Marco Ciappelli, ITSPmagazine
Musing On Society, Technology, and Cybersecurity | Hosted by Marco Ciappelli
Let’s face it: the future is now. We live in a hybrid analog-digital society, and it’s time to stop ignoring the profound impact technology has on our lives.
The line between the physical and virtual worlds? It’s no longer real — just a figment of our imagination. We’re constantly juggling convenience, privacy, freedom, security, and even the future of humanity in a precarious balancing act.
There’s no better place than here, and no better time than now, to reflect on our relationship with technology — and redefine what society means in this new age.

Personalized Health In The AI Age | A Carbon, a Silicon, and a Cell walk into a bar... | A Redefining Society Podcast Series With Recurring Guest Dr. Bruce Y. Lee and Host Marco Ciappelli

I'm your host, Marco Ciappelli, and this series aims to explore the complexities of technology, health, and society. Today, I'm joined once again by Dr. Bruce Y. Lee, an expert in systems modeling, digital health, and a Professor of Health Policy at CUNY. The title of our series might sound like a tongue-in-cheek joke, but it's a guiding compass. Carbon for organic life, Silicon for technology, and Cell for health—each of these elements comes together in a conversation that aims to redefine how we perceive society.Our discussion today turns to the subject of personalized health, a topic we often underestimate. Bruce, who just spoke at a conference sponsored by the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, delves into the myriad of variables that play into personalized health. From metabolism to social structures, every person is a sum of complex factors that dictate their health outcomes. And while we may recognize the importance of personalized nutrition and tailored health recommendations, Bruce highlights a crucial point: no single diet or lifestyle change is a one-size-fits-all solution.Dr. Lee dives into the limitations of general health recommendations. Sure, everyone should aim for good sleep and avoid smoking, but what about the nitty-gritty details that are tailored just for you? This is where artificial intelligence (AI) could shine, by collecting and synthesizing data on our behaviors, physiology, and even our microbiomes to offer more individualized health guidelines."Health is can be very personal," Bruce notes. The reason one person's diet might work wonders but make another gain weight is due to the vast differences in our internal systems. "It takes a lot of time to really figure someone out," he adds, emphasizing that many factors are often overlooked—such as the unique microbiomes each of us hosts. And let's be honest; it's not exactly common practice to discuss your gut health over a coffee chat with friends.In essence, the realm of personalized health is not just a growing field but a necessary one, especially as we look to navigate the complexities of modern life. For example, the challenges of describing your ailments to a doctor accurately—or even understanding what lifestyle adjustments could be beneficial for your well-being—are hurdles that AI might help us leap over.So, as we continue to weave through the labyrinthine relationships between technology, health, and society, this episode serves as a great reminder. Personalized health isn't just the future; it's a critical present that we need to understand and embrace.Cheers, and until next time!_____________________________ResourcesPHICOR: https://www.phicor.org/AIMINGS: https://www.phicor.org/aimings____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllTUoWMGGQHlGVZA575VtGr9Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast

Navigating the Privacy Maze: Mozilla’s Vehicle Privacy Report Sparks a Drive | A BlackCloak Brand Story with Chris Pierson and Ingrid Gliottone
The recent report by Mozilla, shedding light on the privacy concerns around modern vehicles, struck a chord. Notably, every car brand reviewed, including behemoths like Ford, Volkswagen, and Toyota, flunked the privacy test. This revelation steered a fascinating conversation with Chris Pierson and Ingrid Gliottone from BlackCloak during a brand story recording for the Redefining Society podcast. Our focus veered towards the lurking privacy and security issues tied to the modern, tech-savvy vehicles we so casually entrust with our data.The modern car is no longer just a mode of transport—it's a smart gadget, a data hub on wheels. But as the wheels spin, so does the reel of our personal information, weaving into the vast web of data, ready for harvest by not just the car makers, but a string of 'they' – the infotainment system providers, app developers, network providers, and possibly cyber rogues. The conversation took a deeper dive as Chris, the CEO of BlackCloak, elucidated the firm's mission—shielding corporate executives and key personnel from personal cyber threats that could ricochet back to the corporations.The Mozilla report is an alarm bell, underscoring the high time to separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of what data is essential for functionality and what merely serves as a gold mine for advertisers or a hunting ground for cyber-attackers. This blend of privacy and security, or the lack thereof, is a cocktail we are forced to sip, as Ingrid pointed out the lack of clarity presented to buyers at the point of sale concerning the privacy policies tied to these vehicles.The promise of tech advancements in vehicles is dazzling—better shocks for off-roaders, safety features to prevent accidents during a sudden snooze, and so on. Yet, as Chris highlighted, there's a dark side. Some policies mentioned collecting data about one's sex life and genetic information— a far cry from the basic expectations of privacy.As the conversation with BlackCloak unrolled, the blend of excitement and concern was palpable. The question now is not about halting the march of technology but steering it towards a path where privacy and security are not the passengers but co-drivers.The findings from the Mozilla report and insights from BlackCloak are not just food for thought, but a call to action. It is crucial to reckon with the reality of the modern-day vehicles doubling as data hubs and to steer the conversation towards a road where transparency, consent, and security are the landmarks. I urge you to dive into BlackCloak's offerings to explore how they are redefining the security landscape, ensuring the privacy and security of your personal digital realm, including that computer on wheels parked in your driveway. Visit BlackCloak to discover what they offer in shielding the modern-day knights from the unseen arrows of the digital world.Guests:Chris Pierson, Founder and CEO of BlackCloak [@BlackCloakCyber]On Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/drchristopherpierson/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/drchrispiersonIngrid Gliottone, Chief Experience Officer of BlackCloak [@BlackCloakCyber]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/ingridgliottone/ResourcesLearn more about BlackCloak and their offering: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story

It's Marco Ciappelli of the 'Redefining Society Podcast', and today we have an episode that promises a whole lot of geeking out, pondering, and some classic bantering. The intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society has never seemed so alive, and I'm excited to navigate it with you.Now, if you've been here before, you'd remember the brilliant Matthew Rosenquist. Well, he's back, always giving me a hard time, but hey, it’s all in good spirit! We've exchanged a few interesting jabs on LinkedIn recently, and that’s kind of what led us here. It's amazing how online conversations can blossom into profound discussions, isn’t it?And speaking of which, Sean Martin decided to crash our little party today. Though he claims he’s here just to join Matthew in poking fun at me, I know he's got a treasure trove of insights from his three decades in tech and cybersecurity. So, welcome, Sean! Hope you’re ready to redefine some societal norms with us.Alright, so what's today's big question? Well, remember how ITSP Magazine started at that unique crossroad of cybersecurity and society? We've expanded since then, encompassing the larger realm of technology. The connections are becoming denser, and the implications? Oh boy, they're growing by the day. And then there’s AI. We can't really sidestep it anymore, can we? It's here, evolving, and redefining our societal landscape.Matthew had a speaker event recently about cybersecurity and AI. I thought, why not pull him and Sean into a room and unravel this puzzle? Between Matthew's forward-thinking perspectives and Sean's vast experience, we're bound to touch upon some hard-hitting truths.So today, we're connecting the dots, discussing AI's role in the future of cybersecurity, and diving into its implications on our society. We’ll discuss the tech side, of course, but I’m especially intrigued about its potential for social engineering. I mean, is AI's most significant threat the way it can manipulate us humans because of our inherent gullibility?There's so much ground to cover. I can’t promise we’ll have all the answers, but hey, it's the journey and discussion that counts. So, buckle up! It's time to redefine, muse, and maybe even challenge some of our preconceived notions. Let's get this conversation started.Listen, enjoy, think, share, and subscribe to my podcast!_____________________________Resources ____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllTUoWMGGQHlGVZA575VtGr9Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast

The Camp David Pact: A Dual Focus on Defense and Tech in the Global Semiconductor Landscape | A Conversation with Bill Echikson | Redefining Society with Marco Ciappelli
Guest: Bill Echikson, Senior Fellow at Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) [@cepa]On Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/billechikson/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/bechkson____________________________Host: Marco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society PodcastOn ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli_____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebDevo 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspdvweb_____________________________Episode IntroductionHello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Redefining Society, part of the ITSPmagazine Podcast Network. I'm your host, Marco Ciappelli, and today we're diving deep into a topic that's not just about technology, but also about geopolitics, economics, and the very fabric of our global society.If you've been following this channel, you know we explore the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society. We don't just look at the bits and bytes; we look at the bigger picture—the societal and human implications of the tech world we live in. Sometimes we get philosophical, sometimes we get speculative, but we always aim to get you thinking.Today, we have a special guest, Bill Echikson, a Senior Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis, or CEPA for short. Bill brings a wealth of knowledge not just in tech policy but also in how technology intersects with geopolitics. We're going to talk about a subject that's making headlines but is often misunderstood: the global semiconductor industry and its geopolitical ramifications, particularly concerning China.Why semiconductors, you ask? Well, these tiny chips are the building blocks of modern technology. From your smartphone to national defense systems, semiconductors are the unsung heroes—or perhaps the hidden puppet masters—of our digital age. And right now, there's a sort of 'chip war' going on, a struggle for control and dominance in this crucial sector.We'll be referencing a recent article from CEPA titled "Camp David Pact is About Defense — And Tech," which discusses a new security agreement between the U.S., Japan, and South Korea. The pact aims to limit China's access to advanced technology that could have military applications. But as we'll discuss, the implications go far beyond just military concerns.So, whether you're a tech enthusiast, a policy wonk, or just someone who wants to understand the world a little better, this episode is for you. We're going to explore how technology isn't just a tool but a force that shapes economies, influences politics, and impacts human lives on a grand scale._____________________________ResourcesCamp David Pact is About Defense — And Tech: https://cepa.org/article/camp-david-pact-is-about-tech-and-defense/____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllTUoWMGGQHlGVZA575VtGr9Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/advertise-on-itspmagazine-podcast
