Michael Ashwood was a young detective assigned to help investigate the murder of a neo-Nazi in Sydney. What Michael and his colleagues didn't know was that federal investigators had placed a listening device in the murderer's home. What they heard would make chilling evidence at the murderer's trial. Michael was also involved in the disappearance of Tegan Lane, the child of Keli Lane, who was convicted and imprisoned for Tegan's murder, despite Tegan's body never being found.

Big data is ruling, or at least deeply infiltrating, all of modern existence. Unprecedented capacity for collecting and analyzing large amounts of data have given us a new generation of artificial intelligence models, but also everything from medical procedures to recommendation systems that guide our purchases and romantic lives. I talk with computer scientist Tina Elassi-Rad about how we can sift through all this data, make sure it is deployed in ways that align with our values, and how to deal with the political and social dangers associated with systems that are not always guided by the truth.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/01/13/301-tina-eliassi-rad-on-al-networks-and-epistemic-instability/Tina Eliassi-Rad received her Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Today's book is: Engage in Public Scholarship: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication, by Dr. Alex D. Ketchum. Public scholarship—sharing research with audiences outside of academic settings—has become increasingly necessary to counter the rise of misinformation, fill gaps from cuts to traditional media, and increase the reach of important scholarship. Engaging in these efforts often comes with the risk of harassment and threats—especially for women, people of color, queer communities, and precariously employed workers. Engage in Public Scholarship provides guidance on translating research into inclusive public outreach while ensuring that such efforts are safer and more accessible. Dr. Ketchum discusses practices and planning for a range of educational activities from in-person and online events, conferences, and lectures to publishing and working with the media, social media activity, blogging, and podcasting. Using an intersectional feminist lens, this book offers a concise approach to challenges and benefits of feminist and accessible public scholarship.

Today's book is: Engage in Public Scholarship: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication, by Dr. Alex D. Ketchum. Public scholarship—sharing research with audiences outside of academic settings—has become increasingly necessary to counter the rise of misinformation, fill gaps from cuts to traditional media, and increase the reach of important scholarship. Engaging in these efforts often comes with the risk of harassment and threats—especially for women, people of color, queer communities, and precariously employed workers. Engage in Public Scholarship provides guidance on translating research into inclusive public outreach while ensuring that such efforts are safer and more accessible. Dr. Ketchum discusses practices and planning for a range of educational activities from in-person and online events, conferences, and lectures to publishing and working with the media, social media activity, blogging, and podcasting. Using an intersectional feminist lens, this book offers a concise approach to challenges and benefits of feminist and accessible public scholarship. Our guest is: Dr. Alex Ketchum, who is the Faculty Lecturer of the Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies of McGill University. She is the Director of the Just Feminist Tech and Scholarship Lab. She is the author of Engage in Public Scholarship!: A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication (Concordia University Press, 2022), and Ingredients for Revolution: A History of American Feminist Restaurants, Cafes, and Coffeehouses (2022).

Hear how to refuse to be held back, especially as a woman  I listened to Kerry Flynn Barrett give a marvelous talk recently about burnout for the Westchester Business Council and couldn't wait to share her ideas and insights with our fans. Careers like hers are common among many women I know who have started in a corporate job, moved up the ladder to higher positions in leadership, and then took off to form their own business. Kerry has done just that, and now she is building an exceptional business serving as a fractional CHRO officer and also a business partner and solutions provider. Do you wish to do this too? Listen in! Watch and listen to our conversation here Faced with a wall? Like Kerry, leap over it! In some ways, Kerry Barrett reflects the tensions women in business and corporations are feeling today. Perhaps exaggerated by the pandemic, women are abandoning the corporate ladder to find their own purpose and passion, much like she has done. Kerry spent her entire career in healthcare as a Human Resources executive. She, like so many women, has found that the wave of consolidations taking place these days strips employees, particularly women, of their roles and responsibilities, as centralization moves the decision-making process into other departments. So what do smart women like Kerry do? They craft another pathway and make it work for them. Women today are fleeing dead-end workplaces and starting their own businesses. As you listen to our conversation, think about your own path. Where are you on that corporate ladder? Give serious consideration to what you want to do with your life. As was clearly apparent in the McKinsey “Women in the Workplace 2022” report that came out in October 2022, women are finding the corporate world neither open to their expertise nor accommodating to their talent and ambition. Rather than trying to find a niche, they are leaving rigid workplaces to find others that see them as talented contributors, not women looking for a job. In some ways, many women I know, including myself, have had to confront the limits which corporations offer and discover other avenues where we can contribute, have a personal and professional purpose, and earn an excellent income. Perhaps it is time for business and corporate leaders to see what they are missing and rethink the place of women in their organizations. The women aren't waiting. In fact, they are very smart ladies on their own missions to build better businesses. To connect with Kerry, you can find her on LinkedIn, Twitter, or her website, or email her at kfb@flynnbarrett.com. Want to find a better workplace environment or strike out on your own?

Hi, I'm Andi Simon. I'm your host and your guide. And as I say in every podcast, my job is to get you off the brink. Remember, this all came about after my first book, On the Brink: A Fresh Lens to Take Your Business to New Heights, was published and won an award. And everybody said, How do I get off the brink? And there's no better way to do it than to listen to the speakers on this podcast talk about how you can get better at whatever you're doing to change. Remember, people hate to change. And so our job is to make change your friend, embrace change, and see things through a fresh lens. And I say that because we decide with the eyes and with the heart and how it feels. And then our brains get engaged and you begin to think about it. So today, I'm absolutely delighted to have with me Kerry Flynn Barrett, and let me tell you about Kerry. Kerry gave a talk at the Westchester Business Council not too long ago. And I was just intrigued by her presentation. That topic was on burnout. But what was most interesting was her perspectives that came from a healthcare background, like my own. I did that for seven years in healthcare as an executive. I wasn't a nurse as she was, but I sure understood the feelings that you get when you're working with an organization of over 2500 or 5000 people, all of whom work hard to make your life better. And then she launched her business not long ago to be, of all things, a Chief Human Resource Officer. And she's going to tell you a little bit more about her journey. But the question she's asking is, Are you an organization that understands that people are your most valuable assets? And I must tell you, coming out of the pandemic, people are reaching out to us and asking us what to do because everything's changed. Managing individuals with individual needs and roles is challenging for even the best companies, and managing people is the hardest job, full stop. In fact, we can't get anything done as leaders or managers without followers. And why do people follow you? Are they bystanders? Are they invested in what you're doing? Do they believe in you? Every leader asked me the same question: "How do I get things done through others?" To begin with, how about with others instead of through them? It's an interesting question. Kerry, thank you for joining me today. Kerry Flynn Barrett: Thank you Andi so much for having me. It's such a pleasure. Andi Simon: Well, it was a pleasure to meet you. But let's tell our listeners and our viewers about your own journey. You have a great story to share. Please share it. Kerry Flynn Barrett: Sure. So I believe very strongly in the fact that we are all "a person" from the start. It doesn't mean that's what our journey will be where we began. So I began as a nurse. I have worked in healthcare for so many years. But that doesn't mean that's the only place where my journey was. So I was a nurse, an ICU and emergency department nurse, for over 12 years. And I love doing what I did. But then I switched over to the world of HR. And I worked in that field for 25 or so years, and loved every minute of it, really, truly. It's such a fascinating world. And when you think about it, it's all about working with people, right?, nursing, and HR. It's all about working with people and coming up with different strategies. And as I have said, and what I work in in my practice, I use the nursing process all the time in my practice. So it's all about that process. It's about how we assess what's going on in a scenario. We have to listen, as you said, we have to use our eyes. We also have to use our ears. So that's such an important part of my journey in going from nursing into HR. Three years ago, I started my own practice, Flynn Barrett Consulting, right before the pandemic. So probably all of you are saying, Oh my goodness gracious, how do you start a business and then boom, the pandemic hits. So I have been incredibly lucky. Or just happenstance to be in HR at a time in the pandemic when HR was really needed. So it's been quite the journey and even from the time of starting my business, that business has flowed very differently in the three years of time. So I refer to myself as a fractional chief HR officer. So I help companies with their HR strategy. And I use, as I said, the nursing process in what I do with companies. So,often companies come to me because they are having people problems. As we said, in companies, really the most important asset are their people. And this is such a difficult time in the world right now, with people finding new jobs, leaving their organizations, the great resignation. How many people are just really sick of hearing that term? I'm sick of hearing that term, or the other term, which is quiet quitting. I have employers saying to me, or CEOs saying to me, "How do I know that my employees are not quiet quitting?" Well, you know, this is one of the challenges that a lot of companies are facing. So people's problems are huge right now. So it is a lot of fun working at this time. But equally, there are so many challenges that are out there. And it doesn't mean that there is always the perfect solution for one company or if it is exactly the same solution for that next company. Andi Simon: Well, you know, Kerry, when we were preparing for this, I mentioned that we have several leadership academies. And the topic is around how does one get things done with others? That's the essence of a company. And sometimes people come to me and say, "We have an enormous retention problem. It's our culture, we want to go back to the culture of pre-pandemic." But what was that culture of pre pandemic? I love the Financial Times, my favorite reading in the morning, and its tremendous insights. In France, for example, they insist that you do not work on the weekends. You have your private time. Talking about burnout. And now I think Portugal and Spain have adopted this as well. The hardest part when you're remote working, is: what is the weekend? The weekend? And how do you do it? And then you have a hybrid? And there was great research from McKinsey, I was just reading, where women are perfectly happy not going back. And how are they using the time that they're not commuting? Well, they're doing all kinds of fulfilling things. Remember that work-life balance? Well, it got imbalanced, because now I have time to do life. And so there are real transformations going on. And as you shake your head, yes, our listeners, she's shaking her head. The question is, What are you seeing in your process analysis to help a client listening to think through what would I do now to begin to assess the major questions that are facing us as employers and employees to get our businesses really thriving? Your thoughts? Kerry Flynn Barrett: Well, I will tell you, very often, in this time, right now, employers are saying, Should I bring my employees back full time? That seems to be the top question. And my response is by answering it with a question: Why do you need to bring your employees back full time? And so I think it's important for that analysis to be done as to: Is it important for that particular business. And it does depend upon the business. Obviously, if we're talking about the hospitality business, that's a different story, and the healthcare business. Depending upon the position within the business, it makes a difference. If you're talking about a finance position within healthcare, that's a position that could be remote or hybrid, as opposed to a direct caregiver obviously needing to be in-person. So we need to be looking at this very specifically down to those nitty gritty details to make sense of whether or not we're bringing people back. So that makes a very big difference when we're talking about culture. And when I hear companies say, "Oh, I want to go back to what the culture used to be," or "Employees are being very demanding now," I will say, "Well, tell me what you mean by employees being very demanding?" "Well, my employees are saying that they require that they work hybrid." And so my response is always, "Well, is it something that works for your workplace for them to work hybrid?" "Well, yes, it does." "Well, then if it does, why is it that we're calling those employees demanding? Isn't it something that actually is working? And why aren't we working together as a team on what's best for your organization, rather than having more of an argument about it, and fighting about it?" So it's really fascinating because in my lifetime, I think about these demanding employees and I wish I could have been a little bit more demanding as an employee when I was earlier in my career. I probably would have done way better. But I don't think that in many cases, employees are actually being demanding. I think employers are actually looking at some scenarios, and actually looking at them now with rose colored glasses, but looking at them thoughtfully and saying, Does it really make a difference if I'm doing this work at home or in the office? And I recently actually wrote a blog about this. If in fact, we're bringing employees back to the office, and they're sitting in an office, and they're on Zoom calls in the office, what is the point? That just makes absolutely no sense. So then the employees feel like, "Well, you've really kind of duped me, that is just not really treating me as a professional." So if in fact, you have meaningful work for somebody in the office, and that makes sense, then absolutely. But if you don't, then let's really think about that twice. All in all, sit down with your employees, talk with your employees, listen to what their challenges are. Just listen to them for their ideas because they have great thoughts. That's why you hired them. Otherwise, it's not a great reflection on you if you think that you've hired people who aren't that smart. You hired them because they're smart, and you should listen to them. Andi Simon: I love the conversation where it's about feeling. Two things I want to add. I often preach, being an anthropologist as I am, that words create our worlds. And as I'm listening to you, I can hear the leadership, the C-suite, mimicking others who are all too often men thinking about their stature. And they're mastering being in the C-suite. And that is about demand, and owning and controlling the environment in which people are working. And I find that the most exciting clients I have are the ones who are asking the questions with a real openness to change the words that are creating their worlds, that we know that the challenge for humans is, we live the stories in our minds. And there's nothing more frightening than change because the cortisol is flying around there saying, Oh, fear this. But for those who are leading, pause for a moment and change the story: couldn't you be a leader in the next breed of companies that thrive and thrive? Remember, some of the major companies weren't perfect. For example, in a global company with everyone remote, take a look at what people can do if they aren't in the office. And the gig economy has become a really interesting, flexible workforce for you. But it requires you to change your mind. And don't be a copycat. Think about what it is that you can do and create something new. Because everything is new now. It's not what used to be, right? Kerry Flynn Barrett: That's right. It doesn't mean that just because somebody isn't working in front of you, that they're not working. And productivity can be measured in different ways than tracking someone's computer. Andi Simon: Now, that's a big topic. Are we moving to outcomes evaluation as opposed to punch cards? And time? Are we still in a machine model mode of a workplace? Are we managing minds? And I thought, I've been preaching for many years now that we've moved from managing hands to managing minds. But the mindset of coming back into the office feels like, "I kind of manage that person," as opposed to the product. What do you see? Kerry Flynn Barrett: I'm seeing a little bit of both. I'm seeing a little bit of both, and I think it depends upon the particular leader. I think that unfortunately, sometimes past practice or past performance of someone has created a fear factor. So for example, if a particular leader has had someone really perform poorly in the past, they have unfortunately taken that model and said, "Well, because X person did this, I'm not going to allow anybody else to do it." Instead of saying, "Okay, that person was the anomaly. And I'm going to allow others, who are professionals, to rise above and be able to do it." So unfortunately, I'm seeing some of that. And there's just too much of a fear factor. And I think that's because the threat of the recession is there. And I think there's just some fear of the recession and money. So there's a little bit more of that right now. But I think the more progressive leaders, to your point, are just more comfortable in their own skin, and more comfortable in their own practice. And they are very open to saying to the employees, What works best for you. Unless, of course, it is an environment where it is very dictated by, like a creative environment, where they do need to bring people together, for example. Andi Simon: Then we have the challenge of another generation. I often talk about demography is destiny. And so you have a workplace. I mean, I had one great client, whose board were mostly Boomers, and most of his new hires were all the Gen Ys and some Gen Zs. And they had very different ideas about everything. It was like they were foreign languages, both speaking English, but boy, they didn't understand each other at all. And so now you have that added to the mix. Are you finding that as well? Kerry Flynn Barrett: Absolutely, absolutely. But in addition to that, I don't really discuss that much about the generations as much as I discuss empowered workers, because I find that empowered workers can be of any generation. And I think sometimes those in Gen X and Gen Y are just like Millennials who get a bad rap. And they get kind of stereotyped as being difficult. And I don't necessarily find that to be the case always. And so it is funny, though, that I am seeing a lot of the empowered workers versus the seasoned workers, is what I refer to it as. And so there is somewhat of the seasoned workers who feel that the empowered workers need to go through this rite of passage. "We did this and we had to suffer, so therefore, you're going to have to do that." And I don't know, I don't understand that. Why would want anyone to have to go through something and suffer? Andi Simon: The interesting part is to your point, there's nothing reasonable or rational about it. It's a human symbolic transformation of coming from the outside to become part of us, and we control the space. So therefore, you can't get in unless we let you. But remember that Millennials are 50% of the workforce now. The Boomers, hang on tight, because the changes are coming. And somehow you got to embrace it. Kerry Flynn Barrett: Right. And I have said that to some of the companies that I've worked with: "You can stand there kicking and screaming, or you can accept, listen and learn. It's entirely up to you which way that you go. I could make a suggestion." Andi Simon: I actually had one situation where they gave the new hires the job of mentoring those who had been there a while. In other words, How do we introduce you to them instead of them taking charge of you, and you come in and really educate them as to the things that matter, because you are our future, let's face it, and if we can build it together into a future that will thrive. But there are also things you don't know, maybe those are all changed. I have one great client, and their buyers had all retired and their salespeople were calling their buyers, nobody was buying. And they didn't understand why nobody was answering the phone. And as we did the research, the retirees were replaced by 30-somethings, and they didn't answer the phone. And they weren't going to answer the phone, and they weren't going to buy on the phone and maybe because of one relationship. And it was sort of like, But what are we going to do? I said, I think you're gonna change. So you gotta figure this out. We're gonna have to figure it out. Now, when you spoke at the Westchester Business Council, you spoke about burnout. And I don't want to not discuss that, you had some great insights, because this word, you're telling me, let's not talk about the great resignation. I'm sort of looking around and saying, burnout is self-induced. You know, if in France you don't have to work on the weekend, is anyone telling you to work on the weekends? Or is anyone telling you to work all the time? And so can you share with our listeners and our viewers about your perspective on this thing called burning out? Kerry Flynn Barrett: Sure. So for sure. And some of it is self-inflicted. Some people are just naturally driven people, and they want to get ahead. I understand it, I'm a type A through to the core, always was, probably always will be. In my own business, I made the choice on how it is that I want to do things. So I get to work when I want to work. So I changed the whole structure of how I do it. So I understand it. I think that women have a very, very difficult time, especially those who were young in childbearing years and trying to get ahead in the workplace, who are trying to do everything. And I think that our work community isn't always as supportive of them, as it should be. And I don't know that women are equally as supportive of fellow women as we should be. And I think it is not always allowed or thought to be allowed, because of stigmas for somebody to stand up and say that they just really are burnt, they're just really burnt out and they need a break. I don't think a lot of women feel that they have opportunities to make career changes. I don't think that they think that they can take a break, and be able to come back into the workforce successfully. And so I think those are the types of things that we need to do a better job with. I hope we will do a better job with it. There are some groups that are really helping women with that. But I think that that is something that is a real challenge. And I think it is something that is real. And I think that there are corporations, some corporations are very, very helpful and known to be supportive of women in the workplace. Andi Simon: Well, that's an interesting word. Because whether it's gender bias, or it's understanding that women do have to care for children and what's wrong with that, can't we get a childcare center here to make it easier for them, and actually thinking about women as a whole, as opposed to another worker. And it's an interesting time. I always preach, never waste a crisis. Use the pandemic as an opportunity to think big. You know, the women aren't coming back after the pandemic the way the workplace could use them, right?, with a recession. But they just aren't; they basically are looking for jobs or careers that will allow them to balance in a different fashion. They've discovered they can work from home. And I used to coach women who were executives, and they were taking care of the laundry and cooking dinner and working on a computer and taking care of the kids and working on the computer and taking care of meetings and they didn't miss a beat. But they had life in a very different, very interesting fashion. And they said to me, "You know, this is really cool, I can get life done and also work." And I went, Oh, there's some kernels of real interesting stuff. Was it hard? Yes. But life is, unless you're going to be a stay-at-home mom. And that's hard. There isn't a thing, "easy," right? And I used to laugh. People would say, "I have to balance life and work." I said, "Isn't work life? And Isn't life work?" I mean, through words we do create our worlds. So you know, you have a challenging time of it. But as you guys were talking about burnout, there was this sense that if it's not in our hands, and we can't control it, it isn't really in the boss's hands either. And I've heard too many places who have said to their management don't talk about behavioral health, emotional well-being, it's not appropriate for us to talk about. I don't want to talk about it, and I'm saying to myself, Well, maybe it's not a bad time to put it in part of the discussion. Because, you know, 30% of Americans are depressed. And that's not just those who are unhealthy; way more, way more. And you can't simply all deal with it with a pill. So life has become challenging. It's never been easy. But I do think it's an interesting time to really rethink women in the workplace in a way that can be exciting and exhilarating, instead of painful, and why not? 60% of the college graduates are women, they're all smart. They're all looking for good opportunities. So as you're looking ahead, anything coming into your future or ours that we could share? Kerry Flynn Barrett: I do have to say this, Andi, just to go backwards a little bit. 30 years ago, I had a boss who told me that when I walked through the doors, I needed to park my life outside the door, when I walked in. And I had a 6-week old child. I told him that there was absolutely no way that I could ever possibly park my life outside the door. Okay, that was just not humanly possible for me as a thinking, breathing person to do that in order to be able to do my job. And he said, and I learned more from him, and I say this to this day, on what never to do as a boss. During the pandemic, there was a woman I knew who is a C-suite person and her 4-year-old was climbing over her, she was on a Zoom call. And all the other C-suite individuals were men. And she was criticized afterwards by her boss, because of the fact that her child was climbing on her. And she did the same work, just like everybody else. And it was not a problem. And she said to them, she said, "You do realize all of your wives probably were taking care of your children? And my husband was on his business call. And I didn't skip a beat on that call." So why is it that we criticize our women who are doing this? Totally unacceptable. So we have to do a better job. Andi Simon: Did they say anything to her? Or was it just simply her trying to establish the credibility? I mean, I couldn't agree with you and her more. But the attitude was, you know, don't mix that. I mean, "I didn't miss a beat on my call, I perform for you." Kerry Flynn Barrett: I met her boss and he said something to her afterwards that it was inappropriate for her to have her child in the call. So what's going forward? I think that we can do a much better job: for men, for women, for everyone, for transgender, for every single person in the workplace. I think we can be incredibly inclusive. I think that we could do a better job with just general equity. Just hearing about wage equity, thinking about that this morning. What's going on? November 1st is here tomorrow. New York City and Westchester County declaring wage equity. Thank goodness we're doing this. I think it's important for people to know that they have choices in the workplace. And then they should speak their mind. And if the workplace doesn't accept that, then maybe it's just not the right workplace for them. And there are people out there who will help them to find another workplace. So I think that's very important for people to know. Andi Simon: And the times, they are a-changing, like Bob Dylan told us. But I think that we can't go backwards. And when people say the pandemic put women back 30 years, it breaks my heart, but we can't let it happen and we must vote. And mostly for business's sake, our economy depends upon vibrant businesses, and women leading companies are doing amazing jobs. And it's a time for change. So let's embrace change and make it our friend, and see how great things can be. Kerry, one or two things you don't want the listeners to forget. Kerry Flynn Barrett: I just don't want people to stop listening. I mean, I think it's just the most important thing. And to stop and listen, to put your phone down. Don't be looking at your phone while you're listening. Whether or not it's your child, your husband, your employee, whatever it is, I really say to listen. I think that is the one thing that you could do for your employees. That's so important. And every single employee deserves 10 minutes of your time, whether or not it's once a week, once every two weeks. I think that is absolutely critical. And if you tell me you don't have time for that, then you and I could really talk, and we could talk about how you could better use your time that would help you so that you can find that 10 minutes of time. Andi Simon: And to add to that, that when you listen, try and stay focused on what they are saying, not what you're thinking, because our minds are trying to take the words they're saying and make sense out of them in the story that we have in our mind, not really what you're hearing. And I'll only tell you how many times in our careers, it wasn't what they said, it's what we heard. And it had nothing to do with what they meant. And that is ask questions to clarify. Kerry Flynn Barrett: Make sure you really understand. Andi Simon: And that means you cannot have your cell phone sitting there or your computer in front of you. This has been such fun. If they want to reach you, where could they do that, Kerry? Kerry Flynn Barrett: Oh, very simply, I'm on LinkedIn. My email is KFB so, easy to find me KFB@Flynnbarrett.com. I have my own website. It's www.Flynnbarrett.com. And please reach out to me on my website. And you can just send a quick question or an inquiry. I look forward to hearing from anybody. Andi Simon: If you want a very smart fractional Chief Human Resource Officer, or just a very sharp coach, or someone who can help you see, feel and think in new ways, meet Kerry Flynn Barrett, because she's here to help you do just what we love to do, which is to change and the times they are changing. And so for all of our listeners, thank you for coming. It's always so much fun to share with you smart people who are really here to help you do what I love: to see and feel and think in new ways. And remember, we're here to help your organization adapt to these fast changing times. Stay with us. Stay tuned and listen to some of the webinars and speeches that I have posted on our website. We're talking all the time about how to make change and how to embrace change, and particularly how to rethink women in the workplace. And on that note, I'll say have a great day. Remember our theme is take observation and turn it into innovation. I hope you've had a great day today. Bye bye now.

And we hope that you will enjoy us this week, we have a kind of a really interesting person, kind of she absolutely is an interesting person and some good stories to tell. And I'm sure we're going to have a lot of fun in our discussions. Today we'll talk about AI, we're going to talk about a lot of things related to health care and disabilities and other things. So I'd like you all to meet Lisa v. And I assume you want me to refer to you that way.   Lisa Thee  01:54 Yes, that's great. Hi, everyone. My name is Lisa Thi and I am the data for good practice sector lead at launch Consulting Group.   Michael Hingson  02:04 And so why don't you tell us a little bit about kind of you younger and bring us up to date and how you got where you are today.   Lisa Thee  02:14 Yeah, I grew up in the Midwest. And kind of what people might consider the dress, the Rust Belt these days of Detroit, and studied engineering in school, and came out west to California after graduation and worked in the tech industry for 18 years before I retired as a director at Intel, and their hybrid cloud group and went off to do my own company for as AI software startup, called minor guard and have been working in the entrepreneurship innovation space, in consulting, Keynote, speaking and advising for the past few years now.   Michael Hingson  02:53 So what did you exactly do it Intel?   Lisa Thee  02:56 Oh, goodness, and also one of those awesome places where you get to try a lot of things. So in the decade that I worked there, I worked in different groups, from supply chain planning, to marketing to it to business development, and ultimately leading their AI solution group working on new applications for AI to improve things in society.   Michael Hingson  03:18 So Intel being very much a chip manufacturer and so on. How does AI get into that in terms of why why did they do that?   Lisa Thee  03:29 Yeah. So when you have a chip manufacturing company, the way that you increase your available market is to increase increased consumption of compute. So that could be through cloud providers that could be through personal computers, it can be through gaming, lots of different applications. So one of the ways that AI really benefits Intel as a company is by increasing utilization and solving bigger and hear your problems. So whether you're buying compute space in Google, or Amazon, or Microsoft, all of those, all those roads lead back to Intel, because they're providing the chips for the cloud infrastructure.   Michael Hingson  04:07 So at some point, maybe we'll find a significant amount of AI on chips. And of course, you've got people like Ray Kurzweil who talk about the singularity, and discuss the time when, well, what we're calling AI or computer intelligence, and human intelligence, Mary and M become all part of the same brain.   Lisa Thee  04:28 Absolutely. And in fact, it was hard to wear enabled AI solutions that launched me from being a corporate citizen, to an entrepreneur in my 40s when the iPhone 10 launched, I got a call from a colleague of mine from Apple, and he shared with me that he was no longer under NDA. And he thought we could do a lot in terms of prevention of child abuse online by identifying issues on the chip itself on the phone before they got saved to the cloud. And so that's what launched our company minor guard where we go Because on improving online safety for kids, online and in real life together by leveraging AI and nudity detection, to make sure that they weren't making 30 site decisions that were ruining the rest of their lives.   Michael Hingson  05:15 So I'd love to learn more about that. What? What did you all create? And what how does it work? And what does it do?   Lisa Thee  05:22 Yeah, so today, our technology inspired some of the changes that Apple made and iOS, when we started our journey, it took 130 unique decisions to block your child from taking a nudey kitty photo, that is illegal content and technically a felony. Today, it only takes a single choice, if you have a family iOS account, and you identify your child is using that device. So we help them to see the opportunity to really focus on safety in a way that was frictionless and allowed kids to be kids and make mistakes, but hopefully not the kinds of mistakes that will follow them for decades to come.   Michael Hingson  06:04 How does AI enter into that? I mean, if you would think I can just push a button and my child won't be able to access the site anymore. Where do they I get into that?   Lisa Thee  06:15 Yeah, so most apps today are end to end encrypted. So there's not a lot of visibility on the device, once you're in App if you're on a tic tac, or you're on a Snapchat or any of those popular social apps. And so we knew we needed to do it at a device level. Because once it was in the app and software, there was no way to make sure what what was happening. So when Apple you got to the generation with the iPhone 10. And beyond, they had an AI accelerator chip in the phone that allowed for facial recognition to unlock the phone. And by having that AI accelerator on the device that opened up the window to be able to do some detection on the device before you saved, saved it to the cloud. To make sure that before it got into an encrypted vault, you can make sure that a child isn't doing something that's illegal, and will possibly honeypot them for perpetrators.   Michael Hingson  07:08 So what does so let's say somebody takes a kiddie porn picture. What does ai do?   Lisa Thee  07:17 It identifies that the device is registered to a child through iOS, and identifies that image is explicit, and it blocks that image from ever being saved to the device. And secondly, to check what somebody sends them, it's going to prevent your child from taking their own content, because we learned through the process of working through this challenge with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children who is the nationwide clearinghouse for all reports of child sexual abuse material online. For tech companies, the public and law enforcement, that 40% of these images are actually taken by children themselves. They're often groomed or influenced by others to make a bad choice. And they don't really realize the stakes that they're entering when they move from being a regular kid to being somebody that has now created and distributed Child Sexual Abuse material, which is a felony.   Michael Hingson  08:15 And we're making any kind of progress on going the other way, which is people sending pictures to a child.   Lisa Thee  08:22 Yes, I think safety, that is harder. It is. So in my day job, I work with some of the leading thought leaders at the big tech companies in this space. I think there's a very large desire to make sure that the policy groups and the legal teams that are setting the terms of service to align with all the regulations internationally, have better tools were the operators that are trying to moderate that content, to be able to identify it and get it off of platforms. It is definitely a threat to every business owner to be hosting illegal content. I don't think anybody wants it there. It's an industry wide challenge. But unfortunately, criminals don't usually play by the rules, they intentionally find the places where they can break them. And so that's where I think AI comes in as a great complement to the humans, where AI can do what it does particularly well with just pattern recognition, tactical reordering of things to make it easier to process extremely large volumes of data. And make sure that the right things are in front of the moderators at the right time to get the most egregious acts off of the internet as fast as possible.   Michael Hingson  09:30 So they're they're always pictures and things like that. But what about bullying and those sorts of things where it's perhaps a lot more textual and so on, does aI have yet any real influence on dealing with that kind of situation bullying and such?   Lisa Thee  09:46 Absolutely as as much advancement as we saw on the video and photo side of AI. In the last 10 years, there's a whole new renaissance around natural language processing speeds typically around being able to use AI to detect things in context. So one of the companies that I advice for that I'm really passionate about is spectrum labs, because they are taking over 40 international languages and being able to apply models that are uniquely trained to identify 40 Different abuse types. So whether that be cyber bullying, whether that be Daxing, whether that be human trafficking, they can pick up the signals in the noise, and help moderators to take action on accounts that are problematic and creating harm across the platforms. So I'm really excited about their tech because I've been under the hood of most of these solutions. And I do know that they're able to do things in multi language that are unprecedented. And so that's why I chose to back behind them. I also have some experience working at a business to consumer products called bark technologies. And bark is really focused on parents being able to moderate their own children's communications on social media applications, I know that when mine get old enough, I will definitely be using their product. Because there is a big difference between somebody saying, I just tripped in front of that girl, I like I want to kill myself, and my life is meaningless. I want to kill myself, and having AI help bring the right alert at the right time can change the trajectory of a person's life. And I've seen that many times over. Because it's really connection and humans that help to intervene when things get dark. It's not going to be technology, but sometimes you don't know until you get an alert that they need special attention.   Michael Hingson  11:44 Course Gaia, somebody trips in front of a girl that he really likes, what we need to do is to send a message saying you got to call this guy he's really embarrassed.   Lisa Thee  11:55 Yeah, that one is recoverable. But when you are mentioning things like time, and your conflict that we know that they're significantly more likely to take action on that feeling, because they've been researching how to do it. And so you know, I am, I am definitely somebody who learned a lot of mistakes the hard way through hard knocks. And I'm grateful that I grew up in a generation where you could make a lot of mistakes, and it wasn't in the public domain for the rest of your lives. But unfortunately, for this generation, that's just not the case. And so they do a lot more typing than talking. And so when you can use technology to that, and especially AI to make sure that you can give them as much privacy as humanly possible. Well, getting the signal from the noise of something is really going from an affordable mistake to a life altering one. I'm really passionate about that. So I think Burke on the consumer side spectrum on the business side are really the leading folks that I see that can really help with this problem.   Michael Hingson  12:53 I think you bring up a really interesting issue, which is, as you said, there's a lot more typing than talking today, and I go back generations before you. And I remember growing up, I'm sure I was an oddity, but I wasn't really bullied, we didn't have internet at all, in the time that I was growing up. And I don't I don't think that we had nearly as much bullying as is appeared later. Or at least if we did, it wasn't talked about very much. And there was no social media. But But you are right people type today a whole lot more. How do we get people back to interacting with each other? I read an article, I think last year in the New York Times about the art of conversation has has died or is is not much in existence anymore. And that was all at that time discussing how politicians were treating things, but still, it also involved how they were treating and how other people started treating each other and not conversing, not talking and not sharing ideas and trying to find commonality. How do we deal with that?   Lisa Thee  14:11 It's a really good question. I wish I I wish I knew the full answer, there's a few things that come to mind. The first is that empathy is a very slow dobro skill that requires a lot of face to face communication. And in a lot of cases, this generation just isn't having as much opportunity to see the impact of their words, and how they can affect other people. So I think it allows them under the veil of anonymity online to speak to people in ways they wouldn't in real life. And I think that extends to adults as well. So I think a lot of it is really seeing the impact of your words and connecting back with that humanity piece. And the second piece I wanted to mention was really around the areas of cyber bullying and what does that like versus maybe what some of us who are in older generations experienced bullying is not new. No I do think that the 24 by seven never able to get away from it is. So you may 20 years ago, when I was graduating from college, you, you may have had a bad experience. And people may have been really mean to you when you're at school, for example, but you could come back to your apartment and just be separated from it, and have a little bit of a break and a respite and to be around people that were maybe more positive in your life, maybe that's your family, and maybe it's your friends. But you could you could get a break from it. Today's generations, they are scared to go to sleep, because they want to know what's being said about them at two in the morning. And I can relate in a small way. I mean, when I made a mistake, when I make a mistake at work, for example. I know I'm looking for that email from my manager or my client saying that it's okay. And we'll be alright. And this is how we're going to fix it. And when I have, I don't have that reassurance or that connection that it's going to be okay, and people are bombarding me with messages about what a problem this is. Now, I certainly feel anxious, I don't think there's any solution for that human condition. So I actually have a lot of empathy for growing up these days, they don't have a lot of room to make mistakes and, and grow from them. And realistically, I don't think humans are much different than computers, they learn much more from their mistakes on their successes. And that's how we advance AI is all the failures. And I think that's how humans learn as well.   Michael Hingson  16:34 Well, I think that's right. It's not just you learn from your failures in ai, ai, you learn from your challenges, your failures, as you said, much more than your successes in real life, just because the mistakes and the frustrations stay with your consciousness longer. Oh, I did that really? Well. Great. And then you move on, oh, my gosh, I screwed up. What? What is that going to do to me, and it's not anything new to have those kinds of feelings. But we do have today, such a much easier advice environment, on the parts of so many of us to ignore dealing with it, like you said, you wait for that email, and somebody doesn't take the time to say it to you to send you the email because they're off now doing other things. Whereas in the past, things were done much more face to face.   Lisa Thee  17:28 Yeah, you have much more real time feedback. And yet, you didn't have an eyes on culture, like work ended at a certain time. And I think there's been a lot of studies post pandemic that as we've shifted to a more virtual work environment, people aren't really having a hard time guarding their time at both ends of the day. Now in a way that wasn't as big of a problem when we had commutes. And when we had a lot more face time.   Michael Hingson  17:52 I have heard many times the joke about people, kids in the back of of cars, parents are driving in two kids sitting next to each other. And they're texting back and forth rather than talking. And I've actually seen that I've been in vehicles where they do that. And to me, it's just hard to fathom. Why don't you just talk to each other?   Lisa Thee  18:15 Privacy? They don't want the adults to hear it. Right? Yeah, that's true. Yeah. When you, when you put yourselves in the shoes of a digital native, they just they've had so much more access to information than we did so much younger, they have a lot more complexities to manage through in terms of social structures and growing up, and everything's public. So I can understand wanting to keep something between a couple of people because it's not so easy to do anywhere else in their lives.   Michael Hingson  18:47 Right. The other side of it is that I think to some degree in the past, when a family was in a car, and people were sort of forced to talk to each other, it did help invoke a better and higher level of trust than just keeping things private. Oh, I don't want them to know, because I can't trust them. So we've we've lost some of that trust that we used to have, it seems to me, I may be misinterpreting. But that's kind of what it seems.   Lisa Thee  19:16 Yeah. For me, what I've observed is we're making trust a problem for families and consumers and individuals versus looking at it at a societal and platform level. And I'm really hopeful as we come out of 2022 that we start to get more regulation around was expected from platforms to keep kids and families safer. I don't think this should be a consumer problem. I think this is a legacy of, you know, the growth of social and mobile and cloud that we've seen over the last 20 years. When we looked at regulating this industry 20 years ago. We just couldn't have envisioned the law So we live today. And you know, going into this whole Metaverse of web app three dot O generation, I think we have a lot more people online, we have a lot more opportunities for harm, as they're interacting with each other as building community has gotten so much easier. And it's time for us to be thinking through policies like we do with cybersecurity. On the digital safety side, that's where I'd like to see trust grow by having a level playing field for all the innovative startups all the way through to the large, multinational corporations. What we all agree is just off limits. I think today, there's just too much gray zone,   Michael Hingson  20:39 it seems to me that a lot of that is going to have to be done within the industry, because the politicians are so divided. They won't agree or do anything with it you had for four years, one party in power, who was just from their political stance against regulation doesn't matter what it is. And now we have a different party in power. But still, the people who don't want regulation or who say they don't want regulation, that's part of the interesting thing. It seems to be part of the time, what we're seeing are people just oppose each other just to oppose each other, rather than dealing with doing the right thing.   Lisa Thee  21:20 Yeah, for me, what I can say about this is I don't usually get the call until it got pretty bad. And trust me, the things that I get involved in, these are not tweener situations, right when the victim is six, or under which by the way, 56% of victims of child sexual abuse material are whose privacy is more important, the adult that's trying to consume that for entertainment value, or the crime scene victim who's having their images consumed for the pleasure of adults, I think the privacy in the regulation needs to fall a lot more on protecting our legacy and our next generations and protecting people's rights. And if people really understood the level of severity of what's being searched for and how an invasive the technology has to do it, it's very lightweight, just like a spam filter, I think there would be a lot less opposed to regulations. I think I wish that we could get better at helping people understand that if you really want privacy fully, you need to make sure that you turn off all of your spam filters to right like we're willing to make trade offs for privacy to not get attacked by criminals. Why would children not deserve the right to be able to use very labor? Wait hash matching technology that is not invasive? It's not going through your emails, personally, it's looking for picture matches for reported crimes, things like that. without even opening your stuff. I think if people really understood what we were talking about at that level, there would be a lot less gerrymandering happening in politics.   Michael Hingson  22:56 How do we deal with that? How do we make that happen? How do we get people to understand? And I guess that's really getting back to the whole issue of we're so polarized today. How do we break this logjam?   Lisa Thee  23:09 I would love to say that I have an answer. In 2021, I did a TED talk on the topic and started a petition to try to get some of the Department of Justice recommendations into the regulatory bodies for communication Decency Act 230 revisions, they, they did interviews with industry leaders and advocates for victims and the NGOs that do best in breed and came up with some very comprehensive and very rational guardrails that we could be adhering to. And I really hope that as Europe and the US are looking at some of these new bills, we don't get pulled to the to either side of all the things we disagree about, but we've had something we can all come together on. Unfortunately, I don't think that that helps people get reelected by being agreeable. So we'd love to see more pressure from people writing to their local representatives that they expect movement on this. And if you want to learn more about the bill that the petition and support that it's on my website, Lisa v.com/ted. Talk.   Michael Hingson  24:27 th, Lisa v th e,   Lisa Thee  24:30 right. Yes. And I I've been working with my California representatives to try to get some legislation brought forward because this is far overdue. We're gambling with things that are just the stakes are too high for kids.   Michael Hingson  24:47 Is the industry moving toward doing more to truly and not only intellectually but emotionally regulating itself on this It doesn't have to be left to the politics to do it and the politicians to do it.   Lisa Thee  25:04 I think that anytime you need to clean up technical debt and be looking for criminals abusing your systems, there has to be some kind of incentive or policy in place to make sure that you get the appropriate amount of funding. I have never met anybody that works in the industry, whether it be at Google or Microsoft, or all the other places that doesn't do this work, because they care. There's a lot easier ways to make a paycheck with a data science background, trust me. But unfortunately, a lot of times the boards in the C suite executives don't fully understand what it takes to do this, right. And it's grossly underfunded. So I think regulation will be the place where it allows them to make better trade offs for shareholders and better trade offs for their leadership to understand why the investment is absolutely mandated. And I think the other challenge you get into so you get a lot of hero complexes here and you get people that will just work themselves to the absolute core like to the bone. And it's because how do you ever measure someone else's suffering against your own? I gave myself PTSD, in 2017, from working every night, every weekend, on morphine drips in the hospital after injuries, because I had a really hard time turning it off, when you know, what's really going on. And I think that's why regulation really matters. We need to make this everyone's priority, that actually gets done. And I think we wouldn't see privacy and cybersecurity come to the forefront for a long time until regulation GDPR allowed people to make those investments, I think we're gonna have to see something similar in the digital safety front to help companies come along. I don't think there's a lack of talented smart people that can innovate and do what needs to be done. But there needs to be an impetus to act. And that's going to come from regulatory bodies.   Michael Hingson  27:08 We live in an era where it's not new, but people say, Well, we've got to do what we do. And we're all about just getting money for the shareholders. And personally, I understand why people say that. But companies were also originally formed many times from an entrepreneurial standpoint, to do something good. But we lose that along the way. And we get to the point of well, we're just all about making money for our stockholders.   Lisa Thee  27:39 I think this one is a little bit trickier. I think there's a lot of unintended consequences going on. When you build a platform to connect the world and have all these visions and wonderful ways it can happen, you're probably not thinking about the creepy guy in Estonia, that's going to start targeting sixth grade girls and Columbus, Ohio. When the nefarious actors typically are, innovate faster than these companies can keep up with. In terms of the ways they're misapplying their technology. So I think a lot of it's going to always be a balance of pushing a ball. I do think that the same way that privacy has really gotten much more regulated, I think we're gonna see online safety going that direction as well. And looking forward to that day, I don't anticipate by the time that Gen Z is parenting, that they're going to have the same struggles that I do with a nine year old and a 10 year old in the world. And I look forward to that, because they've grown up with this stuff. And they know how people use it. And they're not naive. I think right now we have a huge education gap, with our lawmakers, with our citizens, on really the ways that people are taking advantage of access to young people.   Michael Hingson  28:59 The kinds of things you're saying, to me, it seems, are things I've heard before. So what I'm saying is, I don't think they're necessarily new. So I think there's a little bit more to it, then people are just totally uneducated or uneducated. We're also not seeing the will to change and you're right with the Gen Z environment. hopefully over time, the these kids growing up, will recognize that we've got to change the world. But I hope that it happens before then because it's not like the concepts are new. It's more that we're not yet emotionally accepting it as such a reality in all of our lives unless we're specifically hit by it with a with a specific or concrete example for our child.   Lisa Thee  29:53 I have to have some tough talks with friends and family at least a couple of times a year and it's usually the somebody comes to me because something's happening in their family with one of their kids on safety. And I tell them what I know and what they can do. And then oftentimes, they don't want to do that, because it's a lot of work and who the heck has extra time for anything right now, or they don't want to make their child feel like their privacy is being invaded or a whole host of reasons. And then I get a call six to nine months later with law enforcement involved when people are missing when you know, things have gotten really off the rails. And I got to the place where I had to tell people look, I am happy to help you. If you are willing to take multiple hours to get things set up properly. And if you're not willing to commit that in the next 48 hours, I can't help you. Because I can't sit here and just wait to watch the train wreck. And I think that that's where the policy piece comes in where platforms have to design in safety by design. And parents don't need to be investing hours and hours and hours to set things up properly. Because frankly, I have an engineering degree, I founded an AI startup, I consult for some of the biggest thought leaders in this area. I don't know how to set their crap up. I don't I don't think this should be a consumer problem.   Michael Hingson  31:16 Oh, I hear you. And that's what I'm getting at. It's not like this information is new. And it's not like these people don't have the the industry doesn't have access to the information, and probably has heard it. But they under strict   Lisa Thee  31:32 chair, they don't lose market share. If they don't do it. That's the problem. We vote with our feet.   Michael Hingson  31:37 Yeah, that's that's the problem, we're still back to. It doesn't matter how important it is to do. From a reality standpoint, emotionally and intellectually. We're not there yet.   Lisa Thee  31:50 I mean, I tried to hold myself to a different standard, because I do have more access to information. And frankly, nothing the Facebook whistleblower service is new to me, but it to her being, you know, testifying to Congress before it kicked my Facebook habit, again, for like the fourth or fifth time. It's hard to stay away from some of these platforms, because they are a way for us to connect. They are a way for us to educate ourselves. They're fun. And I think if adults have a hard time staying away from things that aren't necessarily good for them, I think we have no right to expect the next generation to do better.   Michael Hingson  32:28 Not until they get older and hopefully become wiser.   Lisa Thee  32:31 I mean, your brain doesn't develop to anticipate long term impacts of your decisions fully until you're 24 years old. What are we expecting out of 1415 year olds? It's nonsense.   Michael Hingson  32:42 Yeah, much less six year olds?   Lisa Thee  32:44 Absolutely. No question. The age of my first phone, globally is estimated to be 10 years old these days. first smartphone,   Michael Hingson  32:52 I like actually, I got my first iPhone in 2009. It was the iPhone three, three, 3g. And so we've been using them ever since. And they're a wonderful tool. That's also part of it is that we've got to recognize it's a tool. But we also need to develop in our own minds much less in a regulatory way. What it really means to be able to positively use the tool and cut out some of the negative stuff. And it is just so easy to do that today to have all the negative stuff. It's so frustrating.   Lisa Thee  33:28 It is I think we'll continue to improve and innovate. I think there's too much more awareness of what really can happen. I think that some some of the places where I'm seeing a lot of innovation in terms of regulation and safety by design are coming out of places like Australia, huge superfan of the Safety Commissioner over there. Julie and Julie came from the tech industry and kind of knows where some of the popples are, and is starting to bring regulation that really can bring us forward in terms of hate speech in terms of cyber bullying in terms of protecting children. So I I feel like we will get there. I just wish we have gotten there already. I'm impatient at this point. I've been working in this field since 2015. And I'm ready to see some real movement   Michael Hingson  34:21 Yeah, it's it's got to be very frustrating for you because you're very close to it and you have children of your own and all you can do is do your best to bring them up and teach them how to make the right decisions and hopefully they'll do that but it is easy to to make a mistake and there's such a fine line today.   Lisa Thee  34:38 And it's not the parents negligence, it's we're not You're not set up to win. And even if you keep your kid off of it, they go to school and totally on unsupervised and have older siblings that you know it. We need. We need help. We need help.   Michael Hingson  35:03 Personally, I'm gonna start to worry when I get an email from someone that says that your dog just complained on Facebook that you weren't giving him enough bones, then I'm gonna worry.   Lisa Thee  35:14 There you go. I think AI to translate animal language would be a very interesting application, I only has to say about me,   Michael Hingson  35:25 it would be a whale out but not too many negative things. I think that there's a lot more positivity going on than we think. But they're very strategic. Some of these dogs are very intelligent. We had we had a dog. She was a breeder for Guide Dogs for the Blind. One day she was on the bed chewing on a bone but the bone kept slipping. Do you know what do you know what a doughnut is? I'm not sure I do. It's a it's a rubber doughnut. Very tough. It's really hard to to chew up. And in fact, I think they come with a warranty that if your dog happens to do it, which is very rare. They'll replace it for free. But it's it looks like a doughnut. Well, anyway, so our dog Fantasia was chewing on this bone and kept slipping away. She just deliberately left the bone on the bed, jumped down, went and grabbed a doughnut brought it back up on the bed. But she then picked up the bone, put the bone in the hole of the go nuts, so she could chew it and it wouldn't slide around. tool users tool users all the way   Lisa Thee  36:30 up. Absolutely. I also love their attunement. I feel like my dog knows the emotions and feelings of everybody in the family and knows who needs to snuggle and who needs a lick and who needs cuddle. At all times. They're they're really wonderful complements to our lives.   Michael Hingson  36:46 My fourth guide dog was named Linnaeus, she was a yellow lab. We were at a party and I, I took the harness off because everyone knew Lynnie. And so we let Lynnae wander around and visit people. And our pastor was there. She came up and she said, You know, it's interesting, Lynnae clearly is empathic and intuitive. She goes to the first person who's the most in pain, and then she'll visit the rest of the crowd. And you know, she said I don't mean physical pain. And when we started observing Lynnie that was absolutely true. And because Sheree had seen her at several parties, and so new Lynnie well, but it's absolutely true. They do have a lot of empathy and they know what's going on. You know, I've talked about that with me and the World Trade Center. The decisions that I made on September 11 came in large part because of what I saw Roselle doing and not doing. Because I've been working with dogs so long, Roselle there was a colleague who started shouting, there was fire and smoke above us. And there were millions of pieces of paper falling outside the window, and I could hear the stuff falling by the window, but I didn't know what it was at the time. But you know, David said millions of pieces of burning paper, I believed him. But with all of that Roselle is just sitting next to me wagging your tail going woke me up. i What are we doing here? And so that told me that whatever was going on wasn't such an imminent issue for her that she was even the slightest bit nervous.   Lisa Thee  38:22 Interesting, and then forgive my lack of awareness. How did you proceed out of that building with her guidance   Michael Hingson  38:30 downstairs. I mean, that was the only way to go. I was the Mid Atlantic region Sales Manager for Quantum. So I ran that office, and I spent a lot of time learning about emergency preparedness, what to do in emergencies and so on. And part of that actually led to why we're calling the podcast unstoppable mindset, because what I actually develop that day was a mindset. Well, not that day, but before that day of what to do if there's an emergency. And I really got to the point of knowing that whatever happened, if there were ever an emergency, I was as prepared as I could be, to deal with it. Now, of course, there are things that could have happened, that would have changed all of that, like the building just collapsed, and in which case, we wouldn't be here. But it was truly all about developing a mindset. And I think that gets back to what you're talking about here. We've got to change our mindset. And that's what what I did on the days before in the months before September 11th was develop that mindset. So I always observe what my guide dogs are doing anyway. And so it was a natural part of things to go oh Roselle is not acting nervous at all. So I believed everything that David said about what he was seeing paper falling burning paper falling fire above us and so on. But whatever was happening was in such an imminent issue, that we had to panic and just run out of the office, which wouldn't have done any good anyway.   Lisa Thee  39:58 Wow. Wow. Yeah, and I think that's exactly a great lead in to some of the things that I learned about in digital safety for the other folks that are maybe listening to this and a little bit nervous about what their kids are doing online, after hearing me, and that is, you know, teach your kids to do emergency drills, we teach them for tornadoes, we teach them for fires, we teach them for all sorts of natural disasters, that oftentimes will never happen in their lifetime. But coming across something on the internet, that's inappropriate, or makes you uncomfortable, is probably going to happen to 99.99% of kids, before they turn 18. And so I think one of the tricks that I've learned through being in the industry is really, you know, teaching your kids what to do when they do have that moment. So it's the stop, walk and talk method. And I'm sure my kids are sick of hearing it from me, but it's when you see something that makes you feel uncomfortable, you need to stop what you're doing, walk away from your computer, and come talk to a trusted adult, and know that I'm not going to freak out, I am here to support you. And that secrets can't live in the dark.   Michael Hingson  41:10 That is, of course, the other part of it, which is that you have to react appropriately and help even stronger, encourage and emphasize and enhance the trust, which is what you're really implying. And it's important that kids understand that parents really mostly do want to have that trusting relationship, there are some who give up those responsibilities, which is unfortunate. But that's not generally what happens.   Lisa Thee  41:41 And that's why I don't say talk to a parent, maybe it's talk to a trusted adult, maybe it's his uncle, maybe it's a teacher, maybe it's my market research was the majority of times that kids come in contact with the adult world online. It has come into being pushed towards them. And it's not something they're actively seeking out. And shame is a huge deterrent from getting help. And kids are not equipped to be able to handle the coordinated behavior and malicious adults is just not a fair fight. So I, I tried to remind that myself and them that I have the mindset that I'm here to be a resource for you and not to make this about my shame triggers not to freak out and overreact. I'm teaching you how to be in the world. And the world sometimes can be a little messy. And I know that criminals are looking for easy targets. They're looking for the people that don't have somebody that has their back. Yeah. And I don't ever want to put my kids in the position of not having somebody behind them.   Michael Hingson  42:48 Did you have any of these kinds of experiences growing up bullying or those sorts of things?   Lisa Thee  42:53 Nope. Um, my drought of this came mostly from my travels in my 20s as a global IT manager and until I hit 36 countries before the age of 30. Seeing in the business hotels, I was often mistaken for a flight attendant. So people acted really comfortable in their own environment. And I saw a lot of the business travelers taking advantage of human trafficking victims, it was very blatant. And it was something that really cemented in me that when I was in a position where I could have the authority to do something about this crime that I would, and that came later in my 30s. But it was my it was the fuel and AI engine, so to speak, to say, what's the point of being a woman with any kind of power in the world, if you're not advocating for marginalized women and children, I, there's, that's the only reason to keep doing what I do every day.   Michael Hingson  43:53 I think I said earlier was fortunate and not having any real bullying or anything like that. Now I faced discrimination as a blind person. I've had a number of examples of people who discriminated or treated me inappropriately because of being blind. And I think the first example of that was when a high school superintendent in our district decided that my guide dog wouldn't be allowed to ride on the school bus because there was a rule in the district that said, no live animals allowed on the bus, which was well, which it was contrary, contrary to state law, also at the time, and he was a bully. And so he was really trying to just make his position, the only one that mattered to them and disregarded everything else. And it actually took getting the governor of California involved to fix it. But the Governor did. As I tell people I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the superintendent was summoned to say perminova over it. But the next week I was back on the bus.   Lisa Thee  45:05 I love that. It's awesome. It is so nice to see people that are abusing positions of power and authority to have some kind of accountability. I'm glad you didn't just advocate for yourself, you advocate for everyone that comes after you, right?   Michael Hingson  45:20 Sure. The The interesting thing about it is we first took it to the school board. And the board voted, even though we pointed out the state law, we pointed out case law my father did that demonstrated that the penal code in California took precedence over a rule in the school district, the board voted three to two to support the superintendent. That's how cowed several of the people were, or just took the position. Well, the superintendents, the boss, and we got to go along with what he says. And that's why it eventually went to the governor. But it was my first lesson in the fact that because I happen to not be able to see, I would be treated differently than than other people.   Lisa Thee  46:02 Wow, that's really powerful.   Michael Hingson  46:07 But it happens. And, you know,   Lisa Thee  46:09 I'm glad that you have a family that supports you, not everybody has the luxury of a functional family, to advocate for them. And that's why I do what I do. I'm not really worried about this happening to my kids to be honest, I they have a lot of advantages. But there's a lot of kids in foster care, there's a lot of kids that are maybe from families that maybe the LGBT community or other reasons are not under the protections that are. And I want to make sure that we we rise as a society for our most vulnerable, not only the privileged,   Michael Hingson  46:48 well, and you are taking the steps that you need to take with your children so that they grow up aware they grew up, hopefully wiser for it. And they grew up trusting their mom,   Lisa Thee  47:02 we'll see the jury's out time will tell the talks about Stranger Danger online and drives him nuts. Who knows?   Michael Hingson  47:13 That's right. I mean, you know, who knows what will happen, but all you can do is your best. And ultimately, you've got to live with that, that you can only do your best. And, and so you just kind of move forward as best you can. I'd like to read because you brought it up, you've experienced COVID, and so on, and which brings up the whole issue of, of disabilities, which is, of course another whole subject about people and how they treat people and so on. So I'd love to learn a little bit more about kind of, if you will, what happened to you and where you feel you fit now on the spectrum of people with disabilities and what where you feel society isn't all   Lisa Thee  47:52 that great question. So I was early to being exposed to COVID. I got sick in June of 2020. Well, before testing was readily available. And we knew what the possible long term effects of this disease were. My husband got it at the same time, unfortunately. And thank goodness my kids didn't. So very interesting all living in the same environment. But the adults were susceptible and the children weren't. I didn't have a lot of the classic symptoms they were looking for at the time, I never had a fever from COVID. I had pretty mild symptoms, according to the classifications, but unfortunately, it awoke at something in my immune system, that it's still having a hard time turning off. So since having COVID, and being diagnosed with long COVID with neurologic mild neurological impairment, I've lost half my hearing in my left ear, I have the hearing of a 60 something in my 40s I have a lot of Gi challenges that take a lot of medication to keep under control. And I get a lot of brain fog and insomnia because sleep apnea, so I have to be treated for that. And now I'm in the process of physical therapy and occupational therapy to recover some of my processing time and my brain when I'm trying to use my executive functioning skills. So as somebody that was labeled gifted before I started kindergarten, it is really, really hard to manage through the world. At the bottom 2% of the population, it's very foreign from what I've known before now, and I get lost picking my kids up from school. I sometimes am in a room and I don't know why I'm there. It is really hard for me to learn new things. Fortunately, I have a lot of things I learned before I got sick, but I still have a lot of access to. But new things are really, really tough for me, logistics names, things that I would just do without ever thinking about it. And I'm on disability from work right now I'm on a reduced schedule, I have been for a year and a half. I don't want to be put out to pasture I want to be part of the world. But unfortunately, that's as much as my body can handle at this point in time.   Michael Hingson  50:33 I have a friend who has brain cancer, and she's had it for several years, and she has gone through several brain surgeries and has had to work totally from home and not able to an infant back home is right now across country from where she works and so on. So it's it's a challenge. But the fact is that sometimes things occur, and she's, she's going through it pretty well. And she is able to, to move forward, although sometimes there are setbacks, and then those occur, but but she's really, she's really learned to be as strong as she can be at addressing it. So for you, what are they what are you doing, or what what can be done to kind of help some of the issues of the brain fog or the mental activities and so on?   Lisa Thee  51:26 No, I'm the results of my full diagnosis are only about a week old. So I'm sitting with a lot of acceptance right now, that's a big part of the game is just accepting that this is medical, it's not something I will be able to will myself thought of, or practice crossword puzzles and be done with. So I think part of it is reducing my stress around expecting more for myself and what I'm capable of today. I think secondarily is learning to how to have boundaries with friends, family and employers, what is possible for me, my doctor has been a really great partner in all these believing me and helping me get the right resources, make sure that I can, you know, keep my hours down, because I function very well, when I'm not fatigued, I just get fatigued much quicker than most people do post post injury. And I think also, you know, we've seen the impacts of the pandemic, disproportionately pushing women out of the workplace, or back to the 1980s levels of representation. So I feel really grateful that I have an entrepreneurial background to fall back on. I don't think I could keep up in a full corporate environment today. And I'm really grateful for advocates that I have within Funch consulting, that allow me to work and do what I do particularly well, in the times that I can do it so that I can still be part of society and make those accommodations. I'm really grateful for that. But I must admit, it's so really painful. When people clearly are expecting me to do things that I'm just not capable of, because I don't look disabled examples. So Girl Scout cookies for the last five years, totally not a big deal. I couldn't reconcile the number of boxes and what we ordered this year, I just simply couldn't do it. Or, you know, my kid forgot to I drop my kid off late to school this week. And they're like, Okay, you just need to go here into the attendance person and write this email and do this and do that. And I had to be like, I'm sorry, I have brain damage. I am not going to have the wherewithal to do that. On top of everything else I'm doing today, like, Can this be enough? You're seeing me right now seeing that my kid is here with me? Can you make an exception? And I found that unless I'm more vulnerable and actually say I have a disability, can you please? People are really kind of condescending, to be honest. And so I'm still tinkering with it. I haven't really come up with the way to protect my dignity and get the accommodations I need. Do you have any suggestions? Because honestly, I'm a little newer to this.   Michael Hingson  54:24 What did the attendance person do with a fine with that?   Lisa Thee  54:27 They argued with me three times until I said I have brain damage and then they stopped.   Michael Hingson  54:33 Yeah. The The problem is we haven't taught each other how to be inclusive and we haven't taught ourselves to address difference. So you're right people expect you just because you look quote normal and have quotation to be normal, even though in fact you might not be dyslexic. He is a perfect example of that kind of thing where it's an invisible disability, but it affects many people. And people have learned ways to address the issue, and sometimes hide the issue. But they've, they've learned to be able to be successful. And I think the biggest thing is, is what you're saying and doing right now you accept it, you accept the fact that there is this, this change in your life, which classifies you as a person with a disability. And there's nothing wrong with that. If you can address some of the issues medically or, or in some way, and your physical and occupational therapists and others can help you address some of that. And it may be creating new neural paths and of some sort, or it may just be that some things won't totally go back the way they were. But if you accept that, and figure out how to deal with it, that's the best that you can do.   Lisa Thee  56:04 Yeah, I think I'm early in that journey. But I know that that's where I need to go next. And it's funny, I've technically been on disability, because I've worked part time instead of full time for almost a year and a half. But it wasn't until I got that final doctor's diagnosis, that I able to accept that that it's real. And even though I'm living with it, like they didn't say anything in that report that I couldn't tell you what's happening all the time, seeing it validated in writing, with specific tests that they don't know anything about me, and they can detect, it really helped me come to at least say, Okay, I don't need to blame myself anymore for this. And I don't need to hide all the places that are hard for me. And maybe this is as good as I'll be. Or maybe I'll improve over time with new learning new ways. Like you mentioned with dyslexic people. I mean, how CEOs are dyslexic Creative Learning. Well,   Michael Hingson  57:06 that's exactly right. You know, Malcolm Gladwell wrote the book, David and Goliath, and he talks in there about CEOs who are dyslexic, they didn't say anything, but they learned to deal with it. And the fact is, I still take the position that there is not one person on this earth who doesn't have a disability. For most people. It's you depend on light. And I sometimes say that facetiously. But it is absolutely true. You don't have access to electric lights, or candles, or whatever power goes out, and you're not in a room with a window, you're most likely in a world of hurt. We've developed accommodations for that, because we've invented the electric lights, they, yes, Thomas Edison and others invented the electric light. And, and we have done a number of things to allow light to be around whenever we want it. It doesn't change the fact that in reality, physically speaking, most of us still have that same disability.   Lisa Thee  58:12 I mean, at the end of the day, 2021 was tough, I was getting scanned for brain tumors, I was getting many, many medical tests, I probably didn't go two weeks without some kind of doctor's appointment the entire calendar year. And I still had to deliver a TED talk that I get selected for before I got disabled. And when it's really hard for you to learn new things, it's really hard to memorize, even if you wrote the speech. And I mean, until the week I was on that stage, I really wasn't sure, really until the morning of if I was going to stand up there like a deer in headlights and not be able to deliver it because they don't allow any visual aids in the TED family.   Michael Hingson  58:58 And he's they're smart. They're smart. Who needs visual aids? That's what I say,   Lisa Thee  59:03 You know what, you know, who needs them? People with neurological damage?   Michael Hingson  59:07 Yeah, no, I understand. Yeah.   Lisa Thee  59:11 You know, I don't think many people that would follow me on social media on LinkedIn or such would envision that I have a disability. And so I just encourage everyone to be generous with their kindness for people you never really know what people are managing through. Most of 2021 Even though I was named a top 50, global thought leader in AI, privacy and health and safety and they did a TED talk. I was in bed by two o'clock because I couldn't physically hold my head up. Yeah. So   Michael Hingson  59:47 and, and the reality is we we don't need to and shouldn't pity ourselves. Sometimes. Yeah, you have to have a little pity. But ultimately, what we have to recognize is We are who we are, with whatever gifts we have, sometimes those gifts change, but we we have the gifts that we have. And what we need to do is to maximize our ability to use them. And sometimes that also helps us grow and improve our ability to use gifts. But it is ultimately a mindset. And it is a mindset that we need to adopt to basically get ourselves to recognize that we can probably be better than we think we are.   Lisa Thee  1:00:31 And that's actually what's inspired me now to write my book, the 90 day career cleanse, how to go from burnout to sustainability, sustainable living, because I had to learn a new way, it wasn't an option. And I see a lot of people suffering right now with feeling like they can't keep up. And they can't keep doing this. And I want to give some lived experience and some hope and some frameworks to people to be able to make that transition more gracefully. Because it's a lonely road when you're in the middle of it.   Michael Hingson  1:01:01 Well, how is your puppy dog helped you in terms of dealing with all the things that have happened to you.   Lisa Thee  1:01:09 Um, I think one of the strongest ways he helps me as accountability. He doesn't care how I feeling he expects a walk every day. And that gets me out in the sunshine and helps me see the tops of the trees and the blue skies of California and be reminded at how little anything I'm doing matters in the scheme of the world and not to be so hard on myself or others. I think the other ways that he helps is, you know, the, the cuddles and snuggles and the attunement. I mean, you can't be in your head and not be present in the moment when the warm cuddly puppy in your lap, that you're heading, it just brings you back into your body. And I find so much of what needs to happen to get through the stressors of life and mental health, whether that be mental health or medical, or, you know, just the the wear and tear of adulting is getting out of your brain and into your body. And I think that's where animals really help.   Michael Hingson  1:02:11 We have been talking for some time about writing a book, of course, I wrote thunder dog, which has been a number one New York Times bestseller, and it's actually called Thunder dog the story of a blind man, his guide dog and the triumph of trust. And if you out there who are listening to this have read it hope you will. Alamo says that it would be really great Elmo being my guide dog. It'd be great if you buy books, because we need to get money for kibbles. So you know, just keep that in mind.   Lisa Thee  1:02:38 More of those donut toys, right?   Michael Hingson  1:02:40 And go nuts. Yeah, well, he's got a couple of he plays with them. But, but the thing about it is that in there, of course, I talked about being in the World Trade Center. And we talked earlier about the mindset that I developed, that kept me from being afraid or allowed me or helped me use the fear, if you will, that I had to help me focus. But I've never taught people how to do that. So we're actually writing a new book, The working title right now is a guide dogs Guide to Being brave, awesome. And we're going to we're talking with people about fear and the things that that they have accomplished and overcoming fears and so on. And of course, we're emphasizing a lot with animals. So if you don't mind, we're going to probably see if we can draft you to be interviewed for the book.   Lisa Thee  1:03:26 Oh, it will be an absolute honor. Thank you.   Michael Hingson  1:03:30 And, you know, we're really excited about it. Because there's so many things that and we've talked about it here that we talked about in our lives, that are creating so much fear, we've got to be able to move beyond the fear. Because if we allow fear to just overtake us, then we are no longer in a good position to make decisions and think the way we ought to about how to deal with whatever problems we're facing.   Lisa Thee  1:03:57 I can't say that I bring my dog most places because I do still have a lot of triggers for my PTSD. I was in a school when they went into lockdown for an active shooter in 2016. And I came out okay, but we didn't know that for those three hours, we were hiding in the dark under a desk, wondering if I would ever see my family again. And then going into Child Safety Online. I I know what can go wrong and a level of detail that most people will never ever have to deal with. And so I get a lot of judgment a lot of times when I bring my dog because he's he isn't an emotional support animal. He has been registered as one but a lot of people think that's a joke and not a real thing. And, you know, I just hope that people can remain a little bit more open that not not everything on the surface is all the story and he really does help me and I'm sure there's other people that maybe take advantage of that system and you know, have fun do all sorts of crazy animals are traveling with or whatnot, but I just, I just encourage people to judge less than accept more.   Michael Hingson  1:05:09 Well, the the issue with emotional support animals in part is even ones that are registered are not necessarily trained to deal with the public and so on. And of course, a service dog or assistance dog is an animal that's been trained to provide a service. And so one of the things I'm immediately thinking of is that you ought to explore the scene, what else you could do or how someone could help you even better train him to help you with PTSD, because that is recognized as a service.   Lisa Thee  1:05:43 Oh, that's wonderful. I'll, I'll talk to you after this. Learn a bit more. I would not put myself it's an amazing drug dog trainer that is not in my skill set of things that I can   Michael Hingson  1:05:54 use. Okay. That's okay. Well, listen, we've been doing this a while. So we should we should end I think, unless you've got something else you want to talk about?   Lisa Thee  1:06:03 No, this was, this was wonderful. Thank you, Michael. How can how can people   Michael Hingson  1:06:07 reach out to

Our guest today is Laura Musgrave. Laura was named one of 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics™ for 2022. Laura is a digital anthropology and user experience (UX) researcher.  Her research specialism is artificial intelligence, particularly data and privacy.Laura gave a short talk at the inaugural conference in 2019 on privacy and convenience in the use of AI smart speakers. And at the 2021 event Laura chaired the panel, Data: Privacy and Responsibility. We start our conversation by exploring Laura's interest in data and privacy, and smart assistants in particular. During her research on smart speaker use in homes, she's noticed a shift in people's attitudes and a growing public awareness around privacy and technology, and the use of AI. This shift, she feels, has been aided by documentaries like The Social Dilemma (despite well-founded criticisms such as this article by Ivana Bartoletti in the Huffington Post) and Coded Bias. Laura talks about where the responsibility of privacy lies — with the technology companies, with the users, with the regulators — and that as a user researcher, she has a part to play in helping people understand what's happening with their data.I ask Laura what drew her to anthropology and how she thinks the research methods and lens of anthropology can be used to design responsible AI. She says, "The user researchers that really stood out to me very early on in my career were the anthropologists and ethnographers"  because "the way that they looked at things…really showed a deep understanding of human behaviour". It "set the bar" for her, she explains, and she wanted to know: “How do I do what they do”.Laura shares the book she'd recommend to user researchers, like her, who are starting out on their ethnographic journey, a book which helped her “make sense of how ethnography fitted into my everyday work “.Because Laura's been named one of the 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics™ for 2022, I ask her to share what the AI ethics landscape, with respect to data and privacy, looks like for 2022. As she explains, “in some senses it is much the same as last year but it's also a constantly developing space and there are constantly new initiatives” before sharing some of the key themes she thinks we are likely to see in 2022.Lastly, Laura recommends two books, both published by Meatspace Press: Fake AI, and Data Justice and Covid-19: Global Perspectives. (The former we picked for our 2021 Recommended Reads and the latter for our 2020 Recommended Reads.)You can connect with Laura on LinkedIn and on Twitter @lmusgrave.

Welcome to this special episode of Ctrl Alt Delete! This episode was recorded live at Samsung KX in Coal Drops Yard in front of a live audience which was very exciting! It was a brilliant venue and it's been a while - it felt good to be in person again. A wonderful panel of women got together to discuss the “brilliance bias”, the myth that still sadly pervades our society and work culture, where ‘brilliant' is often seen as a male trait. I am grateful to Samsung for being so transparent and honest in this conversation, they are looking ahead to where they want to be when it comes to these kinds of discussions and that transparency is key. Many studies (research from New York, Harvard and Denver Universities) state that 75% of people implicitly and unknowingly associate high levels of intelligence (or intellectual “brilliance”) with men more than women.It seems slightly crazy to be discussing this but the statistic was so intriguing - I really enjoyed chatting to the panel about the myths and stereotypes around a certain type of person being heralded as ‘brilliant', when actually obviously it comes in all shapes and sizes. So, unpicking this topic, I have a brilliant line-up: Annie Ridout, the bestselling author of SHY; and Chloe Findlay-Walker and Nida Choudhary who both offer interesting perspectives from Samsung, who I'm super excited to be partnering with for this episode as part of its Samsung Pioneers programme. I hope you enjoy this theme, and to find out more, please head to the show notes for more information!

Ethics in AI Seminar - presented by the Institute for Ethics in AI Chair: Peter Millican, Gilbert Ryle Fellow and Professor of Philosophy at Hertford College, Oxford University What role should the technical AI community play in questions of AI ethics and those concerning the broader impacts of AI? Are technical researchers well placed to reason about the potential societal impacts of their work? What does it mean to conduct and publish AI research responsibly? What challenges does the AI community face in reaching consensus about responsibilities, and adopting appropriate norms and governance mechanisms? How can we maximise the benefits while minimizing the risks of increasingly advanced AI research? AI and related technologies are having an increasing impact on the lives of individuals, as well as society as a whole. Alongside many current and potential future benefits, there has been an expanding catalogue of harms arising from deployed systems, raising questions about fairness and equality, privacy, worker exploitation, environmental impact, and more. In addition, there have been increasing incidents of research publications which have caused an outcry over ethical concerns and potential negative societal impacts. In response, many are now asking whether the technical AI research community itself needs to do more to ensure ethical research conduct, and to ensure beneficial outcomes from deployed systems. But how should individual researchers and the research community more broadly respond to the existing and potential impacts from AI research and AI technology? Where should we draw the line between academic freedom and centering societal impact in research, or between openness and caution in publication? Are technical researchers well placed to grapple with issues of ethics and societal impact, or should these be left to other actors and disciplines? What can we learn from other high-stakes, ‘dual-use' fields? In this seminar, Rosie Campbell, Carolyn Ashurst and Helena Webb will discuss these and related issues, drawing on examples such as conference impact statements, release strategies for large language models, and responsible research innovation in practice. Speakers Rosie Campbell leads the Safety-Critical AI program the Partnership on AI . She is currently focused on responsible publication and deployment practices for increasingly advanced AI, and was a co-organizer of the NeurIPS workshop on Navigating the Broader Impacts of AI Research . Previously, Rosie was the Assistant Director of the Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) , a technical AI safety research group at UC Berkeley working towards provably beneficial AI. Before that, Rosie worked as a research engineer at BBC R and D, a multidisciplinary research lab based in the UK. There, she worked on emerging technologies for media and broadcasting, including an award-winning project exploring the use of AI in media production. Rosie holds a Master's in Computer Science and a Bachelor's in Physics, and also has academic experience in Philosophy and Machine Learning. She co-founded a futurist community group in the UK to explore the social implications of emerging tech, and was recently named one of ‘100 Brilliant Women to follow in AI Ethics.' Dr Carolyn Ashurst Carolyn is a Senior Research Scholar at the Future of Humanity Institute and Research Affiliate with the Centre for the Governance of AI . Her research focuses on improving the societal impacts of machine learning and related technologies, including topics in AI governance, responsible machine learning, and algorithmic fairness. Her technical fairness research focuses on using causal models to formalise incentives for fairness related behaviours. On the question of responsible research and publication, Carolyn recently co-authored A Guide to Writing the NeurIPS Impact Statement , Institutionalizing Ethics in AI through Broader Impact requirements , and co-organised the NeurIPS workshop on Navigating the Broader Impacts of AI Research . Previously, she worked as a data and research scientist in various roles within government and finance. She holds an MMath and PhD from the University of Bath. Dr Helena Webb Helena is a Senior Researcher in the Department of Computer Science at Oxford. She is an interdisciplinary researcher and specialises in projects that bridge social science and computational analysis. She is interested in the ways that users interact with technologies in different kinds of settings and how social action both shapes and is shaped by innovation. She works on projects that seek to identify mechanisms for the improved design, responsible development and effective regulation of technology. Whilst at Oxford she has worked on projects relating to, amongst others, harmful content on social media, algorithm bias, resources in STEM education, and responsible robotics. Helena is the Research Lead at the newly formed Responsible Technology Institute in the Department of Computer Science. She also co convenes student modules in the Department on Computers in Society and Ethics and Responsible Innovation. Chair Professor Peter Millican Peter is Gilbert Ryle Fellow and Professor of Philosophy at Hertford College, Oxford. He has researched and published over a wide range, including Early Modern Philosophy, Epistemology, Ethics, Philosophy of Language and of Religion, but has a particular focus on interdisciplinary connections with Computing and AI. He founded and oversees the Oxford undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Philosophy, which has been running since 2012.

Her new book is called “The Queens of Animation: The Untold Story of the Women Who Transformed the World of Disney and Made Cinematic History.”

Geek Girl in the News looks at the awesome or not so awesome news that will make you go either: "YAY" or "OMG I can't believe that." The latest and greatest geek girl news from March 2020 covers the world's obsession with Animal Crossing, films getting their released dates pushed back, Brie Larson being a true gem, Thor: Love and Thunder's new villain (you might be surprised!), and all these famous people being pretty awesome during this pandemic, especially Elton John and John Krasinski! Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you know that Nintendo released the latest Animal Crossing for the Switch. Are you O.B.S.E.S.S.E.D!? Because we are. Yes - WE - Amanda predicted she'd have Animal Crossing by the time this episode releases, and what do you know - she does! This is the perfect CUTE game to obsess over with your friends. So good for all this social distancing we need to do right now, right!? Some pop culture news that's a bit of a bummer, but so many movie release dates are getting pushed back. Like Wonder Woman, which was due to be released in June has been rescheduled for August! There's also talk about doing some big streaming releases instead of red carpet premiers - wouldn't that be wild!? We think doing streaming releases is an awesome way for the film to still make money while keeping to the launch schedule and giving people something amazing and fun to look forward to! Hopefully Black Widow, which is releasing in early May (as of recording) will do this!! So, really - is there any celeb out there cuter and more perf than Brie Larson? DIDN'T THINK SO. She's being vocal about the awesome women in her circle of support and encouraging other women to raise each other up. HEAR FREAKING HERE, Brie! Our new motto is officially "BE MORE BRIE". Ya dig? And lastly, we're talking about how all these famous people are being brilliant in this time of crisis. Because isn't that what they're there for? To provide the masses laughs and love and entertainment? THANK YOU so much to people like Elton John, who's orchestrating incredible living room concerts, all those artists on Insta hopping on for impromptu live concerts, and - get ready to sob - John Krasinski and his new "Some Good News" series which talks about, well, good news - ONLY! Never been more appreciative of the celebs than we are right now. Except Gal Gadot encouraging others to sing 'Imagine' by John Lennon. You can keep that to yourself, kthanks.
