For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Recently, we all saw in the news that the stock price of Artificial Intelligence chipmaker giant NVIDA fell when the Chinese start-up DeepSeek, a new AI tool they claim can be made cheaper than its American competitor, was released. What does this really mean for the American consumers, healthcare systems and manufacturers using AI technology? The news mentioned briefly the security concerns of such a product from a foreign player in the market, but short soundbites don’t tell the whole story. In this week’s podcast, host Dorothy Cociu and her guests, Ted Flittner, Principal of Aditi Group and Eric Barricklow, Owner of Stellar Cyber Solutions, take a deep dive into what we know and what we don’t know, and provide pro tips and expert recommendations on how to protect ourselves and our organizations.
