    Digital Inclusion in Higher Education | Tech Unscripted

    In this episode of Tech Unscripted host George Lewis talks with Terry Bankston (Delaware State University), Dr. Vicki Robinson (retired U.S. Department of Education), and T.J. Mercer (founder of Move In Day Mafia) about closing the digital divide at HBCUs and in surrounding communities. They explore pressing challenges—aging infrastructure, unreliable connectivity, disconnected cell plans, and lack of devices—and highlight solutions driven by partnerships: campus laptops and hotspots, living‑learning spaces, hands‑on volunteer support, and wraparound services that build stability. The discussion emphasizes measurable impacts like higher retention and graduation rates, increased student confidence and belonging, and how coordinated university‑community‑industry collaborations can scale digital inclusion and career readiness.

    Ep.6 How Real-World Messiness Impacts AI Agent Success

    In this episode of the Cisco AI Insights Podcast, hosts Rafael Herrera and Sónia Marques are joined by Cisco ML Engineer Paul Mutawe to explore the fascinating paper, "Measuring AI Ability to Complete Long Software Tasks," which introduces a novel time horizon metric to evaluate how autonomously AI agents can execute complex, multi-hour engineering projects. The discussion looks at the rapid evolution of these agents, highlighting the key finding that the fifty percent success time horizon is doubling every two hundred and seven days, while detailing how unbiased benchmarking environments like the Modular Public harness are used to evaluate frontier models alongside real-world complexities like the sixteen-item messiness factor, which significantly reduces agent success rates, and the critical need for human-in-the-loop oversight to combat context rot. A special thank you to the research team at Model Evaluation and Threat Research, who developed this paper.

    404 Script Not Found Cisco Live 2026

    Strap in, folks—we’re recapping all the chaos, genius, and buffet lines from Cisco Live (just a few weeks late)! Kat and Ian are cutting through the noise to tell you what actually mattered (and what should have stayed in Vegas). We’re breaking down the big keynote moments, including why Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol—a guy who knows more about burritos and macchiatos than binary—is driving real-world AI wins. We’re moving past generic AI emails and into the 'Agentic Era' of smarter supply chains and happier customers. Plus, we’re keeping it real about the risks: Ian explains why security is the "it" girl of tech right now, and Kat forces him to explain "Cloud Control" so we can finally understand how to wrangle our messy, cloud-first infrastructure. Whether you’re a seasoned tech wizard or just trying to survive the latest industry pivot, we’ve got plenty of laughs, unfiltered Vegas takes, and maybe a golf analogy. Tune in and get up to speed!

    404 Script Not Found The Evolution of WiFi

    This week starts with Ian having the kind of week that feels almost made up: his AC is out, the gym AC is out, the other gym AC is out, and somehow he is just supposed to act like everything is fine! While Kat is completely unbothered by the heat, Ian is very much not, which makes the transition into Wi-Fi 7 feel a little too on the nose. Once they get there, they talk through what Wi-Fi 7 actually means, why these upgrades keep happening, and how our internet has to keep up with the way we live now—more devices, more streaming, more AI, and more demand on the network all at once. Along the way, they end up reminiscing about dial-up internet, computer rooms, LimeWire, and the weird reality that we’re building faster and faster tech while also trying to find ways to use less of it. Ian breaks down Wi-Fi 7 in the simplest terms possible, Kat asks the questions everyone else is probably also wondering, and somewhere in the middle of it all, the whole thing turns into a very relatable conversation about how much modern life depends on being connected.
