Episode Overview

Available for streaming for more than a year, this episode explores the evolving landscape of digital security. We examine concerns that advanced artificial intelligence could significantly enhance hacking capabilities, alongside the ongoing menace of ransomware syndicates keeping personal data captive. To provide expert insight into these emerging cyber dangers, we interview a former FBI specialist.

In other segments, the program features a listener’s initiative to utilize dermatological technology to teach students about the critical importance of sun safety.
