Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace—what does that mean for the future of technology, venture capital, business, and even our understanding of ourselves? Award-winning journalist and writer Anil Ananthaswamy joins us for our latest episode to discuss his latest book Why Machines Learn: The Elegant Math Behind Modern AI . Anil helps us explore the journey and many breakthroughs that have propelled machine learning from simple perceptrons to the sophisticated algorithms shaping today’s AI revolution, powering GPT and other models. The discussion aims to demystify some of the underlying mathematical concepts that power modern machine learning, to help everyone grasp this technology impacting our lives–even if your last math class was in high school. Anil walks us through the power of scaling laws, the shift from training to inference optimization, and the debate among AI’s pioneers about the road to AGI—should we be concerned, or are we still missing key pieces of the puzzle? The conversation also delves into AI’s philosophical implications—could understanding how machines learn help us better understand ourselves? And what challenges remain before AI systems can truly operate with agency? If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.

It’s More Than Just Mail - How Corporations Can Avoid Risk Before it Materializes 33:48

for 3 years siden33:48

33:48

When a CEO receives a threatening letter it’s rarely just a one-off incident. However, it’s surprising to realize how frequently these notes are tossed in the trash and treated without concern. Will Plummer, Chief Security Officer of RaySecur, knows first-hand how mail is a bellwether to many other security events, and when ignored, can cause very avoidable turmoil for corporate security teams and the people they protect. Will speaks with host Chuck Randolph on the importance of screening procedures in mail rooms and how easily address information can be obtained online and needs to be monitored with the same vigilance — especially in the wake of controversial decisions or lay-offs. For more information, check out Will’s 2021 Annual Mail Security Report containing valuable insights for mail and physical security teams. https://raysecur.com/mail-security-report-2021/ Will is a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Army, where he earned a Bronze Star with Valor as a Master Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician. He commanded multiple Special Operations support units and served as a certified EOD Team Leader and a Master Instructor. Over his military career, he managed thousands of full-spectrum EOD operations and directed VIP security support for the last eight U.S. presidents. As RaySecur's Chief Security Officer, he consults with customers to evaluate and strengthen their mail security strategies. He also leads the RaySecur Professional Services team providing customers with risk assessments, the formation of best practice security procedures, training, and 24/365 threat identification and mitigation support.…

In this interview series, we spotlight leaders recognized in the Protective Intelligence Honors who have had a lasting impact on the security world as we know it. It is our hope that their insights on leadership and the timeless practice of security and protection will inspire you in your own efforts. We all know that actions speak louder than words, but in some industries acting on change is harder than expected. Security is one of those industries; however, John McClurg, BlackBerry’s current Senior Vice President & Chief Information Security Officer, didn’t let that stand in his way. Throughout his career, he has pushed the boundaries of what has always been done to establish programs that complement the interdependency between the cyber and physical security arenas, and was one of the first in the field to recognize the need for the two to converge. Listen to his conversation with Fred as they discuss his career beginning as a Special Agent with the PBI on one of the nation’s first Joint Terrorism Task Forces, to leading several Fortune 500 companies in their efforts to link what happens online with what occurs in front of our eyes every day.…

When Dogs are More Than Pets — Tactical K9 Service Dog Training from Devine K9s Founder 24:46

for 3 years siden24:46

24:46

Dogs have been the greatest security asset since the need for protection was deemed necessary. Having the ability to detect the slightest sounds to something as monumental as identifying an IED beneath the surface, the bark from a dog is one of the most powerful signals for trouble ahead. John Devine is the Founder, Lead Trainer and CEO of Devine K9s, an organization committed to training K9s in a variety of functions — from general obedience to tactical service dog training. In his discussion with Fred, he shares how he first learned of SEAL TEAM service dogs during his time in service, the top three K9 breeds for security, and how he selects and trains dogs before they’re paired with their owner. Just when you thought John couldn’t get more impressive, he rounds out the podcast by sharing information on his charity, Rescue 22 Foundation, which provides fully task-trained service dogs to veterans. John Devine cut his dog training teeth training and deploying with K9s in the SEAL TEAMS. After 10 years as a Navy SEAL, he started his business as a renowned trainer in behavior modification, obedience, scent detection, tactical K9 consulting and service dog training.…

Here at the Ontic Center for Protective Intelligence, we’re continually creating and sharing relevant content for the physical security community. Over the course of the past year, our podcast series has highlighted stories of threat actors, unfortunate events, and shifts in industry practice, and we’ve had some fascinating conversations with authors, security experts, and corporate security leaders along the way. There are many influential leaders who have inspired and enabled those in the protection community to successfully shift to a more proactive, always-on approach to physical security. That’s why we launched Protective Intelligence Honors, a program we developed at the Center to celebrate the top leaders in our industry. Each month we will be recognizing new leaders, and we will be spotlighting many of them on the podcast. Check out ProtectiveIntelligenceHonors.com to learn more.…
