"The Data Diva" Talks Privacy Podcast The Data Diva E140 - Dr. Keeper Sharkey and Debbie Reynolds
Debbie Reynolds, “The Data Diva” talks to Dr. Keeper Sharkey, Founder, and CEO, of ODE L3C, Data Scientist and Expert in Quantum Computing. We discuss her expertise in Quantum Computing which offers an exponential increase in computational power, allowing for faster and more efficient problem-solving than classical computing. This increase in power also poses a threat, as it could potentially be used to break encryption keys and passwords, making data more vulnerable to theft and hacking. Quantum Computing can help solve complex problems quickly, but it can also be used by bad actors to create negative impacts. To protect against this, organizations need to collaborate and share information, and the public needs to be educated on how to protect their data. A US public-private partnership called Infragard is working to eliminate digital exhaust and provide resources to help people protect their data. Dr.Sharkey expresses concern about the use of AI and quantum computing, noting that people are not educated enough to protect themselves and that AI can be used as a weapon. She believes that people should be educated about the potential dangers of AI and that it should be used for good. She also believes that people should be able to retain their privacy and that progress should be made without hate which is her hope for the future.
