Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 4 juillet 2025.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.Matthias Fekl, avocat et ancien ministre de l'Intérieur.Antoine Foucher, consultant, spécialiste des questions sociales, auteur de Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus.Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.C'EST NICOLAS QUI PAIE » : L'AMORCE D'UN CONFLIT INTERGÉNÉRATIONNELTravail, écologie, sexualité, politique, racisme, laïcité, tant autour des questions sociales que dans le champ des valeurs, tout séparerait les jeunes de leurs aînés. Les « boomers » auraient « cramé la caisse » et la planète. Leurs successeurs seraient paresseux, instables, égoïstes, trop radicaux. L'expression « OK, boomer », apparue en 2018 et largement répandue sur les réseaux sociaux, résume à elle seule ce « clash intergénérationnel ». En cause : la montée de l'individualisme, l'accélération des changements technologiques et l'inversion opérée dans la transmission traditionnelle des savoirs. Avec le Covid, la génération Z - née entre la fin des années 1990 et le début des années 2010 – se serait sentie sacrifiée pour protéger les boomers. La crise écologique a créé des éco-anxieux qui demandent des comptes. C'est sur le front des conditions économiques que les tensions sont les plus vives : dans un État consacrant plus de budget à la retraite (379 milliards d'euros en 2023, 13,4 % du PIB, selon le rapport du Conseil d'orientation des retraites) qu'à sa jeunesse (190 milliards d'euros pour l'éducation en 2023, 6,7 % du PIB), celle-ci est contrainte de composer avec un chômage structurel, des inégalités sociales croissantes et un État de moins en moins providence et protecteur, constate Salomé Saqué, dans son livre Sois jeune et tais-toi.Alors que la CFDT comme le Medef commencent à s'inquiéter d'un risque de conflit intergénérationnel, dans son rapport d'avril, la Cour des comptes a alerté sur la nécessité de veiller à l'équité intergénérationnelle des systèmes de retraites. Compte tenu du vieillissement de la population et de la baisse de la natalité, pour éviter que les écarts ne se creusent, la Cour note l'intérêt de mieux piloter le système global avec des clauses de revoyure. Le rapport entre actifs et retraités ne cesse de se dégrader : de trois actifs pour un retraité au début des années 1980, ce ratio est passé à 2,1 actifs pour un retraité en 2000 et à 1,7 cotisant pour un retraité en 2021. Il devrait encore décliner d'ici à 2050 pour passer à 1,5 cotisant pour un retraité. Dans un tel contexte, le système de retraites par répartition apparaît de moins en moins à même de générer un niveau de pensions suffisant.Depuis quelques mois, Nicolas, trente ans, un personnage fictif devenu un mème populaire sur les réseaux sociaux incarne le « ras-le-bol fiscal » d'une partie de la jeune génération. Notamment sur X et à droite, dès qu'un article de presse relaie une information impliquant une dépense de l'État, le commentaire surgit : « C'est Nicolas qui paie. » Nicolas (prénom le plus donné aux garçons en 1995) se veut emblématique de la génération des jeunes actifs trentenaires, supposés écrasés d'impôts pour financer les croisières de « Bernard et Chantal », retraités de 70 ans, et le RSA de « Karim », jeune immigré de 25 ans, autres personnages fictifs. « Il n'y a pas de caractère inédit concernant les contestations fiscales, souligne l'économiste Erwann Tison. Ce qui est nouveau, c'est le côté générationnel ».Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

Doctor Ayse Torres, associate professor in the College of Education and Doctor Javad Hashemi, professor in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Florida Atlantic University. This cracks me up because Jeff and I talked before we were recording today, and what? We haven't had such two distinguished guests on the show like you all. So glad you're here. So, Ayse, how are things going for you?   Ayse: I'm doing great. Thank you. It's exciting to be here, and I'm really looking forward to talking more about our Project AccessTECH.   Carol: Yeah. Me too. Me too. Javad, how about you? How are things going for you?   Javad: I'm doing well as well. Thank you. And thank you for this opportunity to talk to you about our new initiative, the center. It's very exciting, and there is a lot to discuss.   Carol: Well, it is very exciting. And I had a chance, I was on your website and I was reviewing the video and I'm like, oh my gosh, I got super excited. I think everybody across the country needs to hear about what's going on with your project because it is super important. So for our listeners today, we're going to dive into the Disability Innovation Fund Group F grants and funded through the US Department of Education's Rehabilitation Services Administration. And we're spotlighting a bold national initiative to design and test new strategies that help youth and adults with disabilities successfully transition into competitive, integrated employment. And Florida Atlantic University is one of 27 grantees leading this charge. Their Project AccessTECHnology is already generating attention for its focus on creating pathways into high demand technology fields like cybersecurity, cloud computing, and 3D printing. But I don't want to steal your thunder, so let's hear directly from the team behind this exciting work. So, Ayse, let's start with you. Can you introduce yourself to our listeners and tell us about your role at FAU and with the AccessTECHnology Project?   Ayse: Absolutely. My name is Ayse Torres, and I'm an associate professor in the departments of Cancer Education, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering at Florida Atlantic University. My background is deeply rooted in vocational rehabilitation, where I help individuals with disabilities transitioning into meaningful careers. I worked in different capacities at the Division of Blind Services and Division of Vocational Rehabilitation in Florida for the past eight years at Florida Atlantic University. I focus on developing evidence based strategies to enhance employment outcomes for people with disabilities. With the AccessTECH Project I serve as the principal investigator. This project is an amazing opportunity to work with incredible partners like Doctor Javad Hashemi, associate Dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science and Dean from the same college here at Florida Atlantic.   Carol: I just think that is the coolest thing. I could not believe your background when you were telling me you were part of the rehab counseling program to I'm like, what is happening? This is like mind blowing. I think this is an amazing partnership. So Javad, same question over to you. What's your role at the university and how are you involved in the project?   Javad: Thank you for asking the question. My name is Javad Hashemi. My training is in mechanical engineering. I'm a professor of mechanical engineering, but I've done a lot of research, for example in both mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering. I'm also the associate dean of research for the College of Engineering and Computer Science. My role is to coordinate research activities at the college, within the college, and between our college and other colleges. So this AccessTECHnology is an example of the type of initiative that the College of Engineering and the College of Education together have initiated, and this AccessTECHnology program. We bring the element of technology, high tech education and education of people with disabilities in key areas that we believe the nation needs.   Carol: This is so exciting. Ayse, how did the idea for this even come about? Like, how did you two get connected and come up with this awesome project?   Ayse: This is a great question. The idea really came out of our long talks with Doctor Hashemi and our partner, Doctor Tim Tansey, at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. We saw the unmet needs firsthand while working with people with disabilities, and we knew the tech sector is booming. But too often people with disabilities were left out because of several barriers. But these barriers sometimes related to training programs or employers feeling unsure about hiring, well, that's where this collaboration with Doctor Hashemi and the College of Engineering came into play. We ask ourselves, what if we created a program specially designed to bridge these gaps? Well, by combining tailored training, hands on internship and soft skills development, we could not only help participants thrive, but also redefine how employers view disability in the tech world.   Carol: I'm just like in I think this is super cool and I don't know anyone doing anything like this anywhere else. So can you guys walk us through the program? Like what are participants going to experience? From the training tracks to the whole certifications and internships? Lay it all out there.   Ayse: What's happening, of course, AccessTECH is divided into three main phases. First of all, we begin with Tech Prep, which is a program designed to build participants confidence in foundational employment soft skills. Then we move into specialized training tracks. Participants choose one of the three areas based on their interest and career goals. Cybersecurity, cloud computing or computer aided design and 3D printing. These tracks are hands on and immersive, running for 3 to 6 months and ending with a certification that's recognized across the industry. And lastly, participants engage with Paid Internship, which I highlight its paid internship with our industry partners like Dell Technologies. These real world experiences give them the chance to apply their skills, build professional networks, and gain footing in competitive workplaces. Our partners play a huge role here, not just by offering internships, by fostering rich environments that truly welcome different talents.   Carol: So I know you mentioned Dell, who are like your other key partners in this initiative. And are there opportunities for other people to get involved as the project expands?   Ayse: We have been building an incredible network of partners. This includes state vocational rehabilitation agencies across the country, community rehabilitation programs, and employers in the tech industry. Our advisory board also features stakeholders from disability organizations, local leaders and people with disabilities to ensure we are aligning with real community needs. Well, this is a great place to say, Carol, I'm just going to go ahead and say, for those who are interested in getting involved, we are always looking to expand our network. Whether you're an employer who wants to host interns or in agencies seeking resources for our clients, there is a place for you here in AccessTECH. Doctor Hashemi, what do you think?   Javad: I think it's exactly right. We have an advisory board that consists of more than 15 local companies. And all of these companies have committed to support this initiative. They're all very excited. And as we are advancing in the project, we are contacting and recruiting more companies. I think I had an idea to expand this to other states. We're going to pursue some of the venues that Ayse has thought of, and I think this number of companies will expand. The good thing about the program is that it can be done online. For example, the company could be in California, they could hire somebody in Pennsylvania, and the person in Pennsylvania can do this, that work in an online manner. Cybersecurity, you know, cloud computing solutions, these are all type of jobs that can be done online. We hope to expand this industry base that supports this project.   Carol: That really is the beauty of this project, because I think about some of our customers who are, you know, they're stuck really because of the rural nature of where they may live. They may not have access to some really awesome opportunities. But the pandemic showed us the world can be connected via the computer. You can get anywhere. And so as long as they can get some access to broadband and be able to get online, they could do the work. I think that is super cool. And what role does Tim Tansey play in this as your partner.   Ayse: He is such a great support for us. Like I cannot just say one word as his role. He has been from the beginning as been with us designing this study, every piece, every aspect of it. And also Doctor Emily Brink is working with us. This is such a great team that we are working with, and we can't do any of this without their support. They're super valuable.   Carol: Yeah, absolutely. I know that both of them, they've done a really good job because they've currently got the Quality Employment Initiative, the Technical Assistance Center, funded by RSA. So they have a lot of like real life experience to what's going on, Boots on the ground.   Ayse: Exactly.   Javad: Tim and Emily's role is really, really important in terms of doing the prep for our applicants, how to deal with industry, how to have a role in the work environment, how to communicate, how to collaborate in a team environment. I think these are the aspects that are truly important. They are equally and maybe even more important than the technology itself. So Tim and Emily's role I agree with Ayse is just crucial.   Carol: I think the cool thing about you guys is usually folks get these grants and it takes a long time for that to launch, but you all are already off and running. I mean, I can't even believe it. So we know you've launched your first cohort and you have this fully functional website. You have. All this stuff is out there already. What should state VR agencies know now that you're at go time, you're at the implementation stage. So what should our state VR agencies know about this.   Ayse: So as you said, we are so excited to share that we have officially formed our first cohort of participants. This is incredible. The first group includes individuals with different disabilities and a wide range of career interests in tech. They're about to kick off our first phase of the tech program. If you remember, I mentioned that this phase is all about enhancing soft skills. This is going to be great. Additionally, our fully functional website has been a game changer. It serves as the central hub for everything from detailed information about the program to easy online application. Everything is in one place in our website for the state VR agencies. Now is the perfect time to connect your participants with us, because the program is in full swing and we are excited to welcome participants from all over the country. AccessTECH makes the application process super simple. Participants can just head to our website and apply on their own. It's all about empowerment. If you want to refer your clients, just share our website with them. We have set up an easy three step application portal to make things so easy and smooth as possible.   Carol: I just want to underscore that I heard you right. This is a national initiative and participants can join from anywhere, Correct?   Ayse: That is absolutely right.   Carol: Ahh, it's excellent. So what is your recruitment strategy and how are you ensuring accessibility for this kind of broad audience?   Ayse: So AccessTECH is designed to reach people all across the country, whether you're in a big city or a small town. If you have a disability, a high school diploma and an interest in tech, this is just for you. When it comes to recruitment, the R strategy is multi-layered, but currently our recruitment plan focuses on to connect with state VR agencies and community organizations across the country. Also, our website is the central piece of scaling the program. It's not just informative but also functional, allowing anyone interested to quickly apply, learn about training tracks, or even connect with our team for questions by using strategic outreach. We are ensuring AccessTECH creates opportunities for a nationwide pool of participants.   Carol: How many people could participate in a cohort at a time?   Ayse: We are keeping the cohorts at this moment small, like 12 to 15, because we are actually piloting everything that we established in the past six months for the first time. This number will increase as the time goes by. This project is, you know, it's 4 or 5 years. So our goal is to reach 240 by the end of five years.   Carol: Nice, nice. So looking ahead, what's the long term impact that you hope to achieve overall? At the end of the program, you're looking back, end of five years, you right in the report, what's it say?   Ayse: Well I would say our goal for participant is very simple yet powerful to equip them with the skills, confidence and networks they need to build sustainable careers in technology. On a broader level, we aim to strengthen the tech industry workforce. What do you think, Doctor Hashemi?   Javad: I agree, I think that our main goal at the end of the project is to have a significant number of our applicants actually working with industry and having gained enough experience, like Ayse said, to have a sustainable career in any of these three tracks that we have developed. That's our goal.   Ayse: I would also add that once we demonstrate success in tech, we can apply similar models to other fields like robotics or programming and continue breaking barriers.   Carol: I love it, you guys, I think this is brilliant. And what's so wonderful is it's transferable. Other people are going to pick up on this idea, and it can be replicated elsewhere across the country. Like you said, different industries can get focused on having that same sort of partnership, but you give it that, kind of, that, oh, to go, and to go do this really well. So how can people get in touch or learn more about the project? You talked about the website. Can you give us the website address?   Ayse: Yes. You can visit our website at. www.FaU.edu/AccessTech. This is going to take you to a place to explore the program in detail and find contact information and apply to the program.   Carol: Very cool. Any other things you want our listeners to know about today about you?   Ayse: Very excited to receive applications and altogether strengthen this workforce.   Carol: I agree, I think this is great. I'm hoping you get a flood of applicants, I really do. I wish you both much success.   Ayse: Thank you, Carol, so much for having us.   Javad: Thank you very much, Appreciate it.   Carol: Thanks for being here. You're welcome. Good to have you.   {Music} Outro Voice: Conversations powered by VR, one manager at a time, one minute at a time, brought to you by the VR TAC for Quality Management.

A Clare haulier claims overgrown hedges represent an "ongoing battle" for people in his industry. The Irish Road Haulage Association says the average medium-sized haulier is losing two mirrors a week on their truck fleet at a cost of €1,000 due to damage caused by hedgerows. A survey of 620 professional heavy goods vehicle drivers conducted last year by the RSA found 75% reported overgrown vegetation to be challenging while driving. Ennis-based former IRHA President Eugene Drennan insists inadequate maintenance can pose serious road safety risk.

In this episode of Trending in Education, Mike Palmer hosts Charles Beyrouthy, Managing Partner at Forma Prime, a venture capital firm, to explore the exciting intersection of deep technology and the future of education. We dive into the profound shifts happening in our world, from the cutting-edge advancements in quantum computing, new sensor technologies, and cybersecurity, as well as the impact of generative AI on all of this. Key Takeaways: Charles Beyrouthy's Journey: Charles shares his fascinating career path, from studying chemical engineering and biochemistry at UMass Amherst to accidentally falling into chemical engineering, working in microfluidics research, and eventually transitioning into oil and natural gas consulting before founding a lab software startup called LabCloud. The Boston Biotech Ecosystem: We discuss Boston's rise as a biotech hub, examining how VC firms like Flagship and Polaris provided not just funding but also operational support, placing executives and consultants to bridge the gap between IP-centric research and commercialization. This transformation was fueled by institutions like MIT, Harvard, and Boston University, and supported by a robust supplier base. Deep Tech Investment Landscape: Charles explains Forma Prime's focus on deep tech, particularly semiconductors, and why this sector sits uniquely between SaaS (low IP moat, high market following) and biotech (high IP moat, long regulatory cycles). Semiconductors offer a high IP moat, a low regulatory environment, and massive implementation potential. Quantum Technology & Its Applications: We delve into quantum computing, moving beyond the theoretical to discuss real-world applications like quantum GPS that don't rely on satellites and the system on the International Space Station which uses room-temperature neutral atom technology developed by Infleqtion. We also touch upon other use cases like quantum radio frequency technology and quantum GPS timekeeping for synchronization. Q Day and Cybersecurity: We also explore the concept of "Q Day" – the hypothetical point where quantum computers could break conventional encryption. While Charles believes conventional encryption standards like RSA 256 are still robust, he acknowledges the need for continued research and government support for quantum encryption. Gradient Technologies, a Forma Prime portfolio company, is pioneering hardware-authenticated access to enhance cybersecurity. Challenges in Academia and Industry Alignment: A critical theme is the disconnect between academia and entrepreneurial activity in the private sector. Charles advocates for better alignment in curricula, teaching styles, and practicums to ensure graduates emerge work-ready. He also emphasizes the need for professors to upskill in emerging technologies and for academia to prioritize practical application and societal value over purely academic pursuits. The Semiconductor Workforce Crisis: Charles issues a powerful call to action regarding the urgent need for skilled technicians and engineers in the US semiconductor industry. He highlights that we need at least 35,000 technicians for new fabs and urges educators to step forward to develop practical training programs to address this. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the bleeding edge of technology and its implications for our future. We unpack complex topics like quantum computing and its real-world applications, offering a clear and accessible overview. We also engage in a timely discussion about the critical role of education in preparing the next generation for a rapidly evolving technological landscape, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities for collaboration between academia and industry.

The number of learner drivers who failed to show up to their driving test is now above 3,000 this year already, that's according to figures from the RSA. Shane discussed these figures with Sean Canney, Minister of State for Transport.

There have been more than 3,000 no-shows for driving tests so far this year.Which means 3,000 working hours of RSA testers being wasted so far this year. At a time when there's a backlog of people waiting.Some drivers are exploiting a legal loophole that enables them to renew their learner permit so long as they show they have applied for a test.So, should there be consequences?Joining guest host Adrian Kennedy to discuss is Editor of completecar.ie Shane O'Donoghue, Driving instructor and Director of the Professional Driving Instructors Association Dominic Brophy, as well as listeners.

From 27 weeks to 18.4 weeks, the driving test wait list has finally been reduced. The RSA action plan set out a series of actions to bring the average wait time down. This included expanding testing hours, training new testers and even building new driving test centers in Drogheda and Sandyford, which are due to be open soon. All to discuss with Brendan Walsh, chief operations officer of the RSA.

What if we designed systems not for top-down control – but for human connection?At RSA House, trust expert and artist Rachel Botsman explores how design thinking and visual storytelling can rethink leadership, power, and trust systems. We often learn something new from studying something old.Anchored in her 2025 London Design Biennale installation Roots of Trust, the conversation returns to a long-forgotten artefact: the world's first organisational chart, drawn in 1855. From this intricate, organic diagram, we trace the enduring imprint of pyramid structures and hierarchy – and ask what new forms trust might take.Expect light and shadow. Beauty and utility. Roots and branches. For anyone curious about how we might design our way toward a more connected, trusted society, this is a conversation not to miss.Speaker:Rachel Botsman, trust expert and artistChair:Abi Freeman, Organisational Psychologist and Co-Founder of BrinkDonate to the RSA: https://thersa.co/3ZyPOEaBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/ueembFollow RSA on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thersaorg/Like RSA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theRSAorg/Listen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYUJoin our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Season 6 of the Perspectivalist! Today, I'm joined by Mr. Jarrod Richey, Director of Music at Church of the Redeemer in West Monroe, Louisiana, and Academic Dean of the Redeemer School of the Arts. This past year, RSA launched its first-ever Arts Certificate Program, designed to equip students in the creative arts through a distinctly Christ-centered lens.In our conversation, we discuss what exactly the creative arts are, how this program distinguishes itself from typical fine-arts degrees, and why something like this is so necessary, not just in Louisiana but in the broader Christian community, including those in the CREC.We also cover the kind of students who thrive in the program, what success has looked like after year one, and how you or someone you know can apply.To learn more, visit RSALA.org or email info@rsala.org.Note: I would like to extend my gratitude to Perspectivalist resident musician, Mr. George Reed, for the introduction and outro, and to Mr. Leo Ehrenstein, who designed our new logo.

Welcome back to Forcepoint's To the Point Cybersecurity podcast! In this episode, co-host Jonathan Knepher sits down with Petko Stoyanov—cybersecurity expert and former Forcepoint host—for a thought-provoking discussion about the evolving landscape of AI in cybersecurity. Together, they unpack the shifting trends seen at this year's RSA conference, exploring how artificial intelligence is moving from marketing buzzword to mission-critical security feature. Petko dives deep into the real-world impact of generative AI models, the increasing sophistication of both attackers and defenders, and the pressing need for “security by design” in today's fast-moving digital world. They discuss the new questions CISOs and CIOs should be asking about AI—like where models are hosted, what data they process, and how to manage risks in regulated industries. Petko shares eye-opening anecdotes about the potential for AI to accidentally leak sensitive data, the rise of targeted phishing in new languages powered by generative models, and why the CISO role is broader and more challenging than ever. The conversation also touches on the future of automation, the risk of deepfakes and disinformation, and how organizations can stay resilient in an era where the line between attacker and defender is increasingly blurred.

That may not be a problem for some, but the federal government maintains data stores that contain information about finances, health, and military matters. A recent report has shown that 50% of federal agencies have reported data breaches. It appears that it's time to find a solution. Today, we sat down with Blain Canavan from Thales Group to examine the usual suspects and the potential threats ahead. THE USUAL SUSPECTS:   MFA:  Protecting data can be accomplished with something as basic as phishing-resistant Multi-Factor Authentication. The first step in identity management can significantly reduce threats. Encryption: Deploying encryption can protect data at rest, in transit, and memory. Keys to the Kingdom: Little-known methods of managing the PKI system can help reduce risk in protecting data. THEAT DOWN THE ROAD: QUANTUM Now that you have checked the boxes for basic data protection, it is time to get a grasp on what lies ahead. We have read about quantum cryptography for twenty years. Today, we have pre-standardized quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms available. One needs to take action a little sooner. During the interview, Blair Canavan highlights the proactive measures taken by the US federal government, including the implementation of PQC-safe digital signatures by 2025. The “down the road” also has a delimitation -- Blair emphasizes the urgency of replacing outdated cryptographic methods, such as RSA and ECC, by 2030 and 2035, respectively.

What if the world's most trusted cryptographic systems could be broken in just minutes instead of centuries? In this thought-provoking episode of the Brilliance Security Magazine Podcast, David Close, Chief Solutions Architect at Futurex, joins host Steven Bowcut to discuss the very real—and rapidly accelerating—threat that quantum computing poses to modern encryption. With quantum advancements progressing faster than many expected, Close explains why organizations need to act now to safeguard long-term data, and how hybrid and agile cryptographic systems are the key to staying ahead.SummaryDavid Close opens the conversation by tracing his own journey from embedded firmware engineering to his current role leading cryptographic innovation at Futurex. He shares how his work with Hardware Security Modules (HSMs)—specialized devices that securely manage encryption keys—laid the groundwork for Futurex's leadership in enterprise-grade encryption.The core of the episode centers on the quantum computing threat to current encryption standards like RSA and elliptic curve cryptography. David breaks down the technical implications in accessible terms: quantum computers can solve problems exponentially faster than classical computers, meaning encryption methods that would take millennia to break with today's machines might be cracked in minutes by quantum processors.A key highlight is the concept of “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later”—a tactic where attackers steal encrypted data today, intending to decrypt it once quantum technology matures. David emphasizes that this threat is not futuristic; it's already underway, with critical long-life data like medical records, financial information, and government secrets at risk.David outlines how Futurex and other leading organizations are proactively adapting. For example, Google and Cloudflare have already implemented hybrid cryptography using both classical and quantum-safe algorithms. Futurex is doing the same across its suite of HSMs and key management solutions, supporting new standards ratified by NIST (including Kyber and Dilithium) and enabling “crypto agility”—the ability to quickly adopt new encryption standards without overhauling infrastructure.He also shares how Futurex is helping clients through cryptographic discovery, which allows organizations to identify where and how cryptography is being used across their environments. This step is essential for prioritizing risk areas and laying a foundation for a secure, phased migration to post-quantum cryptography.Finally, David stresses that while the quantum threat is real and imminent, organizations shouldn't panic—but they must act now. The transition to post-quantum cryptography is already underway, and those who prepare today will be far more secure and resilient tomorrow.

Le 31 mai 2025, le Journal officiel a publié le décret n° 2025-478, instaurant un nouveau régime de sanctions pour les demandeurs d'emploi, y compris les bénéficiaires du Revenu de solidarité active (RSA). Un dispositif de "suspension-remobilisation"Ce décret introduit le principe de "suspension-remobilisation". En cas de manquement aux obligations du "contrat d'engagement", tel qu'un défaut d'assiduité ou l'absence d'actes positifs répétés en vue de trouver un emploi, une suspension d'au moins 30 % des allocations est prévue pour une durée d'un à deux mois. En cas de récidive, la suspension ou la suppression partielle ou totale de l'allocation peut être étendue jusqu'à quatre mois. Si le demandeur d'emploi se conforme à ses obligations, la suspension prend fin.Une approche graduelle et individualiséeLe ministère du Travail souligne que ce dispositif vise à favoriser une remobilisation pour un retour rapide à l'emploi, plutôt qu'une suppression pure et simple des allocations. Les sanctions sont désormais proportionnées, graduelles, non automatiques et réversibles. La situation des bénéficiaires du RSA ayant à leur charge une famille reste prise en compte, avec un plafonnement à 50 % de la part de leur revenu pouvant être suspendue ou supprimée.Réactions et préoccupationsDes associations et syndicats ont exprimé des inquiétudes concernant ce décret. Le Conseil national des politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté et l'exclusion sociale (CNLE) a critiqué le projet, estimant qu'il pourrait impacter durement les parcours des allocataires du RSA et accentuer les inégalités de traitement.France Travail a indiqué que la nouvelle procédure de contrôle, expérimentée depuis juillet dans huit régions, n'entraîne pas de hausse du taux de sanction. Le système se concentre sur la recherche effective d'emploi plutôt que sur des absences à des rendez-vous, évitant ainsi des sanctions mécaniques.Mise en œuvre et perspectivesCe nouveau régime de sanctions est entré en vigueur le 1er juin 2025. Il s'inscrit dans le cadre de la loi plein emploi de 2023 et vise à renforcer l'accompagnement des demandeurs d'emploi tout en assurant le respect de leurs engagements.Pour consulter le texte complet du décret, vous pouvez visiter le site Légifrance.

This episode was recorded live at the Dreamit Cyber Founders Summit during RSA. Huge thanks to the Dreamit team for including me during their inaugural event!David Cass is the CISO at GSR, which is a cryptocurrency market maker. For the finance uninitiated, that basically means they buy and sell cryptocurrencies in large volumes to then buy and sell to other parties. As a result, David's role entails a lot more than the average CISO. As he will mention, it is his job to secure GSR's corporate IT like any CISO, but he also has to sign off that the cryptocurrencies they are trading are secure enough to hold a financial position without undue risk to the company. David therefore has one of the most advanced perspectives on the cybersecurity controls for cryptocurrencies. In the conversation we discussed his views on the productization of web3 security, cryptocurrency regulation, and the successes behind his CISO community CISOs connect.GSRDreamit

Guest Alan Braithwaite, Co-founder and CTO @ RunReveal Topics: SIEM is hard, and many vendors have discovered this over the years. You need to get storage, security and integration complexity just right. You also need to be better than incumbents. How would you approach this now? Decoupled SIEM vs SIEM/EDR/XDR combo. These point in the opposite directions, which side do you think will win? In a world where data volumes are exploding, especially in cloud environments, you're building a SIEM with ClickHouse as its backend, focusing on both parsed and raw logs. What's the core advantage of this approach, and how does it address the limitations of traditional SIEMs in handling scale?  Cribl, Bindplane and “security pipeline vendors” are all the rage. Won't it be logical to just include this into a modern SIEM? You're envisioning a 'Pipeline QL' that compiles to SQL, enabling 'detection in SQL.' This sounds like a significant shift, and perhaps not to the better? (Anton is horrified, for once) How does this approach affect detection engineering? With Sigma HQ support out-of-the-box, and the ability to convert SPL to Sigma, you're clearly aiming for interoperability. How crucial is this approach in your vision, and how do you see it benefiting the security community? What is SIEM in 2025 and beyond?  What's the endgame for security telemetry data? Is this truly SIEM 3.0, 4.0 or whatever-oh?

In this episode of Manager Minute, host Carol Pankow sits down with Cora McNabb, Executive Director of Kentucky Combined, for an honest, in-depth conversation about how her agency is responding to the rising fiscal pressures in vocational rehabilitation. Facing skyrocketing service costs in the wake of the pandemic, McNabb shares how Kentucky made the tough but necessary decision to implement an Order of Selection. She walks through the agency's strategic approach, including cost containment measures like staffing freezes, policy changes, and clear, consistent communication. Listeners will gain valuable insights into: ·       Using data to drive timely and effective decisions ·       Building transparency and trust through fiscal openness ·       The power of collaborative leadership in times of change ·       Why engaging RSA early and assembling diverse internal teams makes a difference This episode offers practical advice and real-world examples for VR leaders and decision-makers working to maintain service delivery in a rapidly evolving landscape. Tune in and be inspired to lead with clarity, collaboration, and a commitment to sustainability. Listen Here   Full Transcript:   Cora: How quickly things can accelerate, because you can be okay one month and then a lot of case service costs hit in the next month. Oh, you're not looking so good.   Carol: Having that bigger group. Looking at the situation, I think more minds make for better observations about what's happening in perspective. You can't do this by yourself   Cora: moving forward, I think that we're going to have deeper dives into the programmatic and fiscal data at our meetings than what we were having.   {Music} Intro Voice: Manager Minute brought to you by the VRTAC for Quality Management, Conversations powered by VR, one manager at a time, one minute at a time. Here is your host Carol Pankow.   Carol: Joining me in the studio today is Cora McNabb, director of Kentucky Combined. Cora, it's so great to see you. Thanks for being here.   Cora: Thanks for having me.   Carol: Well, so over the last five years, the fiscal landscape for the VR program has been shifting, and the pandemic had led to a slowdown in spending as customer demand decreased. But now things are ramping up again, including inflation. In March, I recorded a podcast featuring RSA in Indiana, combined director Theresa Kolezar on this very topic. CSAVR also highlighted it in a general session, and the VRTAC-QM released a tool to help state VR agencies navigate order of selection. Today, I want to have a real time discussion with Cora about how she and her team are navigating the order of selection process in Kentucky. As one of our more seasoned state directors, she's in the midst of working through these challenges, and I think it's important to hear firsthand what that looks like. So let's dig in. So, Cora, can you tell our listeners a bit about yourself and your journey into VR?   Cora: Sure. I started out in the early 90s in a nonprofit organization. I never finished college. And so about that time, my mom died and I decided to go back to college and finish. And I did a practicum in the nonprofit, and from there on, I was hooked. And it was actually a sheltered workshop at that time. And I started out in vocational evaluation. That was around the time, if you remember, supported employment started to grow. And so I had the privilege of starting that and taking over the oversight of the supported employment program. And I was there for about 14 years, and then we moved from Indiana to Kentucky. And I really didn't even want a job right away. But there was an opportunity to be an administrator for the blind agency. And I took that job. And so 20 years later, here I am and I've been the executive director. This is my sixth year.   Carol: Wow. You have a very similar background to me because I started out in that world too, of sheltered work, and then when supported employment came around, ended up leading actually in our state hospital, one of the programs to get our folks out into the community working in supported employment. It was so crazy. I look back at that and how far we've all come. That's pretty cool. So how big is the VR program in Kentucky? Like how many staff and customers do you serve and what's your budget look like to give people kind of a sense of scope?   Cora: Our budget is probably around 90 million. That includes everything. Last year we served about 40,000, and that would be also including pre-employment transition services in there. And so currently we have about 480 staff, of which around 140 of them are VR counseling staff.   Carol: Wow, you are not a small program. I didn't realize you were quite as big as you are. So how has the fiscal landscape changed for your agency over the last five years.   Cora: Our consumer services has really seen an unprecedented increase in cost after Covid 19. The pandemic and in the last several years since 2021, we have seen increases in all areas, applications, eligibilities, cases, employment outcomes as well as the numbers served. And obviously if you've got increases there, you've got increases in expenditures and you have to take into account how the cost of services have increased. Our applications from 2021 till 2024 increased 95%. Our eligibility is 102% and our expenditures increased 72%. Of course, that also meant our employment outcomes increased as well. So we've increased a lot.   Carol: Holy smokes I haven't heard numbers that big? That is huge. You know, I wonder too. Some people have been telling me that the customers that they're seeing now coming in the door are also different than kind of pre-pandemic that they said, folks that they're serving when they're looking at case characteristics are tending to be more complex. And so in addition to kind of everything going up, the individuals needing service need more things. And so the cost per case has also gone up. Has that been the case for you all?   Cora: Yes. The cost per case has also gone up.   Carol: Interesting. So, you know, during the times of plenty when the message was spend, spend, spend. What kind of strategies did you implement at that time? Because I remember you back then going like, oh my gosh, we gotta, we have to spend all this money.   Cora: Yes we did. We had a lot. We had like a full year of carryover. We increased tuition costs. You know what we paid for tuition. We suspended cost sharing or the financial needs testing. We suspended that we gave raises and we hired additional staff because the demand and, you know, we had long wait times in some of our more urban areas. And so we added additional staff to handle the caseloads.   Carol: Yeah. I remember you saying way back when, I think you had a region where you couldn't get counselors for quite some time. It was way over a year, and you were just dying to get those salary increases to see if you could get folks in. So are you now covered statewide with staff?   Cora: Yes. Since we have implemented the wages and then staff got additional wages as well, you know, annually through the state fiscal year, our turnover went from around 44% to about 2 to 3%. So we have a very stable workforce, which I think also contributed to how many people we were serving in cases that we were seeing.   Carol: So that's pretty amazing. So you can see all the, how the strategies are playing out. You know you are keeping your staff. That's been good. But then all the other pieces that you put into play, like suspending, cost sharing and all of that. What are you finding is happening today?   Cora: Well, we know that agencies rising costs against the estimated expenditures that we have in the available funding has what has pressed us to look at entering order of selection, because we know that at the end of the year, we will have spent more than what we have if we don't.   Carol: So what steps have you been taking to implement the order of selection?   Cora: A lot. We looked at both fiscal and programmatic. We did fiscal forecasting from 2021 through 2024. We looked at four years and we analyzed that data for all areas, referrals for applications. We looked at attrition costs. We looked at the applicants in each priority category by their status. We looked at our assessment cost for that time period. We looked at our attrition cost. We have consulted with our state rehab council. We've held public hearings. We're currently waiting for approval from RSA through the process for the state plan amendment. Through that process, RSA identified that we had duplicative language in our priority categories. For category one and two. We use the word most in both of those categories, but we defined it out by functional capacity. And they had not noticed that before. So they came back and told us we would have to either close one and two, or leave one and two open. And leaving two open is not an option for us. We have to close category two, so we are going to have to close all four categories while we work on addressing the issue with those priority definitions. So that's going to require obviously additional public hearings and a policy and regulatory change. So that has kind of complicated the process for us. But we need to correct that. And we started that process with our state rehab council. On Monday, we had a session where we're beginning to look at those priority categories. We also held training of staff. We've held one training and we have another one scheduled for next week. We've worked collaboratively with our cabinet leadership and the governor's office. They both have been very supportive, developed communication plan. So it's a lot. It's a long process really.   Carol: Well, it is a lot. I was thinking about that kind of the political piece of it because sometimes folks forget, you know, there's the mechanics of it. Do you have your policy in place, you know, and how's that all rolling in training of staff and doing your amendment. But politically, sometimes you will get pushback from the higher ups going, we don't want you to do this. We don't want you to go on an order, but you're not experiencing that. You are getting support.   Cora: No. And of course, we don't want to go into order selection either. So we're going to work as quickly as possible to get those definition changes done. And our policy changed, you know, the regs. But we want to make sure we do that in a quality manner because how you define those priority categories is important.   Carol: Yeah absolutely. So where are you at then in the process with getting your state plan amendment approved by RSA?   Cora: We're just waiting on it. We have sent it back and now we're waiting. We're hoping to implement by May 1st. So we're just waiting to get that back.   Carol: Yeah. So you're coming on kind of quick, too. There's, uh. Well, I shouldn't say quick. You've been working on this for a while. There's a number of states that are in the throes of various stages of working it through. One thing you said is this takes a lot of time. And I know people have called as of late, like, even in the last week or two, and they're like, we need to implement an order right away. Like, we need to go on by May 1st. And this is like an April 1st timeframe. And I'm like, that's not even possible.   Cora: No. And it is a cumbersome process. But when you think about how important the decisions are that you make, I guess it would be hard not to have a process that takes time and a lot of thought, and you need to look at everything thoroughly.   Carol: I know one of the big pieces that folks from the feds, you know, RSA will talk about is cost containment strategies, trying to look at any kind of cost containment strategies you can put in place first, or kind of alongside as you're looking at implementing an order to help, kind of rein in the expenditures. So what kind of cost containment strategies have you put into place, or are you guys looking at putting into place?   Cora: Yeah, back in I guess probably September in the fall was a telling month. We looked at that and went, whoa, our costs were way up. And of course we knew there was tuition in there. But even in spite of that, they were way up. And we saw that trend beginning to be there. And so we started to look at more data. And so in January, we stopped all out of state travel. That was, you know, funded through the VR grant. All personnel actions were put on hold. We are now in the process of looking at our contractual agreements and reducing them where we can. We also, here in Central Office, are going to consolidate some of our space, give up some of the vacant cubes that we have. And another thing that we've been looking at off and on for the last several months, our hearing aid costs, and we did release some temporary staff and some initial probation staff, which was very hard.   Carol: That is hard. None of these things are easy to do for sure. It's very painful. I've been hearing from people all over where they're having to do very similar types of things, and you've had a little bit longer on ramp because you've been noticing this since last fall. It isn't like, hello, today you just got this notice, like, say from Jake going, Cora, you don't have any money, which is happening. Other people, they're not having access to any financial information about the program. And it's really super troublesome because you can't be in control of the allocation and expenditure of your funds as the VR director, when you don't even get a financial report.   Cora: Right. That would be very concerning.   Carol: And you've really had to navigate that because you've had many different structural changes in Kentucky with where that fiscal folks land. I mean, they used to be with you, and then now you've got them way at the cabinet level. So it's a whole different picture.   Cora: Yeah. Through looking at those, we get a weekly report, we get a lot of reports. And it was looking at that where we begin to see the percentage of differences start to change. And I think, you know, if you get regular reports controlling your administrative costs are not that difficult. It's those case services costs because plans are written and money is obligated. And once that starts, unless you're running that data and really looking at it ongoing, in which this is something that we've learned, we will be looking at more data and different data going forward as we maneuver through this. You know, how many plans are in place implemented. All of that is really important to look at ahead of time, because you can see what's coming, because once they're implemented and those services are on the plan, the trains on the track and it's going.   Carol: That's right. You're talking about this and looking at this, who's the we? So I know it's you and Susie, but who's the we that's looking at the data? Do you have an expanded team looking at it? Who do you include in that?   Cora: Our leadership team, my division directors. And then also the cabinet fiscal staff.   Carol: This is sage advice because I think some leaders have had a tendency to want to keep this close to the vest, like they know there's a problem, but they're not wanting to include a bigger group. And I just need to, like, make a pitch right here. Having that group involved, like your leadership team and the fiscal people in the cabinet and having that bigger group looking at the situation, I think more minds make for better, you know, observations about what's happening in perspective.   Cora: Right.   Carol: You know, you can't do this by yourself.   Cora: No you can't.   Carol: Yeah. I'm really glad that you're doing that. So what kind of advice would you have for your colleagues across the country who are wrestling with these similar issues? What are things that you found that have been helpful for you working through this?   Cora: Well, I think to know that you're not alone in it, and it is a very difficult decision. Once you make the decision, I think it's important to act quickly and be confident, because it's really easy to blame yourself that you know you didn't do a good job, or that you have let the disability community down in your state. The grants very complicated and all the processes surrounding it, I think are complicated and challenging. I think the more people that you surround yourself with and making all those decisions, the better. It's very important. It's kind of like we ran a data set today and sent it to Jake, and I didn't think about did it have pre edits in it? And Jake came back and said, does this have presets in it? Because the data can be deceiving in itself too. And then know that how quickly things can accelerate, because you can be okay one month and then a lot of case service costs hit in the next month. Oh you're not looking so good. And the fiscal forecasting group has been great to be a part of all of those groups. The new fiscal forecasting tool. There's all kinds of tools that are out there. And then I know I always say this for those states where they don't have those relationships somehow be working on them, because without them you're not going to be successful.   Carol: Yeah, that's all very good advice. I do want to dig in for a minute on the data, because I know folks like to look at different things. What have you found to be most helpful to you and the leadership team when you're talking about the data? What are the kinds of things you guys are looking at that have been really impactful? And is there any way that they're displayed or something that has been more helpful to you?   Cora: Well, I think the annual cost of services over time, looking at that historical data, how many referrals that you have, how many applications that are currently in the hopper, the attrition cost, looking at those help. Because if you know about 38% of your cost, that is going to you know, those authorizations are not going to go to payment. That helps just all kinds of data, really. And looking at it by priority category. And one of the things Susie and I have talked a lot about is, and RSA mentioned to us is, are we too top heavy in one priority category over another one? Because then that makes it difficult as you are looking at closing. And that's kind of what happened to us, by the way, that we define those functional limitations. Now we're kind of stuck until we get our definitions changed. We have to close both one and two, and that's not what we wanted to do. We wanted to leave one open and just close two.   Carol: How many categories do you have?   Cora: We have four.   Carol: Okay. Because I know I've seen people have even like 5 or 6. And I feel like the more you finely slice and dice those, they end up almost becoming irrelevant in a way, because you might have a half a percent of people in a category. So you go, you're closing this. And it's confusing to the counselors, like, how am I finally finding this? It makes it harder to implement and it's causing you more grief really.   Cora: Yes. I think that we're going to try to simplify ours as we move forward.   Carol: Yeah, that sounds really good. Have you had to do anything in particular to help people get comfortable, like in understanding and interpreting the data? Because I know sometimes folks, you know, everybody's minds just work differently. And so you could have a report. And for some people it's super obvious. Oh yeah. Like you can interpret that and it says x, y, z. Other folks are like it just looks like Greek on a page. Have you had to do anything to help kind of with like data literacy?   Cora: Well, it's interesting that you say that because informing the public and the public hearings, I think that was difficult for individuals because and part of that is probably they just don't simply want to see it because they don't want us to close the categories. You know, because it's not it's not a good thing to do. But I think once we presented the data and would show what large percentages of increase that we had, that people would go, oh yeah, and our state rehab council, they were very supportive and could see that. But I think just the general public, it's more difficult, probably because it's their child or their, you know, grandchild and it's just more difficult. So that has been difficult getting everyone to understand it. That's a good point, though. The data sometimes is difficult to accept.   Carol: Well, it definitely lends to that whole when you have a communication plan, you're really talking differently to different groups because you've got obviously kind of your higher ups in the politicals and you've got your own staff and the consumers and then the other stakeholders. So the messaging may look different just because you're trying to communicate in a way that people can understand what's going on. Right? Absolutely. Yeah. So what are you projecting for the future? Now we've gotten the, you know, continuing resolution came, the money came, which is good. What are you looking at when you look out a year or two? What are you thinking.   Cora: In my crystal ball? I don't know really what to expect. So hoping that our funding stays stable. The cola was great. That was a great surprise for all of us. And getting that and you know, moving forward, I think that we're going to have deeper dives into the programmatic and fiscal data at our meetings than what we were having, making sure that we're marrying those two together. Because if you just look at one and goodness, if you're not looking at it at all, then you really are having difficulty. I feel like we have some hope knowing that the rest of the award did come, and we need to build that carry forward money back up, not to the point where we had it, but we have to have that.   Carol: Yeah, I know RSA said recently about, you know, building that money up, but they were like, you really should in this time of continuing resolutions, their rule of thumb is you should have at least two months of kind of cash available so that you're not scrambling when we're waiting to see what's happening with the CR or whatever. And I know some of the agencies have been closer to the vest, like they're kind of right on the penny with every dollar that's come in is getting spent. So it is good to have a little bit of a reserve.   Cora: I think this is the first time in six years that we've gotten to the, you know, and I imagine there are other states that have really expended almost all their money because we were, what, six months in?   Carol: Yeah.   Cora: Yeah.   Carol: People cried. People cried. When the new GAN came out. I talked to over a dozen directors. People were yelling and had tears of joy. People were just overwhelmed because it has been so stressful. And folks, not sleeping at night. You know, it's it's been tough, very tough. So I definitely think you have great advice for folks. So if you're not looking at your data, you need to. And if you're only looking at it one way, and I know a couple folks were caught off guard that way, they really weren't kind of marrying up what was happening programmatically with the fiscal data. They weren't looking at both sides of the picture. And like you said, you had that just Ginormous increase of applications and eligibilities and all these folks coming in the door and the people have changed. If you aren't looking at all of that through that lens and then looking at what's happening over here financially, you're kind of missing a really critical piece. And it does bring your fiscal side of the house together with the program people, which is so important.   Cora: Right.   Carol: Yeah.   Cora: When you see those increases, then you should mentally note right away you're going to see expenditures increase.   Carol: Yeah. Well, and I like that you said to Jake was able you weren't sure on the one data. You know, did it include the Pre-ETS or not. And Jake, at the cabinet level, RSA knew enough because he's gotten so involved in the program, knows enough to call you and go, hey, Cora, does this data include the Pre-ETS? That's what we want across the country. We want fiscal staff to understand enough about the program that they can have that realization to ask a darn question like, what is this inclusive of? Above, right? Yeah, that is great.   Cora: And care.   Carol: And care. Absolutely. Like that leads to a lot. Oh my gosh. Well, Cora, I just I think the world of you, you've been one of our longer term standing directors, even at the amount of years you've had in now doing this. We've just had such a turnover, and I continue to see that, we had two more directors leaving last week. It just does not stop. So I think one great piece of advice from you, though, is including that leadership team. You can't just have one person in the agency that understands everything going on because that person walks out the door. It is tough to recover because everybody else left behind has no clue what's going on.   Cora: Right.   Carol: Well, thank you, Cora, I really appreciate you having this conversation. And for folks that are listening, definitely remember, you can always reach out to us at the QM. You can also reach out to your RSA state team. They are super helpful as you're facing these really tough decisions you're making. And if you're considering going on an order of selection, I say involve RSA early. Early in the process. Cora knows it's a long road to hoe. There's a lot of things that have to be covered, but it's important because you're making a very important decision, so you don't want to leave any stone unturned for sure.   Cora: No. They've been a great support for us. We have a great team at RSA that we work with.   Carol: I love that. Well, thanks, Cora, I hope you have a great day.   Cora: Appreciate it. Bye bye.   {Music} Outro Voice: Conversations powered by VR, one manager at a time, one minute at a time, brought to you by the VR TAC for Quality Management.

Ontario weather struck again, and while its nice and sunny, its downright cold in the small town I grew up in. So the weekend trip of nostalgia and family duties will have to wait until the end of the summer. But that just means that I have extra time this weekend, so RSA is out at the usual time! I doubt we'll be going back to the old "Summer Hours" where I'd post the show on Mondays. I don't live in the saddle anymore, so I have time for all of my various hobbies! Now who wants to import a Jonsbo N5 computer case or two into Canada so I can save some space! Great show this week with some new and some returning names!

Guests: Eric Foster, CEO of Tenex.AI Venkata Koppaka, CTO of Tenex.AI  Topics: Why is your AI-powered MDR special? Why start an MDR from scratch using AI? So why should users bet on an “AI-native” MDR instead of an MDR that has already got its act together and is now applying AI to an existing set of practices?  What's the current breakdown in labor between your human SOC analysts vs your AI SOC agents? How do you expect this to evolve and how will that change your unit economics?  What tasks are humans uniquely good at today's SOC? How do you expect that to change in the next 5 years? We hear concerns about SOC AI missing things –but we know humans miss things all the time too. So how do you manage buyer concerns about the AI agents missing things?  Let's talk about how you're helping customers measure your efficacy overall. What metrics should organizations prioritize when evaluating MDR?  Resources: Video EP223 AI Addressable, Not AI Solvable: Reflections from RSA 2025 (quote from Eric in the title!)

In a world on fire, where every system we rely on is buckling under the weight of its own contradictions, it's time to admit that control is a dangerous illusion. But while politicians and corporations cling to algorithms for predictability, artists, writers, and musicians have always known the truth: chaos isn't a threat – it's a gift.At this RSA event, Margaret Heffernan explores how our obsession with stability and ‘solutions' – now amplified by artificial intelligence – is not only futile but potentially destructive. She invites us to rethink the role of AI in creativity, questioning whether art and innovation can survive when algorithms are programmed to reduce risk and spontaneity.In conversation with prominent figures in arts and culture, Margaret will challenge deeply ingrained beliefs about how we live, work, and create in a world increasingly shaped by AI. Through the lens of those who thrive in uncertainty, she will explore whether creativity can coexist with systems designed for control – and how we can harness both chaos and technology to provoke meaningful action in turbulent times. Speakers:Margaret Heffernan, author, broadcaster, speakerJosette Bushell-Mingo OBE, Principal, The Royal Central School of Speech and DramaAndrew Grant, RDI, landscape architectChair:Andy Haldane, RSA Chief ExecutiveDonate to the RSA: https://thersa.co/3ZyPOEaBecome an RSA Events sponsor: https://utm.guru/ueembFollow RSA on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thersaorg/Like RSA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theRSAorg/Listen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYUJoin our Fellowship: https://www.thersa.org/fellowship/join
