Host Jason Michael Perry brings a special live episode from the World Trade Center Institute Agile Global Innovation Series , hosted in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School . Joined by panelists Tina Williams-Koroma , Yolanda Reid , and Joel M. Benge , with an introduction from Eddie Resende , Jason explores how cybersecurity is evolving in a world where AI can fake voices, faces, writing styles — even entire digital identities.

The conversation moves beyond traditional hacking and into something more foundational: what happens when reality itself becomes manipulatable? From deepfake fraud to AI agents running autonomous businesses, this episode unpacks how trust is becoming the most important — and most fragile — infrastructure we have.

Show: Thoughts on Tech & Things
Host: Jason Michael Perry
Guest: Rebecca Rosenberg, Founder & CEO of Rebokeh

Host Jason Michael Perry sits down with Rebecca Rosenberg, Founder & CEO of Rebokeh, to explore how technology is reshaping what it means to see — and what accessibility can teach us about innovation. From everyday tools like glasses to emerging vision and mobility technologies, they unpack how design that meets people where they are can expand independence, dignity, and opportunity.

Jason and Rebecca dig into the business and human sides of accessibility: why companies overlook a trillion-dollar market, how designing for difference can spark better products, and where frontiers like AI vision and neural implants might take us next. They also ask the big question — when technology doesn’t just restore ability but changes perception, what does that mean for being human?
