Podcasts about Risk assessment

We see this in financial services too, where credit scoring algorithms can disadvantage certain socioeconomic or racial groups, potentially leading to higher rejection rates for loans or less favorable terms. This can reinforce historical practices like "redlining."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/racism-white-privilege-in-america--4473713/support.

Episode #435: “There is a person behind every piece of policy,” says Nandar, a senior digital security expert at DigiSec Lab, reflecting on Myanmar's transformation into a digital prison since the 2021 military coup. Along with researcher and trainer Vox, journalist and consultant Myat, and political researcher Candle, they discuss how the junta's technological control has reshaped daily life, eroded freedom, and forced citizens to adapt in order to survive. Nandar, who leads digital safety training and emergency response, describes Myanmar's “digital siege” as an Internet that works but no longer grants freedom. Layers of control filter access, monitor behavior, and instill fear. Through deep packet inspection, metadata tracking, and the 2025 Cybersecurity Law, the state monitors every interaction and compels service providers to surrender data. The result, she explains, is not disconnection but silence—an online world where communication feels dangerous and self-censorship has become instinct. Journalists, activists, and youth face the worst effects, yet resistance endures in small, encrypted acts of persistence. Vox, a digital safety researcher, recalls how after the coup, blackouts became “Internet curfews,” and police raids and digital fear merged into everyday life. With no protection from global companies, he and others learned that tools like Signal or Telegram could not guarantee safety. Every conversation required verification; every contact might be compromised. Digital survival meant learning espionage tactics in civilian life. Years later, he says, surveillance has become total. What began as emergency control has evolved into permanent monitoring, leaving an entire generation living cautiously under a digital authoritarian state. Myat, a journalist and media consultant, says that while before the coup, Myanmar's independent press was expanding, after the coup, licenses were revoked, reporters jailed, and websites blocked. Exiled media outlets now depend on fragile networks inside the country. Online activity itself has become perilous: VPN use invites arrest, encryption offers no safety when authorities demand passwords, and surveillance reaches into every newsroom. Myat works to train journalists in digital hygiene and security awareness, yet she warns that technology alone cannot protect them. Financial collapse and fear have made survival uncertain, and she insists that the culture of safety—and courage—must now define journalism in Myanmar. Candle, a political researcher leading DigiSec's “Duty of Care” project, focuses on how scholars must adapt research ethics to extreme risk. Fieldwork, interviews, and data collection can expose both researchers and participants to danger, so her team developed a Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan for every project. Integrating encryption, anonymization, and storage security has become an ethical duty, not a technical choice. She explains that fear now shapes participation—many citizens decline interviews or refuse to share information. By embedding safety into research design, Candle argues, social inquiry itself becomes an act of protection as much as discovery. Together, their voices reveal a single truth: in Myanmar, speaking, writing, and researching have become acts of resistance sustained by vigilance and quiet resilience.

Summary In this insightful episode of the Chattinn Cyber podcast, host Marc Schein is chattin'with Ryan Steidl, a leading privacy and artificial intelligence attorney, to explore the evolving landscape of AI from a legal and cybersecurity perspective. Ryan shares his journey from Maryland to becoming a respected figure in data privacy and AI law, highlighting the influence of pioneering professors and his early work at Under Armour. He frames AI as an evolutionary technology that builds on existing data privacy and security issues but introduces new complexities due to limited human intervention in its processes. Their chat delves into the current regulatory environment surrounding AI in the United States, which Ryan describes as a patchwork of state laws with no comprehensive federal framework yet in place. He discusses the recent veto of Virginia's AI bill and the ongoing debate over a proposed federal moratorium on state AI legislation, emphasizing the tension between innovation and safety. Ryan also notes the role of federal agencies like the FTC and EEOC in shaping AI policy and how shifts in administration priorities—from safety to innovation—impact regulatory approaches. Ryan advises business leaders to focus on the purpose behind AI adoption, urging them to carefully assess use cases, data needs, and risk tolerance before allowing AI tools in their organizations. He stresses the importance of governance, recommending cross-functional oversight teams and clear ownership at multiple levels—from enterprise governance to tool implementation and output accountability. He also highlights the necessity of rigorous vetting and ongoing risk assessments to manage AI-related risks effectively. The chat further clarifies the distinctions between open-source AI models, public tools like ChatGPT, and private sandbox environments. Ryan warns against indiscriminate use of public AI models with sensitive data and advocates for controlled environments that offer greater security and customization. He also touches on emerging trends like synthetic data and regulatory sandboxes, which balance innovation with risk mitigation, citing Utah's AI lab as a pioneering example. Concluding on the topic of AI's impact on cyber risk, Ryan offers a nuanced view: AI can both help manage and exacerbate cyber risks depending on how it is used. He underscores the increasing complexity AI introduces and the critical role of human oversight in accountability and enforcement. Ryan predicts that insurers will push organizations toward proactive risk management rather than reactive responses, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring and anticipation of AI-related pitfalls. He closes by inviting listeners to access further resources and contact his team for guidance. Key Points AI as an Evolutionary Technology: AI builds on existing data privacy and security frameworks but introduces new challenges due to limited human intervention in its processes. Fragmented AI Regulation: The U.S. currently has a patchwork of state-level AI laws with no comprehensive federal legislation, complicated by political debates such as the proposed moratorium on state AI laws. Governance and Ownership: Effective AI adoption requires clear governance structures, cross-functional oversight, and defined ownership at multiple organizational levels. Risk Assessment and Documentation: Organizations must implement thorough vetting processes, conduct ongoing risk assessments, and maintain detailed documentation to demonstrate accountability and compliance. Safe AI Adoption Practices: Businesses should avoid using public AI models with sensitive data, favor sandbox or private instances, and consider synthetic data to mitigate privacy and compliance risks. Key Quotes "AI is more evolutionary than revolutionary, at least. It builds on a lot of topics that we're pretty familiar with, especially in cybersecurity."

Send us a textIn this episode Dr. Murali Premkumar (Texas Children's) presents an Explore/CHNC analysis of stricture formation after surgical NEC using 2010–2024 CHND data (2,411 surgical NEC infants). Overall CHNC stricture incidence ≈31% with marked inter-center variability (adjusted center rates ~24–38%). Multivariable analysis identified lower gestational age and stoma/laparotomy as associated with higher stricture risk, while initial peritoneal drainage associated with lower risk; Hispanic ethnicity showed lower unadjusted risk. A predictive model yielded AUC 0.67, highlighting missing variables (antibiotic duration, feeding practices). Practical implications: use these benchmarks to counsel families, generate hypotheses, and target QI by studying low-risk centers.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

In this comprehensive session, Eric Kaiser walks through the critical importance of establishing proper user requirements before making equipment purchases. Drawing from real-world experiences in the HVAC industry, he demonstrates how poor upfront planning leads to costly mistakes, buyer's remorse, and multiple equipment purchases. The discussion covers everything from selecting simple tools like screwdrivers to complex HVAC system installations for residential and commercial applications. Eric begins with relatable examples that everyone can understand - like buying screwdrivers that don't do the job you need them for, leading to accumulating multiple tools over time. He then escalates to more serious scenarios, sharing a story about a company that spent significant money switching business software twice because they failed to identify a crucial missing feature upfront. This pattern of inadequate planning costs businesses and homeowners thousands of dollars and countless hours of frustration. The heart of the presentation focuses on a structured approach to equipment selection that prioritizes needs over wants. Eric introduces a step-by-step process that includes defining intended use, conducting thorough assessments, categorizing requirements as needs versus wants, and performing systematic candidate evaluation. He demonstrates this methodology using electrical meter selection, showing how 38 potential options can be narrowed down to just two viable candidates through careful analysis of features like amperage capability, True RMS measurement, and accuracy requirements. The session expands into HVAC system selection, where the stakes are much higher. Participants share valuable insights about customer expectations, from wanting to know when quiet systems are running (leading to flag solutions on registers) to dealing with customers who expect their new heat pump to feel as warm as their old poorly-designed system. Eric emphasizes that understanding customer expectations often differs from understanding their stated wants, requiring skilled questioning to uncover the real requirements for comfort, noise levels, and operational preferences. Key Topics Covered The Cost of Poor Planning: Real examples of expensive mistakes from inadequate user requirements, including business software failures and HVAC mismatches Structured Selection Process: Step-by-step methodology for equipment selection from initial use definition through final verification and purchase Needs vs. Wants Prioritization: Framework for distinguishing between essential requirements and desirable features to avoid decision paralysis Electrical Meter Selection: Detailed walkthrough showing how to narrow 38 options to 2 viable candidates using systematic evaluation criteria HVAC System Selection Complexities: Load calculations, customer expectation management, and the importance of understanding actual usage patterns Customer Psychology and Expectations: Understanding why customers may want noise from systems, visual confirmation of operation, and familiar operational feel Commercial Equipment Considerations: Rooftop unit replacement challenges, curb adapters, crane access, and the complexity of retrofit installations Installation and Commissioning: The critical role of proper system setup, customer training, and setting realistic expectations for new equipment operation Risk Assessment in Selection: How complexity and potential failure costs should determine the formality and thoroughness of your selection process Data Collection for Future Decisions: The value of documenting system performance during routine maintenance to inform future replacement decisions Hidden Costs and Considerations: Factors like electrical requirements, ductwork compatibility, equipment accessibility, and service support that impact long-term ownership costs   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Door gevaren als gevolg van klimaatverandering lopen tegen 2090 mogelijk drie miljoen mensen in Australië risico, als de aarde 3 graden opwarmt. Dat blijkt uit een uitgebreid nieuw klimaatonderzoek dat door de federale regering is vrijgegeven. De National Climate Risk Assessment is openbaar gemaakt, nu de regering voorbereidingen treft voor de aankondiging van haar doelstelling om de koolstofuitstoot voor 2035 te verminderen.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're going even deeper into the assassination of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, and the more we uncover, the stranger it all looks. This wasn't just a tragedy; it was a deliberate political hit, and the inconsistencies surrounding it can't be ignored. From the bizarre behavior of the FBI to the unanswered questions about who ordered the attack, the pieces simply don't add up.If they'll take out someone as kind, respectful, and reasonable as Charlie Kirk, it means no Conservative is safe from being targeted. We must demand full accountability, real transparency, and nothing less than actual justice. Because the truth is, this was never just about Charlie, it was about silencing an entire movement. Not happening.

Coastal hazards driven by climate change could put three million people at risk by 2090 if Australia warms by 3 degrees, according to a major body of new climate research released by the federal government. The National Climate Risk Assessment has been released, as the government prepares the ground to announce its carbon emissions reduction target for 2035.

Australia's first national climate risk assessment has warned one and a half million Australians could be impacted by rising sea levels by 2050 unless climate change can be limited.

The Government has released its first assessment of the risks posed by climate change across Australia. The report paints a concerning picture, with predictions about what the future could look like if rising temperatures are not curbed – including a 450% increase in heat-related deaths in some parts of the country. Overall, the risk assessment warns that no Australian community will be immune. But the Government says it has a plan. Today, we're breaking down what this assessment found, what these findings mean for Australia's future, and how experts say we need to move forward.

Assessing Climate RisksAs climate change accelerates, climate risks are beginning to impact every aspect of society from infrastructure and transportation to health, biodiversity, and air and water quality. A climate risk is the potential for climate change to have adverse consequences for a human or ecological system. Climate risks have implications for property and infrastructure, posing a threat to the global financial system at large. The rate at which climate change and its associated risks are increasing can be reduced through mitigation and adaptation actions such as investing in green infrastructure and implementing energy efficiency standards. The assessment of climate risk involves the identification and quantification of the potential impacts of climate change on an organization, region, or community. Many organizations utilize climate risk assessments, which involve evaluating current and future vulnerabilities to climate-related hazards, taking into account factors such as infrastructure resilience, economic stability, and social vulnerability. To quantify those impacts, assessments typically estimate the level of damage in financial terms. In order to streamline this process and make it easier for companies to identify their potential risk, riskthinking.AI has developed a platform to leverage climate change risks and impacts through AI software.Integrating AI technology into climate risk assessmentsRiskthinking.Ai integrates AI technology with climate change data to evaluate financial risk management through their development of the ClimateEarthDigitalTwin (CDT). The CDT integrates physical asset data with the latest climate projections like extreme weather and temperature shifts. Rather than using deterministic forecasts, CDT relies on probabilistic distributions to simulate a range of future scenarios and project changes in an asset's value over time. The CDT platform quantifies exposure and impacts from climate change. Riskthinking.Ai identifies which specific risk factors, such as extreme heat and floods, contribute to overall exposure. This approach can guide decision-making and help assess the complex risks posed by climate change and inform future infrastructure investments, risk mitigation, and climate adaptation strategies.Upsides to AI assessment Riskthinking.Ai enables organizations to evaluate future financial impacts of climate change, integrating climate risks into business decisions. Countries especially vulnerable to climate change may benefit from this algorithm, as it allows for a better understanding of the threats they face due to a changing climate. By providing countries, governments, and corporations with a better understanding of how they may be at risk due to their geographical location and respective climate vulnerability, AI technology can guide decision-making to inform proper adaptation and mitigation into the future. Downsides to AI assessment Although Riskthinking.Ai provides a tangible strategy in informing proper adaptation and mitigation, many argue that the use of AI technology to address environmental crises is counterintuitive due to AI's negative impacts on the environment. By 2040, it is predicted that the emissions from the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry will amount to 14% of global emissions, with the majority being driven through ICT infrastructure, specifically data centers and communication networks which AI relies upon to operate. In addition to the significant energy consumption required to power AI technology, a large amount of water is needed for cooling data centers. Further, AI relies on critical minerals and rare elements which are mined for unsustainability and the rapidly increasing data centers contribute to the growing body of electronic waste.

You have to understand what you can do internally, externally, and when it's right to bring in somebody full-time.” “Every single data point that you put your name on is ultimately a weak point for threat mitigation.” “You don't get to make your dinner reservations in your last name anymore.

This deep dive into organizational risk management provides finance leaders with a strategic framework for protecting company assets and ensuring financial integrity.At its core, proper risk assessment requires a cross-functional approach. By bringing together expertise from legal, treasury, accounting, and financial planning departments, organizations can conduct robust SWOT analyses that reveal potential vulnerabilities. The process continues with identifying key metrics related to areas of concern, scoring and ranking these metrics, and evaluating the effectiveness of existing internal controls. This methodical approach ensures that audit resources focus first on the areas presenting the greatest risk to financial health and operational integrity.The significance of this process cannot be overstated. By systematically identifying weaknesses in internal controls and operational policies, finance leaders can build audit plans that address real vulnerabilities rather than perceived threats. This validation process provides confidence to all stakeholders—from employees and suppliers to creditors and potential investors—that the organization maintains financial stability and follows a viable strategic course. Whether you're managing compliance risk, credit and liquidity challenges, market uncertainties, or operational vulnerabilities, a well-designed risk assessment protocol serves as your first line of defense against financial irregularities. Take time today to evaluate your risk management system and ensure it effectively engages internal experts to assess your organization's most pressing risks. Your company's long-term success may depend on it.Episode outline:Analyzing various risk metrics will help identify areas with the weakest internal controls, Why financial risk is the foundation of the audit plan, andProperly integrating risk into what you audit.  Please connect with me on:1.

In today's episode, we're spotlighting the dental hygienist as more than just a provider of cleanings—but as a true prevention specialist. That means shifting from a reactive mindset to a proactive one: taking the time to perform comprehensive risk assessments on almost every patient. Why? Because identifying risk factors early is the key to building targeted, effective treatment plans that can help stop disease before it leads into much more serious and expensive problems. Our guest is Alicia Murria, a RDH with a masters degree in dental hygiene. She is a member of the Hygiene Faculty with Align Technology, Associate Hygiene Productivity Coach with Inspired Hygiene, and alumni at Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene.

Welcome to August's disco podcast, featuring brand new tracks from Dave Leatherman, HP Vince and Bruce Nolan, Luca Martini and Nina Moon, Mattei & Omich and Re-Tide, George Kelly, Diskobar, Risk Assessment, OKPLUS and Emel, and Soultizer and Soneec,  plus some re-treads of classic disco bangers from the 1970s and 1980s like Sharon Redd, Delegation, Geraldine Hunt, Patti Jo, and Jean Carn,.  All mixed with love here in London.Here's the full track list1 | Dave Leatherman, HP Vince, Bruce Nolan | Disco invasion2 | Luca Martini, Nina Moon | Desire (Extended Mix)3 | Mattei & Omich, Re-Tide | Dancin' back to me (Extended Mix)4 | Sharon Redd, J Kriv | Handle it5 | Geraldine Hunt | Can't fake the feeling (Butterfunk Edit)6 | George Kelly | You're nasty7 | Diskobar | Keep on dancin' (Original Mix)8 | Jean Carn | Love don't come easy (Pied Piper Reboot Of Tom Moulton Mix)9 | Risk Assessment | Trust issues10 | OKPLUS featuring Emel | Get on up (Extended Mix)11 | Delegation, Disco Tech | You & I (Disco Tech rework)12 | Soultizer, Soneec | You belong to me (Original Mix)13 | Patti Jo | Make me believe in you (Jack Tennis Edit)Thanks for listening. If you enjoyed this mix, please share the disco love with all your friends and send them a link to the podcast. And if you can, please leave a review.  THANK YOU.You can also enjoy the Spotify playlist, but please note that some of the tracks or versions may not be available on that platform.I've been a DJ in various forms including radio since I was a teenager, and I always used to say it was the best job in the world, getting to listen to all kinds of music. I think I've also been a frustrated musical artist of some kind: I wanted to engineer and produce and have trained on various DAWs. My musicianship has been limited though - I can't really sing and I'm a rudimentary keyboard player - but I can write and originally trained as a journalist after leaving school.  So I've been putting whatever writing skills I may possess to the test by writing lyrics and using them as prompts for AI music with some fascinating results. In fact I've spent the past month or so working on songs. At the time of writing I have an album of material completed, with the first track - a single - scheduled for release on 29th August on all the major platforms including Spotify and Apple Music. Another single is scheduled to come out about a month later with the album pencilled for release on Friday 10th October. One of the surprises for me was the style of music I've ended up creating - not my usual dance music at all. The album does contain tracks that will get you moving or set your toes tapping, but there's an equal number of singer/songwriter tracks that I hope are more contemplative. The whole song writing process was incredibly cathartic, in fact I'd go so far as to say, it was like therapy.  I don't have my artist page live on Spotify yet, but as soon as it is, and there's a pre-release link, I will include it here. It's a scary thing sharing in song all your previously private thoughts and experiences, so please don't be too harsh on me. And as importantly, why not have a go yourself.  I hope you enjoy it. Thank you. XX F*
