The Privacy Gap: Why Expectations Don't Meet Reality

From security breaches to companies tracking users through biometrics and behavior, the gap between privacy expectations and privacy reality are growing, with both policies and data security increasingly less concrete and reliable than we'd like. This week we dive into the risks of cybersecurity and the challenge of creating digital trust in the growing global economy. Plus our Fast Five: Google's new visual AI home device, NVIDIA and the demise of the home bitcoin miner, Kroger's autonomous home delivery trials, Cisco's reinvention prowess, and Intel's bluetooth-enabled approach to ensuring safe drone behavior. Our Tech Bites Winner of the week: Uber, and its ability to lose money in the pursuit of logistical nirvana (as it begins downplaying self-driving vehicle opportunities). Our Crystal Ball takes a look at the most disruptive tech of 2019. Will it be AR/VR? Edge? AI? Cloud? 5G? IoT? This episode features: Daniel Newman (@danielnewmanuv), Olivier Blanchard (@oablanchard), Fred McClimans (@fredmcclimans).
