    How AI is forcing us to rethink IT efficiency

    In this episode we are looking at how AI is forcing us to rethink efficiency - and pushing us to do better. As the energy usage of our IT infrastructure - especially data centers - creeps ever higher, organizations are thinking more seriously about how to make the whole process more efficient, and get more out of the tech and resources we have - potentially making AI not only more sustainable, but also cheaper. And that’s where today’s guest comes in. Discussing the topic with us is Dr John Frey, Chief Technologist for Sustainable Transformation at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.

    Cybersecurity and mental health - why data matters

    In this episode we are looking at a topic which we could spend a whole lot longer than one episode on, so we’re going to make it a two-parter - cybersecurity and mental health.  We’ll be looking at two aspects in particular - why our health data is particularly vulnerable and of interest to criminals, and how our mental health state affects our ability to be able to make good cybersecurity decisions.  In this episode, we’ll be discussing the first part of the equation with Catherine Knibbs, a Psychotherapist and specialist in online harms. This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.  Do you have a question for the expert?
