Episode Introduction

Nigel Cannings, a lawyer and AI and Speech Technology expert, unravels the complexities of artificial intelligence, providing insights into ethics, regulation, and the human connection to technology in this captivating episode.

In a world bursting at the seams with technology and information, the clash between the marvel of innovation and the ethical boundaries of creativity is becoming an increasingly prominent discussion. Welcome to the Redefining Society Podcast, hosted by Marco Ciappelli, where today's conversation delves into the complexity of artificial intelligence, speech technology, and the moral dilemmas that come with our pursuit of the unknown.

As a co-founder of ITSPmagazine Podcast Network and an observer of technology's impact on society, I, Marco Ciappelli, find myself at the epicenter of this intriguing debate, steering conversations that push the boundaries and challenge the status quo. With this particular episode, we embark on a journey guided by the wisdom of Nigel Cannings, an AI expert and speech tech specialist, whose story interweaves the excitement of technological breakthroughs with the ethical questions that surround them.

Nigel's extensive knowledge in AI, particularly in speech technology, sheds light on both the potential and the pitfalls of this exciting field. His hands-on experience ranging from detecting vulnerable customers and spotting fraud to grappling with biases in AI paints a comprehensive picture that doesn't shy away from the darker corners of technology. His background in law and his transition into technology add layers to a dialogue that is as fascinating as it is pertinent.

In our conversation, Nigel and I explore the unseen worlds of voice scams, deep fakes, and the revolutionary growth of AI models. We discuss the ethics of AI, touching upon copyright issues, technology advancement, and the human element in the loop of data collection. We probe the question of fraud, the need for regulation, and the very essence of what it means to create something that appears intelligent.

As I converse with Nigel, we drift between utopian visions and dystopian scenarios, yet the focus remains on the here and now. Where have we come from, and where are we going? How did we reach this point of sudden explosion in AI, and what does it truly mean for humanity? Is this a paradigm shift or merely a fleeting innovation?

Our exchange exposes uncomfortable truths, such as the exploitation of workers in AI development and the blurred lines of legal boundaries. Yet, through the dialogue, we find shared dreams, a thirst for understanding, and a passion for unraveling the entangled web of ethics, technology, and human experience.

So join us, dear listeners, as we delve into an episode that promises to be both enlightening and provocative. If you've ever pondered the impact of AI on your life or the moral complexities that come with innovation, this episode is for you. Let us redefine society together, exploring the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and humanity.

In this episode of Energy Bytes, we discuss leveraging microbes and genetic engineering to enable industrial biotechnology solutions for carbon neutrality. Our guest Liz Dennett, CTO at Cemvita Factory, shares insights on bio-prospecting for microbes, adaptive lab evolution to domesticate microbes, and quantifying microbial DNA/proteins. We learn how Cemvita Factory is developing innovative bio-solutions across 3 business lines - Gold Hydrogen, Eco Co2, and BioMining. The discussion covers pragmatic tech stacks, data modeling, scaling bioreactors from labs to industrial facilities, and integrating sensor data and genomes in the cloud. Liz provides advice for transitioning into energy tech and emphasizes the need to just take action.

This episode covers the journey of Jeff Davies from finance to founding an energy data startup. Jeff shares how his 30-year career in spreadsheets led him to create Intersection, a platform for energy insights. Frustrated by the manual effort to create charts, Jeff partnered with developers to build an API aggregation tool in Google Sheets. This evolved into Wrapify, which automates data visualization and reporting. The product helps users create charts in Sheets and seamlessly flow them into Slides.

Topics Discussed:

-Jeff's background in banking, finance, and energy trading. Discussions on the Enron scandal and early days of credit default swaps.
-The idea behind Wrapify - automating data visualization and reporting workflows using Google -Sheets and Datawrapper. Allows users to turn spreadsheet data into interactive charts, then drag and drop charts into presentations or documents.
-Benefits of Wrapify for investment analysts, consultants, sales teams, reporting, etc. Saves huge amounts of time compared to manually updating charts.
-Using Google Apps Script to pull data from APIs directly into Sheets on a schedule. Aggregating data sources into one centralized platform.
-Overview of how Wrapify came together very quickly over the past few months. Leveraging existing tools like Datawrapper in creative ways.
-The future of AI and how it could play a role in energy data analytics. Risks and benefits of increased automation.
-Jeff's thoughts on macro trends in the energy industry - consolidation, growth projections, OPEC influence.
-Finding unique datasets to analyze, avoiding biases, and importance of top-down macro view.
-Cryptocurrency discussion - risks, benefits, and unknowns around recession impact.

This week on the Energy Bites podcast, we're talking to two forward-thinking founders who are disrupting workflows and building better software for the oil and gas industry.
