    Nick Oldham is the Chief Operations Officer, USIS, and Global Chief Risk, Privacy and Compliance Officer at Equifax Inc. A forward-thinking legal and operations executive, Nick has a proven track record of driving large-scale transformations by integrating legal expertise with strategic operational leadership. He oversees all enterprise-wide second-line functions, leading initiatives to embed AI, enable data-driven decision-making, and deliver innovative, compliant solutions across a $1.9B business unit. His focus is on building efficient, scalable systems that align with both compliance standards and long-term strategic goals. In this episode… Many companies are rushing to adopt AI tools without adequately training their workforce on how to use them responsibly. As AI becomes embedded in daily business operations, the biggest risk isn't the technology itself, but the lack of human understanding around how AI works and what it can do. When teams struggle to understand the differences between machine learning and generative AI, it creates risks and makes it harder to establish appropriate privacy and security guardrails. Human training is AI's greatest weakness and strength, and closing that gap involves rethinking how companies educate and train employees at every level.  The responsible use of AI depends on human judgment. Companies need to embed privacy education, critical thinking, and AI risk awareness into training programs from the start. Employees should be taught how to ask questions, evaluate model behavior, and recognize when personal information is being misused. AI literacy should also extend beyond the workplace. Introducing it in high school or even earlier helps prepare future professionals to navigate complex AI tools and make thoughtful, responsible decisions. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Nick Oldham, Chief Operations Officer, USIS, and Global Chief Risk, Privacy and Compliance Officer at Equifax, about the role of human training in AI literacy. Nick breaks down the components of AI literacy, explains why everyone needs a foundational understanding, and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing privacy awareness when using AI tools. He also highlights ways to embed privacy and security into AI governance programs and provides actionable steps organizations can take to strengthen AI literacy across teams.

    What Would Online Age Verification Mean for Speech, Privacy, and Youth Online Safety? Examining the Potential Impact of Recent Legal Cases and Proposed Legislation

    A new wave of age-verification laws for app stores and internet services like social media have been proposed at both state and federal levels. These laws raise pressing constitutional concerns about privacy, free speech, and the proper role of government in regulating online behavior. The Supreme Court decided Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, a pivotal case challenging a requirement that users verify their age, such as by uploading government-issued identification, to access online adult content. While well-meaning adults may want to protect young people from certain harms both online and off, these proposals could also threaten to chill lawful speech, compromise privacy, and set dangerous precedents. Requiring age verification for online content could open the door to broader government controls over political speech and dissent. These burdens are felt not only by “Big Tech” but also by smaller companies that may be providing services for more specific communities. Furthermore, it's unclear if these proposals will actually improve online safety. Are there alternative approaches that can balance the concerns of parents with the freedoms of users of all ages and the benefits of innovation? How should courts, policymakers, and parents weigh the potential trade-offs between the benefits and risks for kids and teens online? This event will explore the legal, technological, and ethical implications of age-verification laws. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Helen Nissenbaum, a philosopher, is a professor at Cornell Tech and in the Information Science Department at Cornell University. She is director of the Digital Life Initiative at Cornell Tech, which was launched in 2017 to explore societal perspectives surrounding the development and application of digital technology. Her work on contextual privacy, trust, accountability, security, and values in technology design led her to work with collaborators on projects such as TrackMeNot, a tool to mask a user's real search history by sending search engines a cloud of ‘ghost' queries, and AdNauseam, a browser extension that obfuscates a user's browsing data to protect from tracking by advertising networks. Building on such projects, in 2015, she coauthored a book with Finn Brunton called Obfuscation: A User's Guide for Privacy and Protest. The book detailed ideas on mitigating and defeating digital surveillance. With concerns about surveillance surging in a time of rising authoritarianism and the advent of powerful artificial intelligence technologies, Justin Hendrix reached out to Professor Nissenbaum to find out what she's thinking in this moment, and how her ideas can be applied to present day phenomena.

    Born a patriot, Dr. Leslie Gruis spent 30 years as a mathematician and intelligence officer at the National Security Agency, where she helped develop technology solutions that balanced national security with civil rights. She later served at U.S. Cyber Command and the National Intelligence Council. Now retired, she writes and speaks on privacy, surveillance, and democracy—making complex topics accessible for everyday Americans. Dr. Gruis is the author of Privacy: Past, Present, and Future, The Privacy Pirates, and a forthcoming third book. She also mentors K–12 STEM students, with a special focus on middle school girls.Dr Gruis on math: "In my experience, students rarely struggle with content alone. What they often lack is confidence and context. Many bright students are afraid to try, afraid to fail, or unsure how what they're learning fits into the real world. The most impactful thing educators can do is show them that problem-solving isn't about perfection—it's about curiosity." Dr Gruis on privacy: "One crucial point is that privacy is not just a personal preference—it's a civic right. When we give up privacy, even in small ways, we weaken our ability to think, speak, and dissent freely. It's not just about protecting data; it's about protecting civil rights. Devices like Ring doorbells, fitness trackers, and smartphones collect massive amounts of data, often without people fully realizing the long-term social impacts. This normalization of surveillance makes it even more urgent that we think critically about the trade-offs."Connect with Dr Gruis:LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/leslie-gruis-b8060b141/Get a copy of The Privacy PiratesLearn more about Cyber Corps sfs.opm.govChris Woods is the host of the STEM Everyday Podcast...

    Is your financial life really private? In this eye-opening episode, Cato Institute's Norbert Michel and Nicholas Anthony take us deep into the world of financial surveillance, starting with the 1970 Bank Secrecy Act. What was originally sold as a tool to catch tax cheats has quietly evolved into a sprawling system of government oversight—with banks and financial institutions acting as unwitting watchdogs. From suspicious activity reports to the third-party doctrine, Norbert and Nicholas explain how the erosion of Fourth Amendment protections has happened largely out of public view. They break down the law's legacy, how it expanded post-9/11, and why $10,000 isn't the large sum it once was. But there's reason for optimism. With growing public awareness, privacy-focused tech, and new reform legislation finally on the table, change might be within reach. If you thought your bank account was your business, think again—this episode will make you see it in a whole new light.Show Notes:Norbert Michel and Jennifer J.

Deki, who recently presented on this topic at MoneroKon, outlines Rand's key philosophical pillars—objective reality, reason, rational self-interest, free market capitalism, and privacy—and argues that these values closely align with the principles behind decentralized crypto. The two explore Rand's likely support for privacy-focused coins like Monero over state-aligned cryptocurrencies, discuss her novels Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, and reflect on how philosophical literacy can guide resistance to government overreach. The conversation also touches on current political events, Bitcoin's co-optation, and the difficulty of waking people up to freedom-focused ideas in an age of convenience. TIMESTAMPS: Coming soon!

    Andrew Clearwater is a Partner at Dentons' Privacy and Cybersecurity Team and a recognized authority in privacy and AI governance. Formerly a founding leader at OneTrust, he oversaw privacy and AI initiatives, contributed to key data protection standards, and holds over 20 patents. Andrew advises businesses on responsible tech implementation, helping navigate global regulations in AI, data privacy, and cybersecurity. A frequent speaker, he offers insight into emerging compliance challenges and ethical technology use. In this episode… Many companies are diving into AI without first putting governance in place. They often move forward without defined goals, leadership, or alignment across privacy, security, and legal teams. This leads to confusion about how AI is being used, what risks it creates, and how to manage those risks. Without coordination and structure, programs lose momentum, transactions are delayed, and expectations become harder to meet. So how can companies build a responsible AI governance program? Building effective AI governance programs starts with knowing what's in use, why it's in use, what data AI tools and systems collect, the risk it creates, and how to manage it. Standards like ISO 42001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework help companies guide this process. ISO 42001 offers the benefit of certification and supports cross-functional consistency, while NIST may be better suited for organizations already using it in related areas. Both frameworks help companies define the scope of AI use cases, understand the risks, and inform policies before jumping into controls. Conducting data inventories and utilizing existing risk management processes are also essential in identifying shadow AI introduced by employees or third-party vendors. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Andrew Clearwater, Partner at Dentons, about how companies can build responsible AI governance programs. Andrew explains how standards and legal frameworks support consistent AI governance implementation and how to encourage alignment between privacy, security, legal, and ethics teams. He also outlines the importance of monitoring shadow AI across third-party vendors and practical steps companies can take to effectively structure their AI governance programs.

    North Korean IT Worker Fraud Scheme:The U.S. Department of Justice uncovered a covert North Korean operation involving IT workers fraudulently securing remote jobs at over 100 American tech companies using stolen or fake identities. These workers operated within U.S.-based "laptop farms" and created shell companies to obscure over $5 million in illicit earnings. Funds were funneled to the North Korean government, supporting weapons development. The scheme also involved data theft, including sensitive source code from a U.S. defense contractor.Android 16 Anti-Surveillance Feature:Android 16 introduces a “network notification” security upgrade that alerts users when their device connects to suspicious or unencrypted cell networks. It specifically guards against fake cell towers, such as stingray devices, by warning users about network requests for identifiers or lack of encryption, enhancing protection from mobile surveillance and forced downgrades to insecure protocols.Critical Printer Vulnerabilities:Rapid7 researchers identified eight major vulnerabilities affecting printers from Brother, Ricoh, Toshiba, Konica Minolta, and Fujifilm. The most critical flaw (CVE-2024-51978) lets remote attackers bypass admin authentication by exploiting a companion vulnerability (CVE-2024-51977) that reveals the printer's serial number—used to generate default admin credentials. This enables unauthorized reconfiguration and access to stored sensitive documents.Microsoft Authenticator Password Phase-Out:Microsoft will remove password autofill and access features from its Authenticator app starting July 2025. The move supports a transition to passwordless sign-ins using biometrics (e.g., facial recognition, fingerprints) and passkeys, aligning with industry shifts toward stronger, phishing-resistant authentication methods.NIH Open-Access Research Mandate:A new U.S. NIH policy mandates that all taxpayer-funded research be freely accessible upon publication. This accelerates an open-access directive initiated under Biden and implemented during the Trump administration. The policy enhances public access to scientific discoveries and may enable AI tools to help interpret complex studies for broader audiences.Pro-Scottish Independence Account Shutdowns:On June 12, multiple X (formerly Twitter) accounts advocating for Scottish independence vanished in sync with an Israeli cyber strike on Iran. The timing and scope of internet outages in Iran imply that the accounts were likely Iranian-run disinformation tools designed to destabilize the UK under the guise of grassroots political advocacy.Facebook Camera Roll Upload Concerns:Facebook is asking users to opt in to uploading unshared photos from their camera roll to Meta's servers to enable AI-generated content (e.g., collages). While Meta states that content remains private and isn't used for advertising, users must accept AI Terms that permit facial recognition, retention of loosely defined personal data, and potential human review—raising serious privacy concerns over intimate, unshared images.Meta's AI Superlab Push:Meta has launched “Meta Superintelligence Labs” and is heavily investing in top AI talent, reportedly offering compensation packages in the $10 million range. This underscores Meta's ambition to lead in high-end AI development, marking its entry into the elite tier of the global “AI arms race” beyond consumer-facing chatbots.

    Alexandra Paul always loved connecting with fans. She had many, from her breakout role in the 1983 horror film Christine to her years playing a lifeguard on Baywatch. In 2011, Paul's career was slowing down, but it was also the year that she met her biggest fan: a woman who would come to stalk her for over a decade, costing Paul tens of thousands of dollars in legal bills, strain on her family, and forcing her to move across state lines. The ordeal is now over, and she has lessons to share.  In this episode you'll hear Alexandra Paul read from an essay she published in The Ankler, a newsletter about the entertainment industry.   Podcast production by Zoe Azulay.  Death, Sex & Money is now produced by Slate!

    In this episode, we're diving into the Human Design gates activating in July, and let's just say, there's a lot of root pressure and throat energy in the mix. We explore:- Gate 39 (Provocation) and Gate 38 (The Fighter) — the pressure to poke, provoke, and push for meaning - Gate 53 (Beginnings) and Gate 54 (Ambition) — initiating energy and the drive to rise - Gate 62 (Details) and Gate 61 (Mystery) — logic vs. inner truth and the tension between facts and wonder - Gate 56 (Storytelling) and Gate 60 (Limitation) — how we communicate meaning and what grounds it - Gate 31 (Leadership) and Gate 41 (Imagination) — holding a vision and leading with purpose - Gate 33 (Privacy) and Gate 19 (Attunement) — reflection, boundaries, and sensing who's truly aligned Key themes: pressure, clarity, emotional reactivity, timing, truth, and collective leadership.This month asks for discernment, not reaction.

    Guest: Sarah Aoun, Privacy Engineer, Google Topic: You have had a fascinating career since we [Tim] graduated from college together – you mentioned before we met that you've consulted with a literal world leader on his personal digital security footprint. Maybe tell us how you got into this field of helping organizations treat sensitive information securely and how that led to helping keep targeted individuals secure?  You also work as a privacy engineer on Fuschia, Google's new operating system kernel. How did you go from human rights and privacy to that?  What are the key privacy considerations when designing an operating system for “ambient computing”? How do you design privacy into something like that? More importantly, not only “how do you do it”, but how do you convince people that you did do it? When we talk about "higher risk" individuals, the definition can be broad. How can an average person or someone working in a seemingly less sensitive role better assess if they might be a higher-risk target? What are the subtle indicators? Thinking about the advice you give for personal security beyond passwords and multi-factor auth, how much of effective personal digital hygiene comes down to behavioral changes versus purely technical solutions? Given your deep understanding of both individual security needs and large-scale OS design, what's one thing you wish developers building cloud services or applications would fundamentally prioritize about user privacy?
