Tech Life

Running for more than a year, this series explores the evolving landscape of digital security. In this week’s episode, we examine growing anxieties regarding the potential for advanced artificial intelligence to amplify hacking capabilities, as well as the persistent menace of ransomware syndicates that hold personal information captive. We sit down with a former FBI specialist to discuss the current state of cyber threats.

Additionally, we feature a listener who is leveraging dermatological technology to teach students about the critical importance of sun safety.
