Recent reports show that DeFi exploits totaled $12 billion in 2021. Between this fraud spike, the social engineering attack at Robinhood, and the recent Google Play scam, it's more critical than ever that cybersecurity becomes an embedded part of cryptocurrency. Tammy Kahn, co-founder and CEO of BTblock has a team of some of the best dedicated DeFi logic security analysts. Having performed cybersecurity code reviews of the software supporting major blockchain protocols, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano, she and her team continuously observe how significant an impact security concerns have on widespread adoption. With crypto scams and fraud skyrocketing, Tammy discusses some of the core issues plaguing the industry in 2022. We talk about why until 'basic' users can feel their funds are secure, the adoption of crypto and other types of micro-investing will remain slower. Too much is at risk; people may not know the answer, but many know enough to be scared. We also explore why we need more than cyber training needs to happen and why it needs to be built from the code up. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIp2AnYb9Ik

Dataiku is a leading Enterprise AI and machine learning platform. As we become more reliant on technology, Dataiku believes humans are responsible for working through issues of governance, trust, ethics, and sustainability of systems ensure that the progression to AI is one that is controlled and calculated. Florian Douetteu, co-founder and CEO of Dataiku joins me on my tech podcast to share his bold perspective that humans are the not-so-secret essential ingredient to designing, implementing and transforming AI. Florian is an evangelist for data transparency and can provide expert analysis on the myths and realities of this AI era. I also learn more about how Dataiku recently hosted a conference in both New York and London about Human-Centric AI called EGG. In addition, it’s imperative AI innovations are based on models people can explain and understand and that won’t later cause catastrophe.EGG embraces the idea that there has been a profound shift in enterprise data practices with the growth of data science, machine learning and AI. However, many organizations overlook the importance of having a human touch to propel these technologies forward responsibly and sustainably. This year’s conference will explore the concept that machine learning and AI go beyond algorithms and datasets. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EHpnLxJWRo

In this enlightening episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Alex Babin, CEO of ZERO Systems, a company at the forefront of AI innovation, working with Fortune 500 companies and recently recognized as a "Cool Vendor" by Gartner. Starting with debunking some of the most common misconceptions about AI, Alex explains that it's not an 'out-of-the-box' solution, nor a tool that flawlessly executes tasks with just any data. The path to AI effectiveness begins with understanding one's data and the company's ROI, taking a step-by-step approach. This episode dives deep into the evolution of AI, shedding light on the new layer of metric data - user-generated data or feedback loop - which is revolutionizing the way AI tools interact and learn. Listen to Alex as he illustrates how AI can be a bridging mechanism to connect ontologies, and how this can be leveraged by Fortune 1000 companies for more efficient data utilization. A core theme of our discussion is the lack of enterprise-scale AI solutions and the current trend of piecing together fragmented applications. As we navigate these challenges, Alex introduces us to the concept of skilled AI models (SAMs), a potential roadmap to achieving comprehensive, end-to-end solutions. As AI is rapidly advancing, an 'arms race' of sorts has been initiated. Alex underscores the urgent need for AI governance and ethical considerations to ensure this powerful tool doesn't spiral out of control. Join us in this riveting conversation as we explore the landscape of AI, its potential, its challenges, and the future it's carving out for enterprises across the globe. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfRniBzi3Ps
