Ken Pfeuffer discusses the evolution of user interfaces, from traditional hand-centric inputs to the emerging paradigm of eye-hand symbiosis. He traces the history of gaze interaction research, explains his decade-long work on "gaze and pinch," and shares how these concepts are now becoming reality with devices like Apple Vision Pro, outlining future directions for intuitive spatial computing.
This podcast episode explores the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, discussing whether AI-native operating systems can curb social engineering, the impact of AI agents on identity and security, and the ongoing threat of cybercrime exploiting major events. It also highlights IBM's new partnership with OpenAI to enhance application security using advanced AI models.
Ronuk Malde, CEO of Trajectory.ai, discusses his journey from building AI coding agents at Windsurf to his current focus on continual learning for enterprise AI. He shares insights on leveraging real-world user data, the unique challenges of model acquisition, and how Trajectory.ai's platform, powered by innovations like scaled SDPO and a novel training stack, enables dynamic, always-learning AI models for diverse industries from legal to finance.
Jeff Crume outlines essential data resiliency strategies, starting with the 3-2-1 backup rule—three copies, two media types, one offsite—and expanding to include immutable or air-gapped backups, rigorous testing, and encryption. He emphasizes these principles for robust disaster recovery, ransomware protection, and minimizing costly downtime, highlighting the trade-offs in achieving high availability.
