Interpreting India
Izumi Nakamitsu on Exploring the Geopolitics of Technology: Insights into Military Applications of AI

Interpreting India

There are similarities between the UN's efforts to pursue a disarmament strategy for nuclear weapons and the regulation of the military applications of AI. Given the multiple parallel initiatives on this issue, inputs would also have to be gathered from a range of stakeholders already working on the issue, such as the REAIM participants, the United States, and other countries, in order to regulate AI in the military domain. The private sector has a role here to drive governance on this topic as well, given that most of the technology emanates from their R&D efforts. Here, more regulation should not be seen as a roadblock to innovation; instead, it can accelerate it. This is because empirically-based regulations would allow the adoption of such AI systems to be faster. The lack of any such regulation could even lead to undesirable outcomes, which may hamper the growth of the industry.  In this episode of Interpreting India, Izumi Nakamitsu joins Konark Bhandari to discuss the military applications of AI.EPISODE CONTRIBUTORSIzumi Nakamitsu assumed her position as under-secretary-general and high representative for disarmament affairs on May 1, 2017. Prior to taking on this post, she served as assistant administrator of the Crisis Response Unit at the United Nations Development Programme since 2014. She has many years of experience within and outside the UN system, most recently as special adviser ad interim on follow-up to the Summit on Addressing Large Movements of Refugees and Migrants between 2016 and 2017. She was previously director of the Asia and the Middle East Division of the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations between 2012 and 2014 and director of the Department's Division of Policy, Evaluation and Training from 2008 to 2012. She holds a Master of Science degree in foreign service from Georgetown University in Washington, DC, and a Bachelor of Law degree from Waseda University, Tokyo.Konark Bhandari is a fellow with Carnegie India. He is a lawyer who has researched certain areas in the digital economy, focusing primarily on approaches to antitrust regulation of companies in the digital realm. He had earlier worked at India's antitrust regulator, the Competition Commission of India (CCI), where he worked closely with senior officials on a variety of matters.

During its October 7 invasion, Hamas terrorists slaughtered more than one thousand civilians in Israel. Its horrific acts of terror on that day also included mass rape, pillaging, the desecration of corpses, hostage-taking, and other unspeakable atrocities. Hamas has openly stated that it aims to repeat these brutalities again and again and again.But why? What does Hamas want?According to its founding charter, Hamas predicates its existence on the annihilation of Israel and extermination of the Jewish people. Yes, there's a word for that: genocide.As for a two-state solution, Hamas has consistently rejected such an idea. And if you think that's just a bargaining ploy, you're dead wrong.Because Hamas has an ideology or, more accurately, a theology.Edmund Husain is an expert this as it pertains to Hamas.

#67 Stevie Delahunt: She Calls Them "Spicy Memories"

My guest for this next episode is Stevie Delahunt. This podcast is going to be a very different episode. When you get into it, you'll notice that we just started recording. There wasn't this moment where I went, "Stevie, welcome to the podcast," because we just started talking the minute we got on Zoom together. Here's the background. In the 24 hours before Stevie and I were scheduled to record, she discovered that her horse, Captain America, had severely lacerated his front left leg in the pasture. There was a big decision to be made. Was it even something that could be recoverable? She had spent the last 24 hours working with him to determine what to do. The vets eventually took four hours to stich him up and put him back together. Given all that, I started this podcast by saying, "Stevie, we can just talk. We don't have to do a podcast; maybe you just need an ear for what you've been going through." She started talking, and I hit record because we just got right into it. What you're going to hear in this podcast is two people having a very rich discussion about how to deal with adversity and pressure, including things like having our horse cut their leg and all the other things that we might call trauma.  She calls those things productive struggle, or spicy memories.Stevie is all about helping people deal with difficult situations. Let me tell you a little bit about her. Stevie Delahunt graduated Michigan State University with two degrees and an intent to pursue law school at Georgetown University where she had been accepted. She switched gears and went to the French Pastry School of Chicago to learn how to do wedding cakes and set up shop in the Windy City. While in Chicago she learned of the worlds toughest horse race, the Mongol Derby, and she again let life guide her into constant change. On the other side of successfully completing the Mongol Derby she took a job with a start up company in Rhode Island and learned coding and marketing for the online business.  The endeavor in the world of start-ups gave her strong leadership skills and an education in business models she applied to starting her second and current business of horse related retreats. Stevie's current business encompasses several facets of the horse world including beginner riding instruction, advanced Bootcamp style retreats for riders wishing to participate in difficult horse riding survival races around the world, horse shoeing, and endurance racing with horses which includes doing the worlds toughest one day one hundred mile horse race; the Tevis Cup.  Stevie believes that adversity is a necessary part of life and being prepared for adversity as well as creating it for oneself is essential and is a tool she uses in teaching both horses and humans, both young and old.

EPISODE 1876: In this KEEN ON show, Andrew talks to Bulent Atalay, author of BEYOND GENIUS, about how Shakespeare, Da Vinci, Newton, Beethoven and Einstein all shared the same kind of transgressive mindsDescribed by the Washington Post, Smithsonian Magazine, NPR and PBS as a “Modern Renaissance Man,” Bulent Atalay is a scientist, artist and author. After his participation in a scientifically incongruous archaeological expedition to Mt. Ararat in Eastern Turkey — one in which the late astronaut James Irwin was also a member — the Washington Post carried the story, “Indiana Atalay and the Search for the Ark.” With roots in Turkey and England, Atalay now resides in the United States. His grandfather was a Turkish military officer who survived the Battle of Gallipoli in WWI, only to die while fighting against Lawrence of Arabia in 1916. His father was a military officer and diplomat who served as diplomatic courier to European capitals during WWII, and subsequently held successive assignments as military attaché to London, Paris, and Washington. Read "A Tribute to Kemal Atalay." He received his early schooling at Eton in England and St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Delaware, the institution which served as the site of the 1989 Robin Williams film, Dead Poets Society. He went into physics by accident when a secretary in the admissions office at Georgetown University read his intended career as "physicist" instead of "physician," and he stayed in physics when he found he had latent interest in the field. His advanced education includes BS, MS, MA, PhD and postdoctoral studies, completed at Georgetown, Princeton, University of California-Berkeley, and Oxford University. A professor of physics in Virginia now, he has previously been a member of the Department of Theoretical Physics at the University of Oxford, as well as the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where Einstein spent the last twenty-five years of his life. An accomplished artist, Atalay has presented his works in one-man exhibitions in London and Washington, and his two books of lithographs — Lands of Washington and Oxford and the English Countryside — can be found in the permanent collections of Buckingham Palace, the Smithsonian, and the White House. Ten years after its release by Smithsonian Books in April 2004, his best selling book, Math and the Mona Lisa, has had numerous printings in English, and appeared in thirteen languages. His last book, Leonardo's Universe, coauthored with former student Keith Wamsley, was released by National Geographic Books in 2009, and declared "... one of ten must-have books for the year," by the Britannica Blog writer. It has appeared in English and Japanese. In April, 2019, the National Geographic Society released the book as a "bookazine," abridged to 25,000 words with the title Leonardo da Vinci: Celebrating the Renaissance Man. Atalay's most recent book, Beyond Genius, identifying the common qualities and conditions crucial in producing Leonardo, Shakespeare, Newton, Beethoven, and Einstein,” five "transformative geniuses," who redefined their respective fields, is scheduled for release on November 7, 2023 by Pegasus Books.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.

Jeanne Jacobwitz is a nurse practitioner and an adjunct professor at Georgetown University and New York University in the Graduate Midwifery and Women's Health programs. She believes that mental, physical, and financial health are interconnected. After losing her husband and experiencing her own grief journey, she co-founded The W Connection, a nonprofit providing support for widowed individuals. Jeanne joins Stacy Francis on this Financially Ever After Widowhood episode to discuss how prolonged stress impacts overall well-being. They also explore the concept of "broken heart syndrome" and the importance of self-advocacy.  Dealing with ongoing stress from grief can seriously affect your physical health, leading to problems like heart issues, a weaker immune system, diabetes, and osteoporosis. It's important for healthcare providers to recognize that mourning is a health risk. Acute grief, often known as "broken heart syndrome," can cause real physical changes similar to a heart attack. It's crucial to identify it quickly. Feeling lonely can have a negative effect on your health, and being a widow often means more isolation. Joining community groups can make widows feel more connected. Widows should speak up for their own health by asking for more doctor visits and focusing on self-care, even when they feel tired and overwhelmed. Finding the right healthcare provider is important. Doing things that boost the "happiness hormone" oxytocin, like laughing, dancing, and hugging, can help you manage stress. Even simple acts like smiling more can make a big difference. Financial struggles add more stress, and most widows start retirement with fewer resources than average. This makes it even more important to stay vigilant about your health. The W Connection offers online support groups, workshops, webinars, and in-person meetups for widows. Being part of this community can help reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness. Taking proactive care of yourself and getting clinical support can significantly improve your long-term well-being.

Steve's Bio Steve Banks is the Founder and President of Banks Sports Ventures., a sports management company which represents and guides the careers of professional athletes. Prior to re-establishing BSV, he served as CEO of ShotTek Inc., a sports technology wearables company and the creators of Peace Shooter, the world's first smart shot trainer (or real-time-feedback shot trainer) for basketball players. As a consultant with ShotTek, “I saw the long-term goal and the vision of Larry Peterson, Founder and President of ShotTek”. Having served in several roles as Steve's professional career has continued to evolve, Eli Lilly was a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of the sports world. Steve worked for Eli Lilly in the Diabetes Unit facilitating presentations for Endocrinologist's, Primary Care Physicians, and clinic staff, bringing awareness to all of the benefits our diabetic medications provide. In 2015 while working at New York Life his first child was born, in which the decision was made to take a couple of years off after a two-year stint as a Life Insurance Executive. “My time there was an amazing ride, having been recognized as the Top Performer in the African American Unit, 2014 “Rookie of the Year”, and the culmination of it all was receiving the Ben Feldman “Life Excellence Award” which is considered the Heisman Trophy of the life insurance industry.” Before joining New York Life, Steve was a successful sports agent having worked with the likes of Gary Payton, Rodney Stuckey, Kevin Durant, Jamal Crawford, Dwight Howard, DeMar DeRozan, and Isaiah Thomas to name a few. His main reason for wanting to be in the Sports Management industry was he saw a need that was not being met by most agents, and that was a lack of education & empowerment of African American athletes. In representing athletes, it was important for Steve to make an IMPACT off the court.  If you were to speak with any of the athletes that he's worked with, they would tell you that Steve always promoted LEGACY and using your platform to create an eco-system of business minded individuals!!! “Legacy is powerful, and more often than not, it is easily overlooked and as a sports agent, I have an obligation to look out for not only their best-interest, but also their families.” In life, sometimes there is a higher calling, and I was always taught that when called upon, you must be obedient. As a sports agent, it was hard to be in a world where you often need to keep your inner circle small, not knowing who was looking out for you, so I made the decision to walk away. The beauty of this story is that Steve Banks is back where he belongs and will make an IMPACT in the lives of the athletes that have a desire to be great. “Being able to incorporate my values, standards, morals into my work are what truly drives me to lead.” In his free time, Steve serves on the Board of Trustee's for The Bush School. He volunteers with members of his fraternity – Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated. Steve also serves on the board of Baseball Beyond Borders, a non-profit organization that uses baseball as a platform to engage inner-city youth, while developing a passion for education and developing life skills. As a Black man, it is critical that he dedicates time to mentoring and supporting the upcoming generation of young people. Steve received his Bachelor of Science from Eastern Oregon University, where he was a student athlete. He is also a graduate of Georgetown University where he received his Masters of Sports Industry Management. Steve, his wife Maryjane and their two sons live in the Central District area of Seattle.  We talked about the following and other items  The Bush School  Becoming a sports agent Legacy The power of visualization Making an impact Banks Sports Ventures  Steve's Social Media Steve's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bankssports/  Steve's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bankssportsventures/  Steve's Twitter: https://twitter.com/BSportsVentures Steve's Advice I've recently been talking to some people about investments.

This episode marks the first in a new On the Issues series: “Collateral Damage.” In these episodes, we probe where news typically falls off, and its neglect of the impact of war on women. The crises of sexual violence they face, which is a deliberate tactic in war. We examine maternal and reproductive health, the role of women in peacekeeping, and so much more. In this episode, we start with health and why it's sacred and must be protected even in war, delving into issues of bioethics and health care during conflict. In times of war, who protects the patients, the mothers, the babies?  Are there bridges too far that shouldn't be crossed, even in war? Joining us to discuss these crucial matters is a very special guest:Larry Gostin: Professor Larry Gostin co-directs the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law and is a  university professor and the Founding O'Neill Chair in Global Health Law at Georgetown University. He is also the Director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Center on National and Global Health Law. Check out this episode's landing page at MsMagazine.com for a full transcript, links to articles referenced in this episode, further reading and ways to take action.Tips, suggestions, pitches?

Today's episode is going to be a little bit different than our past episodes: I'm actually going to interview two friends of mine, two colleagues, that are going to share their perspective on collaboration. Miranda Holder is an Executive Coach (and my own personal coach) that has a background in sport. She was a three-sport athlete in High School and then she found Rowing in College where she competed at an elite, high level. She then became a Rowing Coach and ended up becoming the Head Rowing Coach at Georgetown University. That journey of becoming a Rowing Coach ended up leading her to become an Executive Coach. Today, she spends a lot of time working with people in all walks of life in the corporate space, and she considers herself to be an insight wizard. She helps people see themselves in their situation more clearly, and for the people brave enough to do the work, there's an incredible leader, person, and idea ready to surface. She loves to work with people on being the best leader or CEO that they can be while also taking risk to start a company or refusing to settle into a career path that doesn't elicit joy and excitement. She loves helping people unlock their potential and at her core, she loves coaching. Grace Aduroja Kolker is a friend of mine, someone I look up to, and someone who I consider to be a mentor. Grace is a coach and someone who is extremely wise when it comes to things like communication, emotional intelligence, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and decision making. She is someone who I personally have sent many friends to to get coached. She is someone who facilitates dialogue with me on a regular basis and helps me be the best version of myself. Grace is a lawyer by trade, but she also has a journalism background. She is somebody who has had to ask questions for legal purposes, had to ask questions as a journalist, and as somebody who is just ridiculously curious. Grace is amazingly inquisitive and is a leadership coach. She is someone who holds space for people, develops people, and also facilitates conversations in group experiences. Grace is someone who I look up to, someone who makes me wiser and better at my job, and we often co-facilitate together. Additionally, she has a high-potential accelerator where she will work with individuals one-on-one.   Here's a quick summary and some key takeaways from this conversation: In today's episode, Brian, Grace, and Miranda discussed the paradox of autonomy and collaboration, the importance of collaboration, and its challenges and benefits. Additionally, they emphasized the importance of vulnerability, fulfillment, and clear communication in collaboration. Brian acknowledged his struggle with receiving help and understanding others' strengths. The group also discussed the need to work on aspects of collaboration to enhance teamwork and productivity. More specifically, Grace and Miranda had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together” (12:00) – Grace “The question of ‘Why?' is less important to me than ‘Where do we go from here?'” (17:20) – Miranda “I work on my own because I don't like working for other people” (18:10) – Miranda “Being in that energy of receiving can be really difficult” (22:45) – Miranda “One of my weaknesses is I don't allow people to contribute to me” (25:15) – Grace “There is a vulnerability [to collaboration]” (26:40) – Grace “I love being accountable and there's a lot I'm accountable for. But I don't want to be responsible for it all” (29:10) – Grace “People who deliver excellence deliver excellence across the board” (32:50) – Grace “The body [has] the ability to sense and be with the complexity of multiple experiences and multiple feelings and sensations” (48:215) – Miranda “I want to be tested and see if I'm good enough more than I want to avoid the discomfort of the challenge” (49:40) – Miranda “As you mature, you start from a place of dependence” (1:02:55) – Grace “That ability to sink into interdependence is so powerful” (1:05:35) – Miranda “The relationship matters to me more than anything else” (1:17:40) – Grace “You've got to do you own work first” (1:18:10) – Grace Thank you so much to Grace and Miranda for coming on the podcast!

What is the belief of ordinary Catholics around the Eucharist? That is a harder question to answer that it might at first seem. You could put forward two options and ask a respondent if they believe this or that. But it is not easy to phrase those options correctly, nor is it easy to ensure that your respondent understands what you are trying to ask. Belief in the Eucharist is not easy, and neither is asking about it.A new study commissioned by the McGrath Institute for Church Life and conducted by CARA at Georgetown University attempts to get closer to the real Eucharistic beliefs of ordinary Catholics. More precision was put into the questions and possible answers, an opportunity was given for open-ended responses, and sustained reflection on all the responses yielded some more textured findings than previous national studies produced. Today, I talk with my colleague, Dr. Tim O'Malley, about this new study, its findings and their significance for renewing Eucharistic belief in the Church. Tim published an article on this study in the Church Life Journal under the title“The Theological Foundations of Eucharistic Beliefs: A New National Study.”Follow-up Resources: ●     “Eucharist Beliefs: A National Survey of Adult Catholics,” study by CARA at Georgetown University, commissioned by the McGrath Institute for Church Life●     “The Theological Foundations of Eucharistic Beliefs: A New National Study”, article in Church Life Journal by Timothy O'MalleyChurch Life Today is a partnership between the McGrath Institute for Church Life at the University of Notre Dame and OSV Podcasts from Our Sunday Visitor.

Moore had a vision for redefining what heights a great American Whisky could reach. He unfortunately passed away while the distillery was being built, but his wife, Angela, and son, Gareth, inherited his vision, and have built the business in pursuit of George's vision. Staffed by a local Virginia team and mentored by Scottish consultants with decades of experience, Virginia Distillery Company is the largest, independently owned American Single Malt whisky distillery in the U.S. The distillery has an annual production volume of 80,000 4.5L cases and growing. At full capacity, the distillery can produce over 8,000 casks yielding 350,000 4.5L cases annually. The distillery distills, matures and bottles everything on-site in Lovingston, VA. Virginia Distillery Co. produces the most awarded American Single Malt whisky brand, Courage & Conviction, on-site using malted barley from North America and water from Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. In addition, the distillery offers the award-winning VHW series, made with 100% malted barley, blending together both American and Scotch whiskies, showcasing both Old and New World whisky-making. About Gareth H. Moore, CEO Gareth serves as CEO and carries on his father George's legacy and commitment to creating an exceptional American Single Malt.

Moore, a native Irishman, had a vision of producing world class single malt whisky in America. With his untimely passing, his wife and son inherited his vision, and are compelled by George's often used expression, “Have the courage of your convictions.” Using the highest quality malted barley and fresh spring water fed from the Blue Ridge Mountains, our spirit develops in Virginia's dynamic climate, allowing the broad temperature shifts to add depth to our whisky. We let the whisky tell us when it's done, and when it is, it's one that George would have been proud of.

In fact I recently posted via a Tweet, "What's at #conflict here? It is one thing to be #american and have #freedomofspeech and #freedomofexpression. Which means you get to criticize and provide negative opinions about anything or anyone irrespective of how sanctimonious others may perceive a thing. Then there is #Antisemitism, which is tantamount to #HateSpeech. But critiquing is not #hate yet we seem to be confusing the two. Then there is #hate which is a #freeemotion but when put into words is a crime, yet speech is free. However, it is the acting out that hate into violence that is not acceptable. People cannot be prevented from hating and promoting their hate. That's #american, to speak one's mind which is what makes us #exceptional?

What the Hell Is Going On

What do Critical Race Theory and antisemitism have in common? A lot, actually, from the roots of each movement, to the ideology, to the way they are weaponized by the left today. The overarching philosophy linking these movements together is a Manichean ordering of peoples into groups of oppressed or oppressor – usually, but not always, based on the color of one's skin. Indeed, it is no mistake that in the aftermath of WWII, Jews sought to categorize themselves as white, a move that has now fed the bizarre oppressor/colonizer trope so popular on the left. First Jews weren't white enough for the white supremacists, but now are too white for the CRT crowd. Not to mention the shifting ideological assaults on Jewish groups, once accused of being communists now accused of being capitalists. Yes, donors are pulling out of universities that harbor pro-terrorist groups; yes, the support of Hamas the past few weeks has been a PR disaster for wokeism.
