Back to the Future Is Wow

Will a Robot Steal YOUR Job?

Automation expert James Kotecki visits NYC and Eric sat down with him for a special expert guest episode of Future is Wow. He says automation won't take your job, but also admits that it's HIS job to say that. Still, seems like pretty good stuff! I'll be fine unless robots learn how to make podcasts. Jokes on you, podbots, this isn't even my job!

Facial Recognition Tech - Becoming Forever-Known

Eric & Brendan talk about "facial recognition tech" and people's backlash against it, including a recent instance of JetBlue surprising a passenger with it. Are fears overblown? Who should have this tech? Governments? Companies? No one? Does opting in make a difference? Plus a game of "Vocal Recognition" that deeply offended Eric.   See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Back to the Future Is Wow

So Eric & Brendan have ended their hiatus and are back. This stuff is exciting to us, but apologies for the synching issues on this shorty, hopefully they're not too distracting. But we're back, we're talking about the issues of the day & the future and we're gonna get goofy.   See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for privacy and opt-out information.

Self-Driving Cars with Erin Barker & Justin D'Ambrosio

We're talking about the technology-to-change-culture of all technologies-to-change-culture: self-driving cars. These things are gonna change everything. Erin & Justin bring their expertise and comedy to the table and we get into things. Eric thinks robots should basically just run our lives and everyone else falls somewhere below that. They should just run things though, who's gonna stop them?   See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.
