The intention of the podcast pilot episode was to have a conversation about the intersection of computing, society, and government. We started by dividing the following subjects into three categories, assigning them to group members, and researching the implications of Machine Learning/AI, AR/VR, Cloud Computing, and 5G/6G on each of them.
Category 1: Political/Economic (Julia)
Government
Geopolitics
Wealth Distribution
Economy
Category 2: Social (Kush)
Media and Telecommunications
Education
Demographics
Category 3: intersection of Social, Political, and Economic (Colin)
Environment
Public Health
Infrastructure
We had a robust discussion on the implications of each of these technologies on each sector mentioned above. We used AI to gather ideas on what to focus on but did our own research and came together to discuss over Microsoft Teams.
