Hoy se cumplen 1.390 días del cruel ataque e invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. 3 años y 280 días. Hoy es miércoles 3 diciembre de 2025. Día Internacional de las Personas con Discapacidad. El 3 de diciembre se celebra en todo el mundo el Día Internacional de las Personas con Discapacidad, una fecha proclamada por la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas en 1992 con el objetivo de promover los derechos, la inclusión social y el bienestar de las personas con discapacidad en todos los ámbitos de la sociedad. Esta jornada busca visibilizar las barreras —físicas, sociales, culturales y actitudinales— que todavía limitan la plena participación de millones de personas. También pretende concienciar a gobiernos, instituciones, empresas y ciudadanía sobre la importancia de crear entornos accesibles, oportunidades equitativas y políticas públicas que garanticen la igualdad real. Cada año, la ONU propone un tema central, normalmente relacionado con la accesibilidad digital, la educación inclusiva, el empleo digno, la participación política o la construcción de sociedades más justas. Más que una simple conmemoración, este día sirve para evaluar los avances y recordar que la discapacidad no define a las personas, sino que es la sociedad la que debe adaptarse para asegurar su participación plena. En resumen, el 3 de diciembre es una oportunidad para reflexionar, sensibilizar y actuar hacia un mundo donde todas las personas —con y sin discapacidad— puedan vivir con igualdad, dignidad y autonomía. 1967 – Primer trasplante de corazón humano exitoso. En Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica, el doctor Christiaan Barnard realizó el primer trasplante de corazón humano exitoso. Este hito marcó un antes y un después en la medicina moderna, abriendo nuevas posibilidades para los tratamientos cardiovasculares y la cirugía de órganos vitales. 1984 – Desastre químico de Bhopal. En India, se produjo uno de los peores accidentes industriales de la historia cuando una fuga de gas tóxico en la planta de Union Carbide en Bhopal causó miles de muertos y afectó a cientos de miles de personas más. Este evento generó cambios significativos en la regulación de la industria química y la gestión de riesgos industriales a nivel mundial. 1990 – Reunificación de Alemania. Tras la caída del Muro de Berlín en 1989, el 3 de diciembre de 1990 se formalizó el proceso de reunificación alemana, consolidando la integración de Alemania Oriental y Occidental. Este hecho simbolizó el fin de la Guerra Fría en Europa y la consolidación de la democracia en la región. 1992 – Día Internacional de las Personas con Discapacidad. La ONU proclamó el 3 de diciembre como un día para concienciar sobre los derechos y la inclusión social de las personas con discapacidad. Desde entonces, se promueve la eliminación de barreras y la igualdad de oportunidades en educación, empleo y participación social. 2017 – Primera cumbre mundial sobre Inteligencia Artificial de la ONU. La ONU organizó en Nueva York la primera cumbre mundial sobre Inteligencia Artificial, destacando la importancia de regular y orientar el desarrollo tecnológico hacia un uso ético, seguro y beneficioso para la humanidad. 2018 – Entrada en vigor del GDPR en la Unión Europea. La UE implementó nuevas regulaciones de protección de datos personales mediante el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos (GDPR), reforzando la privacidad de los ciudadanos y estableciendo estándares que han influido en políticas de datos a nivel mundial. 2021 – Avances en energía renovable a nivel global. Se registró el mayor número de países comprometidos con acuerdos de energía renovable, consolidando esfuerzos internacionales para combatir el cambio climático y fomentar la transición hacia fuentes de energía sostenibles. Santoral del 3 de diciembre: El santo principal es San Francisco Javier (1506-1552), sacerdote jesuita español, gran misionero en Asia y patrón de las misiones. Otros santos: Santa Cándida, Santa Brígida, San Claudio, San Lucio, San Sola y San Agrícola. Trump le dijo a Maduro en su llamada que tenía una semana para abandonar Venezuela, según Reuters. El papa llama a EE.UU. a evitar un ataque militar en Venezuela y optar mejor por diálogo o "presiones" Feijóo considera que Sánchez es un "hipócrita" al negar la relación personal con Ábalos: "Es el arquitecto de su era" Ayer el Gobierno ha aprobado un nuevo aplazamiento de VERI*FACTU. Las sociedades tendrán que adaptarse a partir del 1 de enero de 2027. Los autónomos y profesionales, con actividad económica en IRPF, a partir del 1 de julio de 2027. Esto significa que, de momento, no tendrás que cambiar tu programa de facturación en 2026 como estaba previsto. La DGT da marcha atrás: el director general de Tráfico anuncia que serán "flexibles" con la baliza V16. los agentes serán "flexibles" durante los primeros meses. Esto significa que no se impondrán multas de forma inmediata -que son de 80 euros-, sino que se priorizará la información y el periodo de adaptación. Canarias cierra noviembre con una bajada del paro: 1.030 desempleados menos. En términos interanuales, el desempleo en las islas disminuyó en 12.236 personas. El vicepresidente Domínguez reconoce que “no habrá rebaja del IGIC” en Canarias en esta legislatura. Asume que las previsiones del Gobierno regional apuntan una ralentización económica en 2026. El 58% de los canarios ve adecuado el volumen de turistas que reciben, por un 20% excesivo. En ninguna isla el colectivo de los que consideran que Canarias recibe excesivos turistas llega al 25 % de la población. Un 3 de diciembre de 2005 – Se publica el álbum “Back to Black” de Amy Winehouse en Reino Unido, que marcaría su consagración internacional.

Data sovereignty is a hot topic of the year, driven by the massive proliferation of data, the rise of multinational hyperscalers, and the increasing use of AI. The Pure Report podcast welcomes Pure Field CTO for EMEA, Patrick Smith, to define this critical concept—data being subject to the laws and governance of the country in which it is created or stored—and to explain why enterprises must now focus not just on location, but on who manages, accesses, and controls their data. We discuss how a confluence of circumstances, including recent cloud provider outages, has highlighted the interconnected world and the risks inherent in where data resides, propelling this issue to the forefront for IT leaders globally. Patrick dives into the three prevailing factors driving the need for a data sovereignty strategy: increasing data sensitivity and regulation (like GDPR), the massive growth and reliance on public cloud environments, and unpredictable geopolitical issues that create risk. He shares key findings from the recent University of Sydney survey, revealing a heightened sense of urgency: 100% of respondents are reconsidering their data's location due to sovereignty concerns, and 78% are actively adopting strategies for sovereign capabilities. We also break down the strategic options available, ranging from doing nothing or too much (and accepting the risk) to the preferred middle-ground approach of a thorough risk assessment to guide placement decisions. Our conversation shifts to actionable steps, with Patrick emphasizing that good data governance is the essential underpinning for any successful sovereignty strategy. We explore the necessity of a hybrid multi-cloud architecture that embeds sovereign capabilities, allowing organizations to run the right application in the right location based on its risk profile and move it easily if regulation changes. Finally, Patrick explains how Pure's Enterprise Data Cloud—focused on simplicity, automation, and industry-leading energy efficiency—directly intersects with and helps solve the challenges of delivering sovereign capabilities, leading to the crucial, easy win: understand the domain, track regulation, and above all, don't ignore the changing data landscape.

I denne episode taler vi med Nutanix' globale CTO, Manosiz “Mano” Bhattacharyya, som deler flere centrale punkter fra Nutanix. Vi dykker ned i, hvorfor reguleringer som GDPR og NIS2 har øget interessen for private cloud og sovereign cloud. Virksomheder kan bevare fuld kontrol over data uden at miste cloudens fleksibilitet. Mano forklarer også, hvorfor Norden – med Nutanix-kunder som Vestas, Grundfos og Icelandair – er et af de mest modne IT-markeder i verden, med høje krav til stabilitet, sikkerhed og edge-computing. Endelig ser vi på, hvorfor AI skal flyttes til data og ikke omvendt. Petabytes af regulerede data kan ikke flyttes effektivt til skyen, og derfor arbejder Nutanix på at bringe AI og compute ud til de edge-miljøer og datacentre, hvor dataen faktisk lever. Lyt med, og få et overblik på en halv time over, hvordan virksomheder i Norden opnår sikkerhed og moderne cloudarkitektur og opfylder fremtidens AI-behov.

October 2025 shook the crypto world. Bitcoin crashed harder than any October since 2015, someone accidentally minted $300 trillion in stablecoins, and traditional banks started an all-out war against crypto companies trying to get federal charters. Tedd Huff, founder of Fintech Confidential and CEO of fintech advisory firm Voalyre, sits down with Rob Musiala, partner at Baker Hostetler who co-leads The Blockchain Monitor, to break down what moved Web3 when it mattered most. They walk through why stablecoins just crushed major card networks with $2.6 trillion in annual volume, how Western Union suddenly decided blockchain payments make sense, and what the Genius Act really means for everyone trying to operate in this space. This isn't theory. Banks are fighting to protect their turf while crypto infrastructure gets bought up for billions. The conversation covers enforcement crackdowns, court rulings that actually matter, regulatory battles over OCC charters, and why sitting this one out stopped being an option months ago. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1️⃣ Financial institutions must evaluate make-or-buy decisions on stablecoin infrastructure before competitors capture market share as platforms offering blockchain-based payments already process volumes exceeding major card networks. 2️⃣ Developers building on Ethereum layer-2 solutions can expect 30-60% lower transaction fees after Fusaka activates December 3rd, allowing projects to adjust pricing models or capture improved margins. 3️⃣ Stablecoin issuers, custodians, payment facilitators, and exchanges face different compliance requirements based on their specific business models under the Genius Act framework. 4️⃣ Retail investors and traders experienced 60-80% losses across major meme coins during October, while newcomers like Mini U and MemeCore surged during the same downturn. 5️⃣ Businesses operating cross-border payments between Japan and international markets gain new infrastructure as institutions push toward 10 trillion yen stablecoin circulation targets.

Il Digital Omnibus non vale i pixel che occorre accendere per visualizzarlo. Lsa Commissione dovrebbe vergognarsi, ma solo dopo essere stata impeciata, impiumata, e portata in giro per Bruxelles a cavallo di un palo, così che il popolo possa pacatamente esprimere il proprio democratico dissenso a pomodorate.

What if the rules we write today could make tomorrow's technology more human, safer, and genuinely worth wanting? We sit down with Anna Aseeva, a legal strategist working at the intersection of sustainability, intellectual property, and AI, to map a smarter path for digital innovation that starts with design and ends with systems people trust.We dig into the significant shifts shaping tech governance right now. Anna explains a practical model for aligning IP and sustainability: protect early to nurture fragile ideas through sandboxes and investment, then open up mature solutions with licensing that shares benefits and safeguards intent. This conversation is equally about culture and code. We talk about legal design that reads like plain talk, citizen participation that turns evidence into policy input, and civic apps that could let communities steer platform rules. We cover digital sustainability beyond emissions—lighter websites, greener hosting, and product decisions that fight digital obesity and planned obsolescence. And we don't shy away from the realities of AI: hallucinated footnotes, invented coauthors, and the simple fixes that come from a careful human in the loop.If you're a builder or curious listener who wants technology to serve people and planet, you'll find clear takeaways: design for sustainability from day one, keep humans in charge of final decisions, protect what's fragile, open what's ready, and invite people into the process. Subscribe, share with a friend, and tell us: where should human review be non-negotiable?Send us a textCheck out "Protection for the Inventive Mind" – available now on Amazon in print and Kindle formats.

Building a Compliant and Scalable FinTech Ecosystem

In this episode, Colleen Barry, Head of Marketing at Ketch, breaks down how modern companies can strengthen growth by building on permission-based data and smarter privacy practices. She explains how Ketch helps organizations replace outdated GDPR-era tools with end-to-end consent management that connects clean, compliant data across every system marketers rely on. Colleen also shares how buyers now discover solutions, why showing up earlier in research cycles matters, and how Ketch uses product tours, dynamic personalization, and SEO strategies to convert qualified demos directly from the website. It's a practical conversation for marketers who want to stay ahead of privacy trends while driving measurable pipeline impact.   

Speaker: Professor Lilian Edwards, Emeritus Professor of Law, Innovation & Society, Newcastle Law School Biography: Lilian Edwards is a leading academic in the field of Internet law. She has taught information technology law, e-commerce law, privacy law and Internet law at undergraduate and postgraduate level since 1996 and been involved with law and artificial intelligence (AI) since 1985. She is now Emerita Professor at Newcastle and Honorary Professor at CREAte, University of Glasgow, which she helped co-found. She is the editor and major author of Law, Policy and the Internet, one of the leading textbooks in the field of Internet law (Hart, 2018, new edition forthcoming with Urquhart and Goanta, 2026). She won the Future of Privacy Forum award in 2019 for best paper ("Slave to the Algorithm" with Michael Veale) and the award for best non-technical paper at FAccT in 2020, on automated hiring. In 2004 she won the Barbara Wellberry Memorial Prize in 2004 for work on online privacy where she invented the notion of data trusts, a concept which ten years later has been proposed in EU legislation. She is a former fellow of the Alan Turing Institute on Law and AI, and the Institute for the Future of Work. Edwards has consulted for inter alia the EU Commission, the OECD, and WIPO.Abstract: The right to an explanation is having another moment. Well after the heyday of 2016-2018 when scholars tussled over whether the GDPR ( in either art 22 or arts 13-15) conferred a right to explanation, the CJEU case of Dun and Bradstreet has finally confirmed its existence, and the Platform Work Directive has wholesale revamped art 22 in its Algorithmic Management chapter. Most recently the EU AI Act added its own Frankenstein-like right to an explanation (art 86) of AI systems .None of these provisions however pin down what the essence of the explanation should be, given many notions can be invoked here ; a faithful description of source code or training data; an account that enables challenge or contestation; a “plausible” description that may be appealing in a behaviouralist sense but might be actually misleading when operationalised eg to generate a medical course of treatment. Agarwal et al argue that the tendency of UI designers, and regulators and judges alike to lean towards the plausibility end, may be unsuited to large language models which represent far more of a black box in size and optimisation than conventional machine learning, and which are trained to present encouraging but not always accurate accounts of their workings. Yet this is also the direction of travel taken by CJEU Dun & Bradstreet , above. This paper argues that explanations of large model outputs may present novel challenges needing thoughtful legal mandates.For more information (and to download slides) see: https://www.cipil.law.cam.ac.uk/seminars-and-events/cipil-seminars

In this week's episode, Matthias Reinwarth and Alexei Balaganski discuss the growing importance of AI Data Provenance. The conversation explores why provenance is distinct from traditional logging, the operational gaps between ML engineering practices and regulatory expectations, and the regulatory context driving these requirements. They get into the risks of attempting to retrofit governance after AI systems are already deployed and explain why provenance must be built directly into data and model workflows. Key Topics Covered:✅ AI data provenance is a new and urgent issue.✅ Low-quality data leads to poor AI outcomes.✅ Auditing and compliance are essential for AI systems.✅ Organizations must establish governance for AI data.✅ Data catalogs and traceability are foundational.✅ Prepare for AI regulations like GDPR.✅ Start small and apply a risk-based approach.✅ Never trust, always verify your data sources.

Welcome to a Special Episode of AI Unraveled: The Cost of Data Gravity: Solving the Hybrid AI Deployment Nightmare.We are tackling the silent budget killer in enterprise AI: Data Gravity. You have petabytes of proprietary data—the "mass" that attracts apps and services—but moving it to the cloud for inference is becoming a financial and regulatory nightmare. We break down why the cloud-first strategy is failing for heavy data, the hidden tax of egress fees, and the new architectural playbook for 2025.Source: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/cost-data-gravity-solving-hybrid-ai-deployment-nightmare-djamgatech-ic42cStrategic Pillars & Topics

Anu Talus was elected Chair of the European Data Protection Board in May of 2023. The EDPB, which was established in 2018, ensures that the EU General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Law Enforcement Directive are consistently applied in the EU. It also provides general GDPR guidance, adopts findings to ensure the GDPR is implemented consistently across member nations, advises the European Commission on data protection matters, and encourages DPAs to work together.    In other words, leading the EDPB is no small task, especially in an increasingly complex digital marketplace during the dawn of the AI Era. While here in Brussels, IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy sat down with Chair Talus during an especially significant week in EU data protection on the eve of the release of the EU's Digital Omnibus package, which proposes to amend parts of the GDPR and other EU digital regulations.    In this wide-ranging conversation, Bracy and Talus discuss the EDPB's priorities and work in these transformative times.

It's not science fiction anymore; it's Agentic AI. We're moving past the era where AI just assists us.  Now, we're talking about a coworker that can run entire recruiting workflows from start to finish. Think of it like a Tesla: you set the destination, and it drives the car. But I don't want you to be left in the dust regarding what this looks like. We are talking about autonomous scoring, outreach, and screening that operates without human intervention so you can save your intervention for where it matters most. However, with great automation comes great responsibility. I know we are all feeling the pinch point of budget constraints and increased hiring needs , but you cannot build automation on top of chaos. If you don't have a strong foundation or good data, you're just going to automate chaos. We're going to discuss the critical guardrails you need - like human oversight on outreach and bias monitoring, because the human touch is going to be more valuable than it ever has been. So, where do you start? We'll look at finding your highest ROI pilots, like passive candidate sourcing or high-volume screening, and how to build a governance framework so candidates know they are interacting with AI. This isn't autopilot; it's assisted driving. Join me as we explore how to use these tools to elevate the human experience, not replace it. Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

We break down the data states that matter most—at rest, in transit, and in use—and show how to pair encryption, access control, and monitoring without drowning in complexity. Along the way, we share a pragmatic blueprint for classification and labeling that teams actually follow, from visual tags and watermarks to tightly governed upgrade and downgrade paths that keep owners accountable.From there, we zoom out to strategy. Risk tolerance drives control selection, so we talk through scoping and tailoring: how to apply NIST and ISO 27001 sensibly, where GDPR and HIPAA come into play, and why focused logging beats “collect everything” fantasies. You'll hear the real differences between DRM and DLP—licensing and usage enforcement versus data path control—and when each tool earns its keep. We also lay out transfer procedures that work in the wild: SFTP with verified keys, email encryption, FIPS‑validated USBs, and restricted cloud shares with time‑boxed access.Cloud isn't a blind spot when a CASB sits between your users and SaaS. We explain how a CASB delivers visibility into shadow IT, enforces policy across apps, integrates with identity for conditional access, and even helps you rein in egress costs.

In this episode of The Founder's Sandbox, host Brenda McCabe sits down with Chris Daden, CTO of Criteria Corp, to explore what it takes to scale purpose-driven businesses in the era of Work 4.0. Chris shares his fascinating origin story—starting with a childhood shaped by tech-savvy parents and leading to multiple exits, international teams, and leadership at a global talent success platform. He breaks down how Criteria uses science and AI to remove bias from hiring, why soft skills matter more than ever, and how to future-proof your workforce in an AI-augmented world. Learn about his nonprofit, SoCal Tech Forum, and why building trust is essential for AI adoption at scale. transcript: 00:18 Welcome back to the Founder's Sandbox. The Founder's Sandbox is in its fourth season. I'm here, your host, Brenda McCabe, and I'm live this month's podcast is 00:31 from the Founders Space in Pasadena. And I'm joined with my guest, Chris Daden of Criteria Corp. um And a colleague of mine in the startup ecosystem. Welcome, Chris. Thanks for having me. I'm really excited to be here. So am I. So um I want to briefly give some background on the Founder Sandbox for those that are listening in today. um 00:56 Each episode features in-depth conversations with founders of small and mid-sized owner-operated companies and operators that support the ecosystem. And together, through storytelling, we explore how to build scalable, resilient, purpose-driven businesses with great corporate governance. And you're going to discover today with Chris, his origin story. I always like to start with how the person 01:24 that's a guest to my podcast, really started getting involved with the ecosystem of startups. And your story is quite fascinating. I'm gonna give a spoiler alert here. You and I met, I guess two years ago, at a Thai con event where you were on a panel. I was the MC em and we got to talking over dinner and just your origin story and the multiple exits you've had. 01:53 really um lit up a bulb in my mind. said, Chris, you have to be in my podcast. So it's two years later, and I'm so glad that we're making this happen. Lucky to be here. Thank you. forward to it. So this podcast, again, we're going to talk about a lot of things because Chris, not only are the CTO of Criteria Corp, a talent success company, where you help organizations meet objective evidence-based 02:23 talent decisions that both reduce the bias and drive better outcomes. But also, you're a two times 40 under 40. You've had multiple exits of prior companies. You're a speaker, a founder, a board member, and recently you started your own nonprofit in SoCal called the SoCal Tech Forum. 02:51 Oh, and I forgot you're a member of the Forbes Technology Council. we're going to have... Couldn't have said it better. Thank you, Brenda. So with that, again, my episodes on particularly Spotify, we have a title that's on each episode and we've chosen Scaling Work 4.0 for this month's podcast. Again, it's Chris Daden, CTO of Criteria. So let's start. What would you... 03:21 Call your tagline. Tell us about your origin here in Southern California. Sounds great. Well, just a little bit about myself personally. I've been in tech for ah quite a while now. It's really the only career I've ever had working in tech. So I started in my youth, frankly. My father was a member of the British Merchant Navy. you can imagine with that career involved, he traveled all around the world. uh 03:50 Also, of course, gave me lot of inspiration for the global companies that I run today and the teams that I've started around the world. So although my father wasn't directly in computer science, you know, that career of being in the merchant Navy definitely shaped my global perspective. when he stopped working in the merchant ship Navy as an officer, he started developing his own software for weather routing for large 04:21 merchant ships and container ships. So what was amazing about that was it was ran out of a spare bedroom in my parents' house just upstairs while I was growing up there. And uh we used to even have a rack of kind of four by four Dell just desktop computers that were stacked on top of each other with a switch to switch between them. And we're running the workload that my dad made with the software there on those computers. 04:51 It was very visible and evident in my childhood. My first kind of internship was maybe when I was 13 or so ah in the closet of that office. We pulled the doors off and put a desk in it and that was like my internship desk for the summer. started with programming in the dotnet ecosystem. So what year is that more or less? Yeah, it's probably like 2005, 2006. uh 05:21 So it uh was a great introductory language. Fun fact, there's a YouTube video online of me when I'm about that age doing a tutorial of how to make a calculator. So very few people have found that. I'll leave it to the public to find. But you can hear my very young 12-year-old voice in a YouTube video. it's still there. So anyway, that's part of my origin story for sure. That's what got me into computer science. 05:48 My first company, started my senior year of high school. I was aqua hired into an organization in Irvine. And then I got to join what I would call kind of a real company at that time. um One that had, you know, engineers around the globe working on solving problems and SAS for organizations of all kinds. So that's kind of where I kick started my career. I'm spending the next maybe eight to 10 years in Orange County building companies and 06:16 Now I find myself as the CTO of Criteria, which of course I'm not a founder of, but the energy that I like to bring to the team and the passion I have for what the next era of work has to offer gives me that founder-like energy. Yes. So um how long have you been with Criteria? Were you the first CTO? Were you an aqua hire? Tell us a little bit about that. Yeah, great question. So Criteria has a great history, almost 20 years of science and 06:46 um just developing a great core platform that's been used by thousands of customers around the world. I've been there as CTO for the last three and a half years. So when I joined, was right after acquisition of a couple companies in Australia that were great additions to our product portfolio. And one of my roles right away after joining was to help integrate those teams, finish retiring some of the technical debt that comes with acquisitions. um 07:15 really just all the excitement around building for the next chapter of criteria and making sure that I can contribute in my many ways to our success. So back to that tagline that due to your father's um origins in the Navy, m you have a wide global perspective. Tell me about those teams that you had in India before Criteria. 07:41 Yeah, look, I started doing business in India a little over 10 years ago. I was just reflecting on that last week. I had the luxury of visiting my team again. We also just created a new team for criteria. So I was able to go visit them. We all got together for the first time. It was a lot of fun. But about 10 years ago, I started in a city named Indore and that's in the state Madhya Pradesh. And when I started, it was a tier three city. And, you know, I really stumbled across 08:09 who is now my general manager for my last company. I stumbled across meeting him through like a development agency and we really hit it off and you know at the time I was 18 years old and you know was willing to take some risk I guess because I wanted to work with an engineer and had to build my product and company and you know what it's like being a scrappy founder and I just rolled the dice and said sure like 08:34 Why don't you come work for me full time? Let's find your friends as well and let's start a company together. And his name is Vikram. And to this day, he's still the general manager of my last company in automotive SaaS that I had recently exited in like 2021 timeframe. He's still operating that team. Company's going great. So that's been a lot of fun to see that success. But yeah, over a period of 10 years, it's become... 09:00 from a tier three to a tier two city. So things like basic infrastructure have been developed. So just so much fun and so much reflection there. I'm lucky to have, know, that's my, Criteria's new team is now my fourth India venture. So this is my fourth generation. Oh my goodness. It's a scaling work 4.0. So let's go back to Criteria. again, over dinner a couple years ago, 09:29 You started talking about how the science of finding talent is really the bedrock of criteria. And you've been there three and a half years. Talk to us about that, the talent and the science that is driving this company's technology and being used today in hiring across the world. Yeah, I think. 09:58 Hiring is one of those things that we don't always teach hiring managers or people in organizations. I think we were laughing about that. If you're, say, a great senior software engineer and you've been coding for 15 years or something, I think it's assumed that when you get promoted into, say, an engineering manager role, you're now going to be a great hiring manager. And I think hiring science is something that is often... 10:22 underappreciated in organizations, particularly startups and mid-market companies who may not have the resources, right? Because to be good at hiring science, you also have to invest resources in it, right? So really you don't see most really advanced hiring science or like, you know, psychology teams being involved in hiring until the enterprise level. for criteria, we're all about using technology to harness as many what we call talent signals as possible. So we have a 10:52 an assortment of assessment tests that can measure things like your cognitive ability, your adaptiveness, your personality fit to a job role. And we do that in rigorous and scientific ways. I think there are probably more ways to do hiring wrong than to do it correctly. And we take a lot of pride in making sure that our products are always designed to measure those talent signals and even compound them. So as you find 11:19 multiple talent signals across the life cycle of that pre-employment hiring engagement, you get a compounding, really almost like a talent blueprint of the person you're looking to hire, or maybe even like the candidate DNA of that person. And it gives you a depth of information and data about the likelihood they are to succeed for that specific job role you're hiring. And that's really, really valuable to us. And we can talk a bit about why 11:46 that matters more as we enter into this new era of work. Before we go there though, I'm fascinated. What types of talent can Criteria be used for in the hiring process? Is it across all verticals? mean, tell me a bit about that. Criteria is a pretty diverse company. So with 4,000 customers around the world, we are really present in maybe 20 different verticals. So that makes us pretty... 12:15 pretty broad in who can use us for hiring. So, you know, we joke around anything from, you know, hiring for truck drivers all the way to rocket scientists. Like there's customers across the whole spectrum in engineering, venture capital, uh you know, executive management, truck drivers for uh companies, uh frontline workers, all the way up to rocket scientists at companies. 12:45 So recently you were a keynote speaker in London and you provided your closing thoughts on AI in the workforce. So I'm going to steal your thunder right now because you gave this to me and set it up. So work 4.0 belongs to those who pair adaptive mindsets with distinctively, yeah, human skills. Workplace. 13:14 AI will be our most tireless colleague, but the future's real competitive edge is still human potential, continuously renewed. Wow, unpack that for my listeners. Because we're all getting a bit nervous about will we have job security, what do we need to do to retool, and is everybody suitable? Yeah, I think what's kind of amazing is 13:44 um You look at some reports from the World Economic Forum or other entities and they're saying things like by 2030, 39 % of skills related to kind of the current candidate applying in the workforce will be obsolete. Wow, that's a lot. That's a lot. It's almost half, right? And what's amazing about that is then what are we hiring for, right? Because the last few decades of us 14:12 hiring has been so focused on how many years of experience did you have, what degrees do you hold. And it doesn't mean for many people who, right, college is the best fit, getting a degree is the best fit for many people. But ah I think what it highlights is there's more to being workforce ready than only getting these static credentials. And for people like me, I've dropped out of college twice. Both times I had some... 14:41 transactional event with one of my businesses. And that was obviously the right choice for me, right? And I've reflected on that and I feel good about where I'm at and where I came from. But I think workforce readiness these days is going to continue to index on the more dynamic talent signals and the more dynamic credentials we have as opposed to static credentials. So what that means is my ability to think on my feet, critical thinking, adaptive reasoning. 15:11 Those are all things that we kind of measure, if at all, we measure them kind of secondarily in our current process. And these other core talents like digital fluency, AI literacy, self leadership, resilience, those are all things that are more of these dynamic credentials that we need to make sure we measure really, really well, because the reality is with the advent of AI in the work 15:40 place, hard skills are more immediately attainable. And what I mean by that is maybe if I'm hiring for an accountant role, I care more about is that accountant a strategic thinker? Do they understand the tax code to the right depth? Do they understand the strategy for valuation of the business? And then of course they have to click some buttons in QuickBooks or NetSuite or other systems. But I think AI is going to... 16:09 augment the hard skills of our workforce. And that's going to make us more index on the softer skills, emotional intelligence, the adaptability, right? Those dynamic credentials as opposed to how many years have you been clicking buttons in QuickBooks? And it will require, I guess, more critical thinking, right? True. Right? Because you will be your... uh 16:36 day-to-day job will be augmented by AI, leaving you time to upskill or to make those critical decisions, more, I don't know, avenues of strategic development in the company. that's right. Yeah, redeploy to higher value opportunities for sure. think if 30 to 40 % of your day is... 17:04 tasks that can be augmented with AI, then that 30 to 40 % of your human first excellence can be redeployed to other parts of the business. an example is at Criteria, we serve uh tens of millions of assessments, um about 10 to 12 million per year. And we have about five or six million candidates that come through that process. 17:31 when they need technical support or help with the software, they often reach out to our live chatbot. we at Criteria um want to make sure we prioritize a five-star candidate experience. So even though candidates aren't the ones paying for the service, our customers are, we know that our customer satisfaction is tightly linked to how satisfied our candidates are. Got it. uh 17:54 One of the things we had was thousands and thousands of tickets every month from those five million plus candidates coming into our support system. And what we were able to do was augment our support staff with uh AI chat bots that are trained on deep knowledge bases of criteria and past candidate issues and technical troubleshooting. we were able to achieve about a 94 % candidate ticket deflection, which is really, really massive. And it didn't mean that we 18:24 know, laid off half of our support team or something, it means that, you know, those support team members moved into other high value roles in the organization or were able to now redirect their energy to making long lasting materials like help docs and guides that can then further retrain the AI to make that even better. So that's just an example of augmentation of skill and then redeploying that human excellence to another part of the business to help you grow. So it has criteria use the same time. 18:54 methodology for their staff? For our staff, every single person at Criteria goes through our assessment products, of course. We drink our own champagne. I had to ask that question. I'm a little biased, but I think I didn't know about the category before joining Criteria. And again, with my origin story, I've hired hundreds of people around the world. And I will never run another team without using 19:22 a criteria talent success platform to hire those people. So I'm a firm believer and because I didn't know about it before and now I'm using it, it's a big gap in my knowledge. So I would say most of our market potential for criteria doesn't actually know that these tools exist. A lot of them have a retention challenge or they're having an issue hiring the right people and people like me before I joined criteria don't actually know that this tool set is available. part of my mission is to... 19:51 make sure that startups and founders and mid-market companies are aware that this is available because it solves a big problem for us building the best teams. so uh last plug for Criterion, then we're going to move on in the interview here. uh How do um customers experience Criterion? How do they uh get onboarded? mean, what is it, the HR department? Where does, where's the origin? Yeah, really great. So 20:19 We call ourselves a talent success platform because we help people pre-hire with our assessments and video interviewing products. And that's normally the HR talent acquisition leader. So someone who's in charge of recruitment for a company or essentially all the pre-employment functions. And then because we have this rich data set that comes from those pre-employment activities, we have a post-hire product that we call Develop by Criteria. And Develop is designed to use all of that psychometric data 20:48 weekly check-ins with your employees, uh frameworks for behavior to help grow those team members after they're hired using all of that data and science. So a lot of our customers experience criteria on the pre-employment side and then continue to follow through on the post-employment side with our develop product. Wow. Is there patent protection with all of the science that you have developed over the years? I think there's obviously copyright. 21:17 um of our assessment tests. think patents and software are inherently tricky, but we feel really good about the protection of our IP. Excellent, excellent. So let's switch gears. um I met you at the TICON. um You haven't been our keynote speaker yet, but you have moderated panels, and I've seen you in other events. Tell us about what do you enjoy, what do you like to talk about when you're keynote speaker? 21:47 For me, it's just such an honor to share my learnings as an entrepreneur, as an executive with the world. I still am in this phase where when I give a keynote or moderate a panel, it doesn't really feel like a real thing. It just feels like another discussion for me. That's just kind of my style. I just think that the world stays connected by sharing information like that. And for me, 22:16 I'm lucky to be at the convergence of 20 years of Criteria's product, helping people make hiring decisions and this once in a lifetime emergence of generative AI intersecting with our workforce skills. So I talk a lot about that. Of course, I'm building my own teams to build the Criteria software and platform. 22:42 So I'm also thinking about what is next for my team, how do I upscale and enable? And then of course I'm talking to our thousands of customers on a regular basis trying to make sure that we are leaders in the industry. those are areas I really love talking about. I'm an engineer at heart as well. So I tend to be quite good at bridging kind of the commercial and business side with like core engineering. So I have a deep background in 23:11 AI and ML um even more traditionally prior to the generative AI boom and now even more so post generative AI boom. We're applying generative AI in ways that um we are on the frontier fine tuning models for our uh really predictive models at criteria. So those are all areas I love to talk about and it's really an honor to be able to share that with people no matter the forum. Well maybe there'll be a podcast episode two with Chris on this. 23:41 What about, you you love to share, I don't know where you find the time. You've recently started a nonprofit, the SoCal Tech Forum. So share with my audience the types of activities, where's the venue, who is gathered, and what made you start a nonprofit, right? Yeah, it's a great question. I didn't know I would be starting a nonprofit either, but that tends to be how these things go. 24:11 It's been just a journey. ah We started off as a meetup group. my goal for the meetup group was in the Inland Empire specifically here in Southern California, we don't have many tech meetups. I'm of course networked well in Orange County and Los Angeles. And I think that particularly with these technologies that are 24:35 in our day-to-day life, it's very important that we build community around information and knowledge sharing so we can all learn and get up to speed on AI. A lot of business owners are going through transitions with their workforce, with their team that just were never really imagined. for us, we started this meetup group in the Inland Empire because there was definitely a market gap in getting together. I started off 25:02 paying for and hosting the events, breakfast, etc. And we had so much good interest. had sponsors that decided to volunteer to support, starting with a company called Clutch Coffee and Rancho Cucamonga, who has a deep history of roasting coffee and brewing technology in Rancho. And uh we've since got some other great partners to support us. And in just a little under two years, we've... 25:30 surpassed 750 members in the group. uh that was the reason once we started getting sponsors involved that it made sense to have a 501c3 nonprofit formed. And we have a leadership board now, which I'm really proud of. And we host an event at least once every month on the first Saturday of every month. And they're always technology or technology adjacent topics. They always involve. 25:56 technical and non-technical folks, business owners, entrepreneurs, startups. yeah, it's been really fun. Again, an opportunity to funnel and give back to the community and teach people about disruptive technologies. Well, you heard it here on the Founder's Sandbox, the SoCal Tech Forum. It will be in the show notes, all right, how to um get involved and perhaps attend one of those Saturday meetings. um I wanted to give you an opportunity. 26:25 to provide how people can best contact you, either for speaking opportunities, a CTO of Criteria, the nonprofit. How is it best to contact you, Chris? Yeah, I'd love to hear from you. So you can contact me on LinkedIn. So linkedin.com slash in slash Chris Dayden. All one word. And you can learn more about me as a speaker or CTO of Criteria at chrissdayden.com. excellent. 26:56 have that in the show notes. All right, I want to bring you back to the Founders Sandbox, all right, which is the platform and the podcast. I really get excited about um this part of the podcast. um I work with my clients on resiliency, um scalability, and purpose-driven, right? All with great corporate governance. I always like to ask my guests what... 27:24 the meaning of each of those three words has for them. And each of my guests has a different oh interpretation. And it's just a lot of fun to listen to what I resiliency, what's resiliency for you? I think it's appropriate that I answer that in light of kind of work 4.0. So for me, when it comes to resiliency in work 4.0, um it's about the art of constantly reinventing yourself. 27:53 but in faster cycles. And I think what's really important to everyone is that in Work 4.0, hard skills can become obsolete quicker than before. And that reinvention is critical to really being resilient in this new market. How about scalable? You've scaled a couple of companies, you've been an aqua hire. What does scalable mean to you, Chris? In Work 4.0, scalable will mean 28:22 adequately augmenting the talent you have in humans in your organization with the ability to harness the true power of AI and to do that without losing culture or trust. I think many organizations think of the first half of that. Very few of the organizations can execute on human plus agentic AI and also maintain trust. 28:51 and without losing culture. Have you seen any best practices? This is a little bit off script in terms of companies that have, or are scaling, right? Because this is just scaling pretty quickly in the last year or so. Sure. And are there any best practices out there in building that trust? Yeah, I think having a real holistic AI strategy is key. 29:18 One main component of a holistic AI strategy is how can you get tools to the fingertips of every staff member in your organization so that it's embedded in their workflow? Because a lot of the top-down AI strategy from organizations, like a CEO says, you must use AI and we must be 25 % more efficient, is really shallow when it comes to strategy. And it very rarely results in a culture 29:48 sustaining in a company for this AI growth and augmentation. So what I've been really impressed by is, you know, when I host things like AI monthly global office hours at Criteria, or I host one-on-one sessions with employees to learn about how they're using AI, because you're able to push those tools down to your team members and let them use it in a safe and comfortable area, it allows you to see what people creatively do with AI. And most of the time, 30:17 I could say there's probably 60 or 70 % of use cases that I would never have expected my staff to use AI for, and I would have been the bottleneck of creating if they were waiting for me to do it, and instead give them a safe experimentation zone. And I think that is key to a sustaining AI strategy for So your best practice is actually a criteria from what I'm hearing here. And it's very becoming because I'd like to talk about playfulness in the sandbox, right? 30:46 I read recently, was an EY um study, I think it was this last week, that about 40 % of employees that are forced to use AI tools give up after a month. They don't see the utility in their day-to-day tasks they're doing. So there is something to what you just said, building trust, but building it from the bottom up, right? Yeah, I resonate with that for sure. And I think the only way people break that barrier 31:16 is by seeing their colleagues successful with it. Very rarely is a demo from an executive leader going to be, I mean, it might be enough to begin a culture of AI. Like I had to do a lot of demos and show people kind of the art of the possible. And then as soon as I saw pockets of AI intelligence in the organization, the quicker you can elevate those people to lead and present their findings, the faster... 31:45 you build up kind of the natural human competition between your team and everybody all of a sudden will get more behind it. And that's really important. I think you've reached a point of success in your AI strategy when you were once leading the AI learning sessions and now you are not. How cool is that? You heard it here in the founder sandbox. All right. Purpose driven. What's a purpose driven enterprise for you? I think that 32:12 This is timely based on our discussion just now where organizations need to harness AI at the right times. think purpose for criteria, for example, means how do we measure talent signals that are able to give us the best candidate blueprint or the best candidate DNA possible? And for us, 32:40 every single day, regardless of the technology, what fuels us is having that purpose-driven statement of collecting talent signals around the world for any team. And you really do get lost in that sometimes, for good and for worse, when you're just trying to collect as many talent signals as you can. And being purpose-driven means always doing the right thing when it comes to that. 33:09 mission statement that you've set. And for us, it's collecting talent signals. I think that AI can do that well in a lot of areas, but AI can also be very dangerous in those areas. So when it comes to Work 4.0, having that purpose-driven enterprise statement is very, very important because it anchors us for our new product development. It anchors us for how we're using new technology to help people make the best teams. 33:39 Going back to that, to build the trust, we might clip this out, um does criteria maintain a group of scientists to actually peel back the layers and make meaning out of the signals that you are capturing to create new signals? That's one question. The second is, does criteria have an ethicist on board? 34:08 on call or how do you ensure there is guardrails around talent signals? Yeah, those are really great questions. think for criteria, when we say we're rooted in science, it wouldn't mean very much if it was just a bunch of engineers and product managers kind of deciding what science is, right? So for us, we take a lot of pride in our product IO psychology team. So a lot of them are 34:37 industrial organizational psychologists by trade that are working full time for criteria. And their role is assessment development, assessment validation. uh And particularly in the light of fine tuning AI models, they are very, very hands on in creation of those models, validating those models. There's a lot of legislation we have to comply with, not only the normal data privacy stuff like GDPR and CCPA, but also 35:07 industry specific laws like the New York bias laws and others that help protect uh candidates as they are applying for roles. So that is very, very near and dear to our heart. And also we conduct adverse impact studies and we do case studies with customers to make sure that the product is uh behaving the way that they intended to behave. 35:32 You know, we've got norms for all of our assessments and we adjust those norms based on massive populations of data. So all of that is how we ensure scientific signal. This is amazing. Last question. Did you have fun in the Founder Sandbox today, Chris? I had a lot of fun in the Founder Sandbox. Really a pleasure. Thank you for having me. Thank you, Chris. So to my listeners, if you like this episode with the CTO of Criteria, Chris Daden. 36:02 Sign up for the monthly release for more podcasts where I have business owners, professional service providers, and corporate board directors who are all working to build with strong governance, resilience, scalable, and purpose-driven companies. Thank you. Signing off.

This week's deep dive provides a broad overview of global cybersecurity challenges and evolving technological threats, with a particular focus on the impact of Artificial Intelligence. Several articles highlight the growing danger of autonomous AI-driven malware and the use of sophisticated AI tools for cybercrime, while other reports detail the security vulnerabilities and breaches suffered by prominent entities, such as the US Congressional Budget Office and the Louvre Museum's poorly protected surveillance system. Furthermore, the sources examine new privacy risks associated with AI, including how encrypted AI chats can leak topic metadata and how platforms like ChatGPT may have exposed user prompts through Google Search Console. Finally, the texts discuss geopolitical efforts to address network security, such as the EU considering a ban on certain Chinese telecom equipment, alongside proposed changes to EU privacy regulations (GDPR) that critics fear could weaken consumer protections in the digital era.

The expiration of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) on September 30, 2025, has resulted in a notable decline in U.S. cyber defense capabilities, with a reported drop of over 70% in the sharing of threat indicators. This lapse has created a legal and operational vacuum, leading to increased delays in alert dissemination and a rise in cyber threats, particularly in critical sectors such as healthcare and energy. Federal agencies and private companies are now hesitant to report incidents without the liability protections that CISA previously provided, resulting in a fragmented response to cyber threats.In response to the growing concerns over cybersecurity, the U.S. Congress has included a provision in the federal government shutdown legislation to extend CISA through the end of January 2026. This extension is crucial for facilitating the sharing of threat data between businesses and government agencies. Meanwhile, the Cybersecurity and Resilience Bill introduced in the UK mandates that medium and large IT management and cybersecurity service providers comply with minimum security standards, reflecting a shift towards greater accountability in protecting critical infrastructure.Additionally, Microsoft and 1Password are advancing passwordless technology, with Microsoft enabling the syncing of passkeys across devices and 1Password integrating a new native Passkeys plugin API for Windows 11. These developments aim to enhance user convenience and security, signaling a shift away from traditional password reliance. EasyDMARC has also launched Touchpoint, an AI-driven sales enablement tool for MSPs, while Enable has introduced a cyber warranty program offering financial protection for cyber incidents.For MSPs and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the importance of adapting to evolving cybersecurity regulations and technologies. The expiration of CISA highlights the need for private networks and MSPs to fill the intelligence gap left by government agencies. As compliance requirements tighten in the UK and the U.S., MSPs that can navigate these changes and assist clients in maintaining security and compliance will find significant opportunities in a rapidly changing landscape. Three things to know today00:00 U.S. Cyber Defense Falters as CISA Act Expires, Threat Sharing Plummets 70% Amid Budget Cuts04:35 Compliance Crossroads: New EU, UK, and U.S. Rules Reshape Data Protection and Cybersecurity for MSPs09:42 Vendors Push Simpler, Smarter Security: Microsoft Syncs Passkeys, N-able Adds Cyber Warranty, EasyDMARC Targets MSP Sales This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship
