#5 Ransomware Prevention: A Shared Responsibility and AI's Role in Mitigating Supply Chain Issues
This episode is all about understanding the responsibilities of non-technical people in preventing ransomware attacks and how AI can help mitigate supply chain issues. We explore how ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a victim's files, making them inaccessible until a ransom is paid to the attackers, and how non-technical people can take simple steps to reduce the risk of a ransomware attack. We also discuss how AI can be used to improve the efficiency and reliability of the supply chain by providing better visibility, identifying potential problems, and automating many of the tasks involved in supply chain management. Join me for an informative and helpful discussion on the importance of understanding these two important topics.

#3 Should we always fear from technology?
In today's episode, I discuss two topics.
The first is about Why people shouldn't fear technology. Inspired by an article by Kurt Dykeme I give my insights into how we should think about getting time to be creative instead of being deceptive and close to the changes the technology brings:
