Deep Tech with Avrohom Gottheil

We are living in an era of information overload, where there is an overabundance of information, yet at the same time, it’s hard to ascertain what’s credible and what’s not. Technology changes rapidly, and innovation is on the rise. How can we educate ourselves to know:
(1) What products are available on the market?
(2) What solutions to search for?
(3) Which technology trends will be long-lasting, and which ones will become fads?

INTERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS:

This episode of #AskTheCEO features a presentation Avrohom Gottheil gave in New Delhi, India for India’s First Annual Deep Tech Summit, titled Deep Tech for All.

[08:05] Paul Colmer, a digital coach and global influencer in Cybersecurity, Cloud, and Digital Disruption, shares his perspective on how everyone’s going to get disrupted, and predicts that this will even affect Governments!

[11:11] We discussed the reason behind the latest trend of speech enabling smart devices. “Time is the new currency, and that is what’s driving the mass adoption of voice-based technology in the marketplace”, said Avrohom

[13:30] J. Dianne Dotson, Science Fiction Writer and Research Scientist, shares how in the future we will be able to leverage AI to search global DNA databases, such as 23 and me, and analyze people’s genomes for disease-causing proteins so that we can disable them and stop diseases from spreading, right from the source.

[15:47] Jola Burnett, VP of GfK Consumer Life in NYC, studies the consumer behavior that drives industry trends. Jola answers the question about whether people will accept companies leveraging AI for their customer interactions. Jola spoke about a scenario where you call into a contact center and ask to speak with a representative but got routed to an AI instead. “Does the customer have an out?”, she asks. It all boils down to the customer experience on whether or not people will accept interactions with AI.

[18:00] Inma Rodriguez, VP of 5G Core, Cloud & OSS, for Ericsson’s Europe and Latin America Market Area, shares her perspective on the considerations business executives need to think about before making an investment in 5G technology

[20:29] Avrohom discusses the Cybersecurity implications of adding massive amounts of IoT devices on our networks. We’re adding 20.4 billion devices by 2020, yet the number of records exposed during data breaches are shooting up exponentially. From January – November 2019 there have already been 4 billion records exposed!

[22:40] To combat the increasing volume of Cybersecurity threats we need to follow the three S’s: Share Information, Secure our networks, and Serve our communities.

[23:40] Kai Hermsen, Global Coordinator for Siemens’ Charter of Trust, introduces this global initiative of 17 companies that are working together to bring trust to a Digital World.

[27:34] Mirko Ross, CEO asvin.io in Stuttgart, Germany shares some of the challenges associated with patching IoT devices.

[32:02] We must serve our community by inspiring and mentoring our children, especially our girls, so that they feel comfortable choosing careers in Cybersecurity.
