Is AI smarter than a five-year-old?

In this episode of Connect, we sit down with Dr. Cyrus Shaoul, co-founder and Chief Evangelist at Leela AI, to unpack what artificial intelligence and visual analytics can and cannot accomplish.

Cyrus breaks down how these tools are being used to make environments safer, operations more efficient, and decisions more informed. Along the way, we tackle some of the most common misconceptions about AI and how these innovations are helping to drive businesses forward. Plus, we’ll explore how companies can be responsible stewards of data, without giving up the chance to innovate.

Drawing on his background at MIT and years of industry experience, Cyrus offers a grounded perspective on where the AI field is headed next. Whether you’re AI-curious, skeptical, or already working with data and analytics, this conversation will leave you with a clearer understanding of what doors AI could open in the future.

Is AI out to get us? What can we do to keep ourselves safe in an increasingly digital world?

In this episode of Connect, we are joined by Mark Lynd, globally recognized cybersecurity leader, cloud strategist, and acclaimed author. Together, we explore how to stay safe in the face of ever-growing threats. We’ll learn about best practices, the risks of getting too confident, and tips to become more cyber-aware.

Plus, we’ll hear about Mark’s inspiration as an author and what goes into writing his books, from Giving your Teen the Cyber Skills to Succeed to his latest novel, Cyber War: One Scenario, in which a fictionalized cyber war feels far too real.

Join us as we discuss how AI continues to revolutionize cybersecurity and incident response, how businesses – and individuals – can stay safe, and of course what the future looks like.

In this episode of Connect, we welcome Jacob Simon, a former professional figure skater turned climate educator and content creator to discuss how technology can advance environmental efforts and the power of social media in building community.

Together, we explore how technology and AI can be forces for good, from sifting through large amounts of data to making science more accessible (and fun), while staying mindful of the challenges that AI and technology can present. We also hear some uplifting – and odd – stories about how people are using technology and changing the way they interact with the environment.

Jacob also shares how his passion for the environment has driven him to elevate positive news stories and build community via social media. Whether it’s creating a forum for people to break world records together or learn about the latest good news, he embraces the opportunity to elevate community voices, magnify important stories and drive real action – all with the aim of building a smarter, more sustainable future.
