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

Today, we are diving into a topic that is not just crucial but also ethically challenging—how those who work in the tech industry can and should approach ethics in their daily practice.Our guide in this intellectual journey is Marc Steen, a senior research scientist at TNO in The Netherlands. Marc is an expert in Human-Centred Design and Value-Sensitive Design, with a strong focus on the responsible innovation and applied ethics of technology. He asks the questions that many of us perhaps hesitate to ask—especially when it comes to the ethics behind algorithms and AI systems. With an extensive background in both scholarly and popular writing, Marc aims to push the boundaries of ethical discourse in technology.Now, why is this important? As we engage more and more with technology, its repercussions echo louder and louder through the hallways of our societal norms, affecting our collective values, freedoms, and even democracy itself. So, when we talk about tech, we're not just talking about a tool or a service; we're discussing a societal force that shapes our daily lives.Marc's recent book, "Ethics for People Who Work in Tech," serves as a roadmap for professionals in the tech industry. Whether you are a computer scientist, a software developer, or even someone involved in policy-making, this book aims to empower you to think ethically. It provides a practical, three-step iterative approach for integrating ethics into projects and uses four distinct ethical perspectives to evaluate outcomes. The ultimate goal? To design and use technologies that contribute to a just society—a society where people can truly live well together.Today, we are going to explore these ideas deeply. We'll question the uneasy aspects of technology that most shy away from. We'll explore how we can achieve a state where innovation isn't just about creating the new and the powerful, but also about ensuring fairness, freedom, and communal well-being.So sit back, and let's embark on this philosophical inquiry into the ethics of tech. Because, if technology is shaping our society, it's our moral imperative to ensure that it shapes it for the better. Stay with us._____________________________About the BookThis book is for people who work in the tech industry—computer and data scientists, software developers and engineers, designers, and people in business, marketing or management roles.

Guest: Bill Raduchel, AuthorOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/wjraduchel/____________________________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 listeners, welcome to another riveting episode of the "Redefining Society Podcast." I am your host, Marco Ciappelli, here to walk you with open arms into the deep interplays at the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and society.Today, we open the pages of the groundbreaking book "The New Technology State," meticulously penned by the veteran tech luminary, Bill Raduchel. With a resume boasting high-ranking roles in globally recognized companies such as Sun Microsystems and AOL Time Warner, and accolades including the CIO of the year, Bill stands as a fortress of knowledge and experience in the tech world, possessing insights forged from over sixty fruitful years on the front lines of the technological revolution.In this masterwork, the intersections of society and technology are explored with a profound depth, unraveling the threads of a prediction made over sixty years ago by the revered economist John Kenneth Galbraith, a prophecy which posited that the global elite would seize the ever-advancing computing technology to further deepen their vaults and amass unprecedented power.Drawing from rich personal encounters and dialogues with esteemed figures such as British Army officer turned MP, Tom Tugendhat, and media giant Paul Dacre, Bill paints a vivid picture of a world undergoing rapid and unrelenting change, a transformation facilitated by the relentless march of technology. His narratives vividly illustrate a society teetering on the brink, stretched to its limits by the pace of change which is seemingly only accelerating, spurred on by the democratization of technology creation.As we delve into their engrossing conversation, we witness a philosophical dance, navigating through the intricacies of technological advancements and their rippling effects on society. Bill's seasoned perspective leads us on a journey from the first encounter with a computer at a tender age of 15 to the dramatic transformations he has witnessed and engineered in the world of technology.With candid retrospections and poignant illustrations like the Viking’s thousand steel swords analogy, we are invited to ponder on the weighty implications of an increasingly fragile yet efficient society; a society united yet divided, caught in a delicate balance of power that might just be held in the hands of a few prodigiously talented individuals likened to the elite players in a professional sports team.In today's conversation, we traverse the technological landscape, touching on seemingly fantastical elements that have already become an intricate part of our daily realities, to the resonating echoes from the halls of Harvard where young Bill first grasped the prophetic insights of Galbraith.As I pick the brains of the man who has lived through the dazzling trajectory of the technological era, we open the floor to ponder on whether we stand on the precipice of revolution, as society grapples with changes that are seemingly too vast and rapid to fully comprehend. We find ourselves asking, was this level of change inevitable, or are we here because we failed to heed the warnings of those who saw what was coming?Join us as we unfold this rich tapestry of insights, experiences, and foresights into a world rapidly morphing under the influence of technology. Let us together navigate this brave new world, grasping the nuances and understanding the deep-seated ramifications of this technological era, guided by the wise reflections of Bill Raduchel, a man with an intimate understanding of the field.Dear listeners, as we unravel this tapestry of experiences and foresights, I encourage you to pause, reflect, and possibly redefine your understanding of society as we know it.Stay tuned, as we dive into a dialogue that navigates the thin line between the real and the digital world, a conversation laden with wisdom, rich narratives, and a deep exploration of our evolving society, here on the "Redefining Society Podcast."_____________________________About the BookThis book is about society—how it has changed and what technology is enabling us to do to ourselves.Sixty years ago, legendary economist John Kenneth Galbraith issued a grim prophecy that the global elite would harness the potential of the burgeoning computing revolution to accumulate even more wealth and power.His masterwork The New Industrial State redefined our perception of ourselves and our society. The computing revolution has turned his predictions into a reality that triggered conversations between technology pioneer Bill Raduchel (a former colleague of Galbraith's at Harvard) and British Army officer turned MP Tom Tugendhat.The New Technology State recounts their discussions and reveals how the wealthy and powerful have used the incredible technological advances of the past half-century to gain unprecedented advantages and what we can do to reclaim control of our future._____________________________ResourcesThe New Technology State: How Our Digital Dreams Became Societal Nightmares-and What We Can Do about It (Book): https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-new-technology-state-bill-raduchel/1143443279____________________________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

I am Marco Ciappelli, your inquisitive host, steering the thoughtful ship of the 'Redefining Society Podcast.' Today, we find ourselves traversing the intricate narratives in our monthly sojourn titled 'A Carbon, a Silicon, and a Cell walk into a Bar...'. Dr. Bruce Y. Lee accompanies me as we ponder over the fervid topics of our time, endeavoring to unravel the intricacies at the cusp of technology and humanity’s well-being.In today’s episodic exploration, we commence with a heart-heavy yet candid dialogue on the prevailing environmental calamities - events that don’t just shake our geographies but stir our collective consciousness, urging us to look deeper, to understand further, and to act responsibly. I share the platform with the meticulous Dr. Bruce Y. Lee, as we meander through tragic trails of wildfires that have scorched lands and imprinted irreparable marks on human and ecological landscapes. We intertwine this with reflections on the state of healthcare, questioning if advancements like telemedicine could stand tall as beacons of assistance in such times of distress.Together, we embark on a philosophical excavation, delving into the paradox of technology - the creator and the potential solver of modern dilemmas. Can technology extricate us from the predicaments it inadvertently puts us in? This inquisition takes us down paths less traveled as we analyze whether technology truly meets our essential needs, or if it merely burgeons unasked, sometimes unneeded, promising solutions to non-existent problems while turning a blind eye to pressing matters of the heart and earth.As we steer deeper, we find ourselves grappling with the overarching dilemma - the push and pull of technology. Dr. Lee urges us to discern between technology that spontaneously proliferates, inundating us with options we never asked for, and technology that emerges as a responsive force to existing issues. The dialogue doesn't shy away from holding a mirror to our society, asking if we are, indeed, nurturing innovations that genuinely tend to the wounds of the environment, health, and society.Listeners, as we venture forth, discerning the interplay of wildfires, environmental health, and the role technology plays in this grand tapestry, we invite you to muse with us. How can technology, an entity so pervasive in our lives, be channeled to not only remediate the consequences of calamities but to foresee, prevent, and safeguard the sanctity of life and environment?We thread this intricate discourse with a desire for solutions, not just in the face of wildfires but in addressing the ubiquity of microplastics, the imperatives of environmental health, and the latent opportunities residing in technology’s prudent application.Join us, as we muse on the pulsating realities of today’s world, teetering between despair and hope, chaos and order, urging you to ponder – where do we stand in this era of technological prowess? What priorities must guide our hand, and how do we chart a course that respects the delicate balance between humanity and the force of nature?Listen in as we meander through the captivating stories “At The Intersection Of Technology, Cybersecurity, and Society,” unraveling threads that bind our fate with that of technology. We invite you to engage, to share, and to be a part of this pivotal conversation that seeks not just to redefine society but to shape a future that harmonizes technology, health, and the vibrant canvas of human experience.Dive deep with us in this enriching episode, where musings aren’t just contemplations but a clarion call for reflection, understanding, and action. Join this intricate dance of ideas, where we are all explorers seeking paths of enlightenment, today on the 'Redefining Society Podcast.' Welcome to the intersection of contemplation and reality._____________________________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

I'm Marco Ciappelli, and today's conversation goes beyond the pixels and data points to explore a realm that both fascinates and bewilders us—the world of Generative AI in the context of photography, art, and advertising.Generative AI is an entity unto itself, for it enables us to create photos that don't just replicate reality, but often transcend it. Imagine a world where one doesn't need to stand in front of the Eiffel Tower to be photographed there. A realm where you can immortalize a moment with a loved one who is no longer with us—crafted not by mere camera clicks but by algorithms. The digital and the "real" are becoming increasingly indistinguishable, as lines blur and boundaries fade.As we delve into this, we must ask ourselves: What does this mean for traditional photography? For the art of capturing a moment as it is? A craft which required meticulous understanding of lighting, posing, and the subtle interplay of colors now finds itself at a crossroads. And what of the world of modeling and advertising? Where does this put professional models and photographers who spend years perfecting their skill?Moreover, we cannot overlook the societal implications. The seductive ease of creating our own version of reality with a few clicks carries with it ethical questions and dilemmas. When reality itself becomes subjective, or even editable, we begin to lose touch with a common ground of shared experiences. In our desire for perfection, there's the risk of obliterating the raw, flawed beauty of real life.But let's not fall into an abyss of despair. Technology, after all, is a double-edged sword; it can isolate us but also bring us closer to experiences we might never have otherwise had. It democratizes opportunities but also raises concerns about authenticity. My guest today, William Wu, joins me to ponder these questions, offering a perspective that bridges business insights and philosophical quandaries.So, as we navigate this discourse, let's remind ourselves that we are virtually connected, not just by wires and Wi-Fi, but by a collective consciousness that continues to redefine society in ways that are both intriguing and unsettling.I invite you to lean in, listen, and let this conversation catalyze your own thoughts on how Generative AI is reshaping our understanding of what's real, what's possible, and what it means to be truly human in this ever-evolving digital landscape.Your curiosity is the key, and the conversation has just begun. Subscribe, share, and stay tuned for a dialogue that promises to provoke, challenge, and inspire. Welcome to the Redefining Society 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

I am Marco Ciappelli, your guide through this intricate labyrinth. Today, we venture into the pressing reality that our children's lives are ever more public, ever more scrutinized, and ever more entangled with their digital identities. This digital sphere isn't a separate reality; it's an integral part of their lives, shaping their reputations, their self-perceptions, and their futures.In this digital age, the lines between the online world and "real life" are not just blurred—they are indistinguishable. Our kids grow up with likes, shares, and retweets as measures of their worth, all while wrestling with the big questions of identity and character development. How can they figure out who they really are when every action, every choice, every moment is up for public scrutiny?My guest today is Devorah Heitner, author of the definitive work "Growing Up in Public," a book that offers a crucial road map for parents to navigate this complex terrain with their children. Heitner uncovers how the digital world has irrevocably changed the rites of passage for our kids, focusing not just on the threats of exposure or cancel culture but the deeper issues of character and authenticity.Drawing from her extensive work and research—conversations with kids, parents, educators, and experts—Devorah equips us to cut through the digital noise and connect with our children on a meaningful level. Her book provides actionable strategies that emphasize character over consequences, guiding us to support our children as they navigate what it means to grow up publicly, both online and offline.So, are we bystanders in this digital narrative, or can we actively shape a more compassionate, more nuanced conversation that respects the fusion of technology and human vulnerability?As technology becomes even more integrated into our real lives, let's question, let's reflect, and let's redefine what it means to grow up in public.Listen, share, and subscribe! _____________________________About the BookThe definitive book on helping kids navigate growing up in a world where nearly every moment of their lives can be shared and comparedWith social media and constant connection, the boundaries of privacy are stretched thin. Growing Up in Public shows parents how to help tweens and teens navigate boundaries, identity, privacy, and reputation in their digital world.We can track our kids’ every move with apps, see their grades within minutes of being posted, and fixate on their digital footprint, anxious that a misstep could cause them to be “canceled” or even jeopardize their admission to college. And all of this adds pressure on kids who are coming of age immersed in social media platforms that emphasize “personal brand,” “likes,” and “gotcha” moments. How can they figure out who they really are with zero privacy and constant judgment? Devorah Heitner shows us that by focusing on character, not the threat of getting caught or exposed, we can support our kids to be authentically themselves.Drawing on her extensive work with parents and schools as well as hundreds of interviews with kids, parents, educators, clinicians, and scholars, Heitner offers strategies for parenting our kids in an always-connected world. With relatable stories and research-backed advice, Growing Up in Public empowers parents to cut through the overwhelm to connect with their kids, recognize how to support them, and help them figure out who they are when everyone is watching._____________________________ResourcesGrowing Up in Public: Coming Up of Age in a Digital World (website): https://devorahheitner.com/growing-up-in-public/Growing Up in Public: Coming Up of Age in a Digital World (Amazon): https://www.amazon.com/Growing-Up-Public-Coming-Digital/dp/0593420969____________________________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

We discuss the unresolved challenges and systemic barriers that make this an enduring issue with Nicole Schwartz from The Diana Initiative.In today's episode of "Redefining Society," I, Marco Ciappelli, dig deep into a conversation that is as pertinent as it is perennial—diversity and inclusion within the realm of technology and cybersecurity. It's a topic that prompts me to utter phrases like, "Why are we still talking about this?" and "I wish we didn't have to discuss it." These phrases are an acknowledgement of the dissonance between our rapid technological evolution and the sluggish moral progression in how we treat one another, both in society at large and within specialized communities.Why, you may ask, is this conversation appearing on "Redefining Society," a platform typically dedicated to musing on the societal implications of technology, rather than a specialized InfoSec or cybersecurity channel? The answer is simple: The issue of diversity and inclusion transcends the boundaries of any one field. Though today's discussion is deeply rooted in technology and cybersecurity, it is, at its core, a human issue, a societal challenge.Our guest today is Nicole Schwartz, the COO of the Diana Initiative, an organization founded to address issues affecting underrepresented gender minorities within the tech and cybersecurity spheres. Established informally during a lunch conversation at DEF CON—Hacker Summer Camp—the Diana Initiative started as a gathering point for like-minded individuals. It has since evolved into an organization of significant heft, hosting events and supporting budding professionals in the field.Why focus on the Diana Initiative today? Because when it comes to addressing the pressing issues of diversity and inclusion, this organization doesn't just walk the talk—it runs. It's an organization that has manifested change so palpably that it has faced "shutdowns" from fire marshals for exceeding capacity—ironically, a glaring testament to the unfulfilled needs and pent-up demands it seeks to address.The Diana Initiative is a reminder that inclusion is not just a word to be thrown around but a practice to be lived daily. It serves as a physical and conceptual space where marginalized voices can find resonance, away from the discordant echoes of an industry not built with them in mind.And so, in an age where our virtual identities often speak louder than our physical selves, the Diana Initiative provides an indispensable counterpoint, a reminder that the most significant firewalls we need to break down are not those made of codes and algorithms, but those constructed by prejudice, bias, and societal inertia.Stay with us as we delve into a conversation that aims to challenge and redefine society's understanding of technology, cybersecurity, and above all, humanity itself._____________________________ResourcesThe Diana Initiative: https://www.dianainitiative.org/The Diana Initiative Linktree: https://linktr.ee/dianainitiative____________________________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
