It's been more than a decade since an international team of scientists sequenced the human genome. But the genomics revolution is only just beginning, Color Genomics CEO Othman Laraki says. "Each one of us, we have a torrent of data in our bodies," Laraki said on the latest episode of Recode Decode, hosted by Kara Swisher.

When Vic Gundotra left Google in 2014, he thought he might retire, forever. But a lingering interest in wearable technology and machine learning led him to AliveCor, which lets users monitor their heart health from their smartphones. Diving back into the fray of tech, Gundotra is now convinced that the potential of wearables and machine learning is just starting to be unlocked. AliveCor's portable EKG sensor, Kardia, alerts users if their heartbeats are irregular -- and now, the Mayo Clinic, an AliveCor investor, has begun identifying other signals in an EKG reading that a human might miss. "No human doctor can look at your EKG and tell you with a high degree of accuracy what your potassium level is," Gundotra said.

Welcome to Risk Roundup, an integrated Cyber-Security and Strategic-Security Risk Podcast hosted by Risk Group Founder Jayshree Pandya PhD. With each episode, we'll sit down with the decision makers from across nations: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA). It's a peek behind the scenes of existing and emerging risks from cyberspace, geospace and space (CGS) --a first-hand conversation with the people who are shaping the digital global age. 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, Nanotechnology, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing 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 will also bring earth shattering potential to build virtually any physical item quickly and inexpensively directly from pure information--creating complex security risks and challenges for each nation: its government, industries, organizations and academia (NGIOA).

AI has been described as "Thor's Hammer" and "the new electricity." But it's also a bit of a mystery – even to those who know it best.

This podcast is produced by NVIDIA, the AI computing company. Multiple episodes are released every month.

In 2005, Atlanta-based voiceover artist Susan Bennett recorded hundreds of hours of audio for a text-to-speech company. Six years later, on 4 October 2011, she quickly learned that those recordings had been licensed by Apple for the iPhone 4S's built-in personal assistant, Siri. Overnight, Susan's voice became globally recognised, whether she liked it or not. In this week's episode of Chips with Everything, Matt Shore speaks to Susan about her experiences of being thrust into the world of Siri and how her life has changed since that fateful day.
