    Artificial Intelligence or Artificial Creativity: Which Strikes the Right Chord?

    Creativity is often believed to be a uniquely human trait, but what happens when artificial intelligence starts to blur the line between human imagination and machine innovation? For this month’s episode, we are joined by four extraordinary guests who are shaping the intersection of art, design, and technology. Together, we dive into how AI reshapes creative fields, from personalized design to algorithmic music. Can machines truly cocreate, or are they just mirroring us? And what does this mean for the future of artistic expression? Join us as we explore these thought-provoking questions on the Harvard Data Science Review Podcast. Our guests: CJ and Zack formed the music hacker duo DADABOTS when attending Berklee College of Music. From playing in metal, punk, and noise bands and studying composition and programming, they realized machine learning was an even more extreme way to make sound and dove completely into eliminating themselves from music. They cofounded Harmonai, the music research team within Stability AI focused on creating open-source generative AI audio tools, and created Stable Audio, which was listed in TIME Magazine's best inventions of 2023 Nini Hu, designer and art director with over 20 years of experience working with global fashion lifestyle brands and author of AI and Creativity for HDSR. Nini is also the founder of &HER, building customizable bras using AI, eco-friendly fibers, and automated production technology. &HER uses machine learning models to bring body shape and measurements directly to production. Portrait XO, independent researcher and award-winning multimodal artist who researches computational creativity, human-machine collaboration, and explores new formats and applications through innovative audio and visual projects.

    Data Are Born to Reveal: So What Can They Tell Us About Pregnancy?

    In today's digital age, where information is more accessible than ever through online platforms, many people turn to search engines like Google for answers to their medical questions and concerns. The rapidly evolving landscape of women's health—shaped by advancements in medicine, artificial intelligence, and political shifts such as the overturning of Roe v. Wade—has given rise to a flood of misinformation, disinformation, and conflicting advice. In this month’s episode, we are joined by a reproductive health specialist who helps us navigate the facts about fertility and pregnancy. Our guest: Dr. Lora Shahine, MD, double board-certified OB-GYN and reproductive endocrinologist at Pacific Northwest Fertility, clinical associate professor at the University of Washington, and host of the fertility podcast Baby Or Bust.

    I Can’t Believe I Got Hacked! What Can We Do About Cybersecurity?

    In July 2024, we witnessed one of the most significant internet disruptions in history when CrowdStrike released a faulty update to its security servers. This update impacted approximately 8.5 million systems, triggering outages across various sectors, including airlines, banks, stock markets, and even government emergency services. Even once activity was restored, threat actors sought to take advantage of the situation through phishing schemes and other cyberattacks.  Though caused by an internal error rather than malicious intent, incidents like CrowdStrike’s outage underscore the growing importance of reliable security measures on technologies that impact daily life. On this month’s podcast, we explore the ins and outs of cybersecurity, how cyberattacks occur, and what steps you can take to protect your data. Our guests: Milena Rodban, independent geopolitical risk consultant and former senior advisor at the National Risk Management Center at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Arun Seelagan, Senior Data Scientist at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)
