The conferences where cyber security experts and 'underground researchers' meet
In the world of cyber security, there are occasional events which bring together people from all sides of the spectrum. One of those events is the Black Hat Briefings. In their own words, “a series of highly technical information security conferences that bring together thought leaders from all facets of the infosec world – from the corporate and government sectors to academic and even underground researchers.” Back in August Las Vegas hosted the 26th American Black Hat Conference, and today’s guest was there. Jaye Tillson is a field Chief Technology Officer at Axis Security, who have recently been acquired as part of HPE Aruba Networking. We’ll be finding out what goes on at these events, the hot topics under discussion, and whether they are as clandestine as they sound… Or not.

Air Traffic Control: Why just tiny errors can ground planes
In light of the recent issues with Air Traffic Control computers in the UK and US, grounding thousands of flights due to poor quality data and broken tables, this week we’re taking a look at how ATC systems are being updated to keep the skies fit for the 21st Century, how that means small errors can have catastrophic consequences, and what we can all learn from it.

AI and conservation: Striking the right balance
Alongside tackling global warming, conservation and protecting the diversity of our natural world is a global priority. AI plays a huge role, from analysing satellite imagery of reforestation efforts to identifying wildlife from acoustic scanners or trip cameras. However, there’s an issue in these biomes where many people live - these efforts are taking place without their permission. Privacy, data protection and individual rights can potentially be sidelined in the quest for a tech-driven solution to a global problem. Joining us today is Joycelyn Longdon. She’s a PhD Student in the Department of Computer Science at Cambridge University. Her research is around looking at the technical, AI-based solutions to environmental protection, and respect local populations, whilst trying to protect our natural habitats. She also runs Climate in Colour, an organisation dedicated to making conversations around climate more diverse and accessible. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organisations and what we can learn from it.

Connecting the impossible: Intelligent courses at the Ryder Cup
Golf is undeniably one of the most challenging sports in the world from a logistical and operational standpoint. Especially when it comes to connecting the hundreds or thousands of smart devices dotted around them during major tournaments. Courses are huge areas, several kilometers square. They have dozens of acres of maintained grass, geographical challenges, roads, trees, and often other services on or near them that need to be skirted around or crossed. They are open to the elements. In short, providing connectivity is a huge challenge. That's the challenge for our guest this week, Chief Technology Officer for the European Tour Group and Ryder Cup Europe, Michael Cole. We'll be talking about creating 21st-century connected ecosystems in the most extreme environments, as well as the future of golf as a 'smart' sport. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organisations and what we can learn from it.

What organizations can learn from Formula E: Part 2
Formula E is one of the most exciting motor racing championships in the world. The all-electric series takes place across 16 races and features 11 teams racing at up to 200mph on urban, city-centre circuits. The series is designed to showcase the evolving tech of electric vehicles right where the spectators are, creating the poster-child series for sustainability in motorsport. In this episode, we travelled to the London E-Prix where we caught up with Harry Richards, Commercial Director at MSG Maserati, to talk about how the team and the wider sport approach sustainability and how new technology helps to drive the sport forward.

Formula E is one of the most exciting motor racing championships in the world. The all-electric series takes place across 16 races and features 11 teams racing at up to 200mph on urban, city-centre circuits. The catch? It’s a ‘spec’ series, which means the teams all race essentially identical cars. In this episode, we travelled to the London E-Prix where we caught up with Maserati MSG driver Edo Mortara and team principal James Rossiter to talk about competitive advantage, and how to win against a level playing field.

Energy: Tech to make more and use less
Right now, we need a lot more energy. In 2023, on average we use 60 kilowatt hours of electrical energy, each, per day. That's enough to boil approximately 600 litres of water. Which is a lot, especially when you consider that several billion of us are using a lot less than that. Demand is growing, too, by 3-5% globally every year. The IT industry is a major contributor to this, using around 6% of the world's electricity. So how can we make more, and use less? That’s the topic of a two-part special of our sister podcast, Technology Untangled. This week, we’re taking a look at some of the key findings from these special investigations in something of a highlights reel.

The Metaverse: Are we ready for world 2.0?
The metaverse is a misunderstood phenomenon. Since becoming championed by Mark Zuckerberg in 2021, it’s become synonymous with Augmented and Virtual reality – a mythical second world where we’ll all have jobs, homes, and property in addition to our daily, ‘real’ lives. That dream of the metaverse hasn’t quite taken off, but that doesn’t mean the concept is dead. In fact, the idea of a digital world augmenting our own is growing fast, and attracting a huge amount of interest and resources. It’s also proving invaluable in large-scale prototyping and design. One of the companies looking seriously into the growth of the metaverse is Nokia, and their Head of Trend and Innovation Scouting, Leslie Shannon, is today’s guest.

Should we stop overlooking AR and VR?
AR and VR are sometimes seen as forgotten technologies when it comes to enterprise IT. They've made waves in the gaming world, but even so, are still considered niche technologies. However, with the recent announcement by Apple of their own headset, and increasing investment by Meta, is it time we took AR and VR more seriously? Are we missing out by not incorporating them into our IT structure? In this episode, we're joined by Lauren Dyer, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Dimensions Studios.

Is your AI sustainable?
AI is huge business. But it’s also having a huge effect on our carbon emissions: The storage, cooling, and processing power required to train a large language model AI can produce as much CO2 as driving over a million miles in a family car. In this episode, we’re talking to HPE Chief Technologist Matt Armstrong-Barnes about the concept of sustainable AI, and how making strategic decisions early in the design process – as well as proper data management – can help save organisations a fortune, as well as to potentially reduce CO2 emissions.

AI may soon use our voice to diagnose illness
We humans are social animals, and we communicate a lot with our voices - much more than just in the words we speak. So if our voices can communicate emotion, can they also communicate health markers? Well, apparently so. Increasingly, AI research is looking at using AI voice analysis to diagnose everything from common colds to cancer, as well as mental health markers. It could be a huge opportunity in the healthcare space, but also in professional settings as a tool in the belt of HR and talent managers. This week, we're joined by Yaël Bensoussan, MD, Head of the Department of Otolaryngology at the Morsani College of Medicine, to find out more.
