Can Your Data Be Used for Good?

In this session, learn ways that tech like AI and IoT – and the data they render – are measurably making the world better and how you can make changes in your own organization to use data for good. In one case study example shared, an AI disturbance model detects acoustic anomalies in the rainforest to provide advance warning of illegal logging there; in another, the world’s largest commercial electric vehicle trial yielded invaluable data for driving EV use worldwide. Beyond the rainforest and EV case studies, the speaker will address the broader implications and offers lessons for all companies looking to effect positive societal and environmental change with IoT and digital transformation.

How and Why to Create Multimedia Interactive eBooks to Teach Technology

Technology has been revolutionizing the learning experience. An interactive eBook gives your audience a more engaging experience, is easy to upgrade, leads to better content retention, is easily accessible to all and makes learning fun! Interactive eBooks have become a great way to create and share important content, but not in technology or cybersecurity, until now. During the past 3 years, I have created interactive eBooks to teach basic cybersecurity principles. Cybersecurity for the Digitally Challenged is an interactive electronic handbook designed to introduce the basic concepts of cybersecurity to anyone who uses the internet. The book has been downloaded >10,300 times.
