Hackers: Still the Internet's Immune System?

Presented at THOTCON 0x9 (2018), May 5, 2018, 11 a.m. (50 minutes).

4 years after my 2014 TED talk, I will take a fresh look at what has changed, and the many ways hackers (both friendly and malicious) are shaping the world we live in. we all know that cyber security is impacting our way of life - from autonomous cars, to webcams medical devices, to the manipulation of political campaigns and global markets. But who's thinking about what's next? This talk will aim to inspire the audience to take action about the things that require our attention the most. Our future may be defined not just by our efforts to balance technology’s benefits against the risks it brings with it - but also by how we evolve our paradigms and mindset about security, privacy and digital access to information.
