Risk Roundup - Jayshree Pandya PhD

Welcome to Risk Roundup, an integrated Cyber-Security and Strategic-Security Risk Podcast. Each one of us across nations currently stands on the verge of the most turbulent and transformative period in all of human history. As Information Technology, Genetics, Synthetic Biology, Nanotechnology, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things and Blockchain merge and converge to make the once unachievable imagination possible, it is not only human and robot intelligence that will merge and create unthinkable possibilities, the likes of molecular manufacturing and synthetic biology will also bring earth shattering potential to build virtually any physical and/or chemical item quickly and inexpensively directly from pure information and /or organisms--creating complex security risks and challenges for each nation: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA). The computer code, connected computers, internet and rapidly emerging technological convergence that is close to reaching the commercialization stage is about to create a technological tsunami. This will not only fundamentally change human lives, but will also create new industries, destroy a few industries, impact a large number of industry sectors, evaporate a number of businesses, create significant amount of hi-tech specialized and skilled jobs, destroy a large number of unskilled jobs, collapse a few nations and change the nature of an unprecedented number of security risks.
