsmart, leading a team of account managers and sales representatives focused on growing relationships with enterprise and small/medium enterprise shippers by providing additional value to address their unique challenges. Ben has a decade of experience in freight brokerage across various leadership roles, building best-in-class teams for high growth and scalability while delivering for the customer. He earned his logistics stripes at GlobalTranz, learning the business and riding the fast growth wave to impactful leadership positions, and under Buchanan's leadership at Loadsmart the account sales team has grown in headcount by 860% and in revenue by 578% (1H YoY 2020 - 2021). Ben holds a BA in Political Science from Arizona State University and currently sits on the Board of Directors for the American Charter School Foundation. Prior to GlobalTranz he worked as an educator and high school basketball coach. About Loadsmart Transforming the future of freight, Loadsmart leverages artificial intelligence, machine learning and strategic partnerships to automate how freight is priced, booked and shipped. Pairing advanced technologies with deep-seated industry expertise, Loadsmart fuels growth, simplifies operational complexity and bolsters efficiency for carriers and shippers alike. Key Takeaways: What Will Tomorrow's Freight Broker Do Ben Buchanan is the Vice President of Account Management at Loadsmart, a digital freight brokerage that leverages cutting-edge technology and strategic partnerships to help shippers and carriers move more with less. The freight brokerage space is rapidly transforming as digital freight brokerage companies like Loadsmart deploy technology to automate processes, reduce cost per load, and deliver a superior customer experience. In the interview, Ben describes 5 things that freight brokers will be expected to do in the very near future. Of course, some of the industry leaders like Loadsmart are delivering these innovations today. Instantaneous freight quotes created by a dynamic pricing tool that delivers the right price with guaranteed capacity. No more back and forth emails and phone calls haggling over pricing. Dynamic pricing powered by artificial intelligence provides an instant rate that reflects the most updated market intelligence. Mode optimization automatically included in each quote. Mode optimization has traditionally been promised, but not delivered because the analysis was completed by people who didn't have the data or tools. Now, mode options with instantly bookable rates across modes including rail, LTL, PTL, and FTL, enable shippers to optimize shipments based on sustainability, cost, and expediency. Data insights that enable shippers to learn from not just their own data and insights — but from each other. To achieve best in class performance, shippers need to be able to compare their KPIs to their industry peers. Additionally, brokers must be able to analyze shipment data and provide actionable data insights that drive operational improvement across the entire shipping function. Rate transparency that empowers the shipper to know exactly what they are paying for. As digital freight brokers automate and streamline the shipping process that was traditionally managed manually, the value added has changed. In the new model, freight brokers won't be rewarded financially for getting a big spread (cost of truck vs price to shipper). Instead, new pricing models and incentives have evolved that align the shipper and broker. Shift to digital means that freight brokers will need to find new ways to add value to both shippers and carriers. To deliver a superior customer experience, freight brokerages will need to provide the best of tech and the best of people.

Today's episode is about the genetic profile test report for my 4-year-old foster horse, Doc Gunner. We have no history on this horse prior to December of his 3-year-old year. Given that we know nothing about this horse's breeding or history, it was important to me to get as much data as I could so I can more effectively give him the rehab and training he needs to be successful for the rest of his life.   I'm really excited to have two expert guests in the field of genetic testing and equine veterinary medicine, Christa Lafayette, founder and CEO of Etalon Diagnostics, and Dr. Ben Buchanan from the Brazos Valley Equine Hospital. Join us as we review the full genetic report on Doc Gunner and his unusual genetic traits. We'll get answers to some medical questions we've had, and how we'll manage this horse going forward. Plus, we'll talk about his unique temperament and character, how that relates to his performance potential, and how that is evident in his genes.   Show Notes: Follow Doc Gunner's story at Doc Gunner's Training Journal: https://www.facebook.com/watch/102611707180/575448296741249/ Learn more about Etalon Diagnostics: EtalonDiagnostics.com Become a Goodnight Academy member or start a Horsemanship Short Course: JulieGoodnight.com/Join Read Julie's blog post, The Making of a Trail Horse: JulieGoodnight.com/Blog

The proliferation of nuclear weapons during the Cold War in a way served as a deterrent for conflict between nations - the power of these weapons was so overwhelming and the potential consequences of any action so irreversible, it was possible to sustain a long period of détente. But as technology evolved, and micro-aggressions of state-sponsored hacking became the norm, the logic was flipped and we found ourselves with almost no restraint in terms of acts of cyber warfare among nations. Ben Buchanan, a professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service, joins Robert Amsterdam on this episode of Departures to discuss his new book, "The Hacker and the State: Cyber Attacks and the New Normal of Geopolitics." Buchanan argues that we can see just how extensive the hacking wars have gone by examining the details. "If you are looking for scenarios of planes crashing and cities burning, you miss some of the activities that matter most," Buchanan says. "This is a book about the stories that actually happened, the events that have shaped global affairs over the last two decades where nations have hacked one another." Amsterdam and Buchanan discuss how the lack of policies, treaties, and law to regulate cyber warfare have created a Hobbesian chaotic environment in which unpredictable, dangerous, and costly outcomes become more and more likely. "I think every nation of a certain degree of sophistication looks at hacking tools right now, and says I can use these to advance my interests, I don't trust the other side not to use them, and you get into this dog-eat-dog world, in which everyone is continually struggling for advantage in trying to shape the environment, just a little bit every single day, into their favor," Buchanan says. "These events are extraordinary ones, but daily ones."

Our interview with Ben Buchanan begins with his report on how artificial intelligence may influence national and cybersecurity. Ben's quick takes: better for defense than offense, and probably even better for propaganda. The best part, in my view, is Ben's explanation of how to poison the AI that's trying to hack you—and the scary possibility that China is already poisoning Silicon Valley's AI. By popular request, we've revisited a story we skipped last week to do a pretty deep dive on the decision (for now) that Capital One can't claim attorney-client work product privilege in a Mandiant intrusion response report prepared after its breach. Steptoe litigator Charles Michael and I talk about how IR firms and CISOs should respond to the decision, assuming it stands up on appeal. Maury Shenk notes the latest of about a hundred warnings, this time from Christopher Krebs, the director of DHS's cybersecurity agency and the head of Britain's GCHQ, that China's intelligence service—and every other intelligence service on the planet—seem to be targeting COVID-19 research. Maury takes us through the week in internet copyright fights. Ideological copyright enforcement meets the world's dumbest takedown bots as Twitter removes a Trump campaign video tribute to George Floyd due to a copyright claim. The video is still available on Trump's YouTube channel. We puzzle over Instagram's failure to provide a license to users of its embedding API. The announcement could come as an unwelcome surprise to users who believed that embedding images, rather than hosting them directly, provides insulation against copyright claims. Finally, much as I love Brewster Kahle, I'm afraid that Kahle's latest move marks his transition from internet hippie to “holy fool”—and maybe a broke one. His Internet Archive, the online library best known for maintaining the Internet Wayback Machine makes scanned copies of books available to the public on terms that resemble a library's. The setup was arguably legal—and no one was suing—until Kahle decided to let people download more books than his company had paid for. Now he faces an ugly copyright lawsuit. Speaking of ugly lawsuits, Mark MacCarthy and Paul Rosenzweig comment on the Center for Democracy and Technology's complaint that Trump violated tech companies' right to free speech with his executive order on section 230. (Reuters, NYT) I question whether this lawsuit will get far. This Week in Working the Ref: Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg are facing criticism from users, competitors, civil rights organizations for failing to censor the people those groups hate. (Ars Technica, Politico). Meanwhile, Snap scores points by ending promotion of Trump's account after concluding his tweets incited violence. Where is Nate Jones when you need him? He would love this story: A Twitter user sacrificed a Twitter account to show that Trump is treated differently than others by the platform. Of course, the panel notes, that's pretty much what Twitter says it does. In quick hits, I serve notice that no one should be surprised if Justice brings an adtech antitrust suit against Google. The Israeli government announces an attack on its infrastructure so late that the press has already identified and attributed its retaliatory cyberattack on Iran's ports. And somebody pretty good—probably not the Russians, I argue—is targeting industrial firms. Download the 319th Episode (mp3).

Dr Ben Buchanan is a psychologist and Co-founder & Director of NovoPsych, an Australian healthtech company providing software for administering psychological, remote and online questionnaires to patients. As a trained clinical psychologist, Ben is passionate about clinicians evaluating their own practice through the use of routine outcome monitoring, which is why he created NovoPsych. In this episode, Ben explains why outcome measurements should focus on Australian requirements, and how the recent and sudden transformation towards telehealth can be easily adapted to using NovoPsych. Ben provides some guidance on what a telehealth workflow could look like, and how to implement automation with remote symptom monitoring of patients between visits or after treatment.   Key takeaways: In Australia, one of the most widely used assessments to measure mental health outcomes is called the K10 — also known as the ‘Kessler Psychological Distress Scale’. Australia regulations of mental health practitioners require some outcome monitoring to occur. NovoPsych has been tailored to fit the exact purpose that Australian mental health conditions need. Healthcare is a service industry, in which it’s just as important to provide a service that the client is happy with as it is to improve clinical outcomes. One of the number one predictors of treatment success for mental health patients is the ‘therapeutic alliance’, i.e. the relationship between the psychologist and the client. If the client trusts the psychologist then that is a serious predictor of later outcomes. Practitioners often have to rely on their intuition to get a sense about whether the client is benefitting from the treatment. However, the research evidence shows that trained professionals are terrible at using intuition to accurately measure how their clients are going. Within NovoPsych there are therapeutic alliance measures that can tell the psychologist from the get-go whether they're reaching their client or not, so adjustments can be made in the early stages of treatment.   Resources and links: https://novopsych.com.au/   Connect: Listen to other episodes of Reimagining Healthcare Connect with Yianni Serpanos on LinkedIn Follow HealthTechX on LinkedIn Follow HealthTechX on Instagram Follow HealthTechX on Meetup

The attempt of a peace process in Libya is facing several substantial hindrances, where a variety of actors keep on inducing significant upheavals in its territory. Recently Turkey was observed to use Libya more and more as a playing field for its advancements - with some arguing that Turkey is becoming the new Russia on the geopolitical stage. In this week’s podcast Mark Leonard is joined by ECFR policy fellows Asli Aydıntaşbaş, and Tarek Megerisi as well as Nicu Popescu, Director of ECFR´s Wider Europe Program to discuss Turkey’s recent actions and aims in Libya. Is Turkey in Libya mirroring Russia in Syria?

In this episode, I talked with Ben Buchanan (https://gufaculty360.georgetown.edu/s/contact/00336000014U0TKAA0/ben-buchanan) author of The Hacker And The State (https://www.amazon.com/Hacker-State-Attacks-Normal-Geopolitics/dp/0674987551) . We look at Ben's research into 'Shadow Brokers' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shadow_Brokers) , the mysterious hacker group who first appeared in the summer of 2016,  attempting to auction off a treasure trove of previously unknown NSA exploits. We discuss the hackers' tense relationship with the media, possible suspects including Kaspersky Labs, and motivations Shadow Brokers may have had beyond their claims that it was 'all about the Bitcoins'.

Coronavirus lockdown has created different pressures for us all. How is it affecting those in the intellectual property field and how can colleagues and managers best help those in need of support? Our co-hosts Lee Davies and Gwilym Roberts chat with: Andrea Brewster, Chartered Patent Attorney and Lead Executive Officer of IP Inclusive; Ben Buchanan, Deputy Director of Patents at the UK Intellectual Property Office and its diversity and inclusion champion and CIPA's own Fran Bleach, Membership Officer and mental health first aider. They discuss how to maintain team cohesion, the importance of managers showing vulnerability, random acts of kindness and ways to keep people connected. Lee's sex-mad tortoise and the importance of birdsong also come up...

How do Russia and China view cyber operations? How is the American view of cyber operations changing and is it changing fast enough? What do advances in scholarship have to tell us about how and why cyber operations matter? What cocktails do we miss the most? This conversation with Erica Borghard, Ben Buchanan, and Fiona Cunningham has something for everyone.

Ben Buchanan, author of "The Hacker and the State" joins me to discuss his book and waiting for "the big one" in cyber. In short, we are not talking about coronavirus -- just your normal everyday other issues that could bring down the world.

For the 64th episode of NEOHUMAN, Agah is chatting with Ben Buchanan. Ben is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard University’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs. He specializes in the intersection of cybersecurity and... The post 64: Ben Buchanan appeared first on LIVE IN LIMBO.

Ben Buchanan is a professor at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and a scholar on cybersecurity and statecraft. He has a new book out this week: “The Hacker and the State: Cyber Attacks and the New Normal of Geopolitics." Jack Goldsmith sat down with Buchanan to talk about Ben’s new book, about the so-called name-and-shame of Justice Department indictments, and about the various reasons why states engage in offensive cyber operations.

We interview Ben Buchanan about his new book, The Hacker and the State: Cyber Attacks and the New Normal of Geopolitics. This is Ben's second book and second interview on the podcast about international conflict and cyber weapons. It's safe to say that America's strategic posture hasn't improved since his first appearance. We face more adversaries with more tools and a considerably greater appetite for cyber adventurism. Ben recaps some of the stories that were undercovered in the US press when they occurred. The second large attack on Ukraine's grid, for example, was little noticed during the US election of 2016, but it appears more ominous after a recent analysis of the tools used, and perhaps most importantly, those available to the GRU but not used.  In the news, Nick Weaver, Gus Hurwitz, and I take a quick pass at the Internet content regulation problem and Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. I've written that Section 230 needs to be reconsidered, and I predict that the Justice Department, which held a workshop on Section 230 last week, will propose reforms. Gus and I offer two different takes on Facebook's recent white paper about content moderation. Gus is more a fan of Twitter's approach. And Nick reminds us that there are some communities on the Internet whose content causes real harm, including to innocent children. The debate in the US is taking a distinctly European turn, I suggest, which makes Europe's determination to regulate its way to digital innovation a little less implausible than usual. Maury Shenk outlines the very tentative (and almost certainly out of date before it's launched) plan for building a European data lake to foster a European AI and digital economy. Speaking of AI regulation, Elon Musk hasn't given up on his concerns about the technology's risks. But the real action in media circles is attacking fairly simple machine learning tools as used by law enforcement and the justice system. I think the attack is wrongheaded and will either result in abandoning tools that can discipline true outliers. Nick thinks the institutionalization of bias is bad enough that giving up such tools may be the better course. In quick hits, Nick explains how Google's effort to stamp out ad click fraud can generate a secondary form of criminal extortion. Maury explains the latest flap over Australia's encryption law; the tl;dr is that nothing is likely to change soon. Gus makes a down payment on an emerging issue: Whether ISPs can defeat Internet privacy laws that affect them by pleading their First Amendment rights. Nick calls BS on the simplest forms of “anonymization” for credit card data now being sold. I highlight a ransomware attack on a US natural gas operator that actually affected operations and is thus a forerunner of future attacks. Nick reminds us that Julian Assange is in court to stop a US extradition bid. And Europe's data protection advisor is questioning Google's acquisition of Fitbit. Download the 301st Episode (mp3).

Ben Buchanan examines the impact of hacking over the last 20 years and how cyber attacks have become much more overt and common.

In this episode of Intelligence Matters, host Michael Morell speaks with Ben Buchanan, Assistant Teaching Professor at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and Senior Fellow at the University’s Center for Security Studies. Morell and Buchanan discuss the intersection of technology and statecraft, focusing on the potential effect artificial intelligence-driven technologies may have on the geopolitical dynamics among nations. Buchanan reviews some of the central questions surrounding AI, including how autocratic governments and democratic governments may leverage it and how offensive cyber operations may come to rely on it. Buchanan also shares elements of his forthcoming book, The Hacker and the State.

Like in "The Blob," the cybersecurity problem seems to keep growing and harder to see around. An emerging threat comes from artificial intelligence, with its potential to take attacks and countermeasures up many notches. That's what a group called the Center for Security and Emerging Technology at Georgetown University plans to research. The center's director of the cybersecurity and AI project, Ben Buchanan, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin for more details.

For Episode 40 of the Security Studies Podcast I met with Professor Ben Buchanan to discuss Cyber Operations and AI. We start covering Prof. Buchanan's background before diving into Cyber Operations. We discuss the many types of offensive ops - including a quick case study of the Ukrainian power grid hack - and talk defensive ops and the challenges therein. We then discussed the Center for Security and Emerging Technology - a major center for AI research and innovation at Georgetown University, which Prof. Buchanan has helped create. That dovetailed nicely into our discussion on AI and National Security. We covered the basics of AI before going over its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in a national security context. The Security Studies Podcast is produced by Jeffrey Palmer.

The security dilemma is a classic problem in geopolitics: Often when one nation takes measures to protect itself from attack (like adding to their stockpile of missiles), other nations see that and worry it means the first nation is preparing to attack them, which leads to a dangerous feedback loop of escalation. In this episode, Ben Buchanan (postdoctoral fellow at Harvard studying cybersecurity and statecraft) explores how this dilemma plays out in the realm of cybersecurity: Why is the dilemma harder to resolve than it used to be with traditional warfare? And is there anything that might help?

In our 169th episode of the Steptoe Cyberlaw Podcast, Stewart Baker, Benjamin Wittes, Maury Shenk, and Brian Egan discuss: Comey and Trump: the upshot; clarity on 702, with DiFi, the Valley, and Tom Bossert plus all the R’s on SSCI laying out their positions; Qatar flap created by cyberattack?; China will use its cybersecurity law to investigate, naturally, Apple; Speaking of which, native Chinese company Rafotech has something a whole lot more sinister on 250 million machines; Ukraine’s unusual sanctions targeting Russian social media companies.

There are a lot of mobile apps that include the term "psychology" but many of them are just for fun. Are there any really good apps for psychotherapists? Yes there are and one of them is called NovoPsych. In this episode I interview Dr. Ben Buchanan who is the creator of NovoPsych and he tells us how the app would be used in a clinical setting. The first in a series of interview highlighting solid, credible apps that people seriosly interesting in psychology will want to check out.

Revelations over emails are going to be roiling this election season to the very end. This is, in no small part, due to a series of targeted hacks and leaks that cyber-security experts and the U.S. intelligence community have attributed to Russia. In this episode, we address this unprecedented Russian-directed information operations campaign targeting the U.S. presidential election and, indeed, the fundamental legitimacy of the American system of government. From email hacks to electronic voting machines, major vulnerabilities have been exposed and could change how we approach national campaigns forever, not just in the United States but in other democracies as well.  Think I am overstating it? See what you think by the end of this episode. I gathered together an all-star group of experts to help me figure out exactly how this all happened, including Dmitri Alperovitch of Crowdstrike, Ben Buchanan of the Belfer Center, Shane Harris of The Daily Beast, Susan Hennessey of Brookings and Lawfare, Michael Poznansky of the University of Pittsburgh, and Benjamin Wittes of Brookings and Lawfare (who throws down the gauntlet for Sean Hannity). Have a listen!   Ryan Evans is the founder and editor-in-chief of War on the Rocks.

With the increasing frequency, complexity and sophistication of cyber attacks - such as Stuxnet, the Sony Hack - how is attribution done? This podcast is an interview with Ben Buchanan about a paper he recently published with Thomas Rid, Professor of Security Studies at Kings College, London on Attributing Cyber Attacks The paper can be found in the Journal of Strategic Studies. Additional information about the various reports mentioned in the podcast are linked throughout the transcript. This podcast was produced and is hosted by Adriene Lilly.   Adriene Lilly: With the increasing frequency of cyber attacks in the media I think it's worth taking a few minutes to try and understand how attribution is done - how do we find out who is doing it, why, how, and where from.  What exactly is attribution in the cyber context, why do we try to attribute attacks? How is it different than it's offline equivalent in criminal investigations? Where does data and forensic evidence come from? And who – be it the government or private companies – is actually involved in the process of attribution? Today I'm talking to Ben Buchanan.... Ben Buchanan: good to be with you Adriene. So I'm Ben Buchanan, I'm a PHD Candidate at Kings College London. AL: He's recently published a paper with Thomas Rid in the Journal of Strategic Studies called “Attributing Cyber Attacks” their paper attempts to get to the essence of attribution in cyber crime and sets up a model that they hope can help streamline the process. Before we begin though, there are a number of major cyber attacks that have popped up in the media over the past couple of years. So just in case you're like me and may need a refresher, let's start with a few of those stories. Let's begin back in 2010 with the discovery of Stuxnet. Stuxnet was a piece of malware – or malicious software – that is generally cited as being one of the most if not they most sophisticated computer viruses to date. And while no one has officially taken credit for it, best guesses it's a product of the US and Israeli governments. The software was specifically designed to target a uranium enrichment facility in Iran by subtly changing how some of the mechanical structures in the facility operated. Specifically the spinning speed of a number of centrifuges. Stuxnet was designed to sabotage the Iranian nuclear program. It's significant for a number of reasons, but the one that I want to emphasize here is the complexity and sophistication of the operation.. here's Ben.. AL: Ok, now your brought up the centrifuges in Iran so I'm assuming you're talking about Stuxnet.. BB: Sure, so Stuxnet was a long cyber operation against Iranian centrifuges that by some reports involved building a replica of the Iranian nuclear facility and testing the code against this model before it was deployed against Iran. That's an operation that probably cost hundreds of millions of dollars when you consider all the physical expenses. It's believed to have been conduced by the US, likely working in partnership with Israel, and it had the effect of manipulating the centrifuges in a number of ways over a number of years in an attempt to slow down the Iranian nuclear program. AL: Who discovered it and who did it? BB: So the tech side of the operation was discovered by researches who were alerted when a computer in Iran kept restarting for unknown reasons. They looked in the code and they discovered that it was what looked like a cyber weapon against the Iranian nuclear facility. People immediately assumed, or guessed, that it was the US or Israel but there was no concrete proof for quite awhile. And in that case, what is today the most credible attribution of the Stuxnet attack came from a reporter, came from David Sanger at the New York Times who working inside the beltway of sources found out that it was in fact likely a US or Israeli operation and then further reporting seems to indicate that's the case,
