31. What That Means with Camille: Fearless Computing

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode of</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">What That Means</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Camille has Abhilasha Bhargav-Spantzel, principal engineer at Intel, on the show to discuss Fearless Computing. In addition to her work at Intel, Abhilasha is also working with the kids who will be tomorrow’s engineers, and the conversation touches on:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  What fearless computing is</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Why kids are naturally better at fearless computing</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Fearless computing in the time of COVID</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Biometrics and privacy</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Identity, cryptography, and security</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Multi-factor authentication</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Virtualization</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Hypervisors</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">... and more!  Don’t miss it!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Here are some key take-aways:</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Computers are no longer just tools for tasks – they’re an integral part of our lives. But there’s a lot of fear around being hacked or downloading the wrong thing. Fearless computing is about eradicating that fear. About making it possible to innovate, experiment, and try new things, without that constant fear. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Kids are great with fearless computing because they question everything. Adults are often more trusting, but kids often start with a sense of distrust. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Biometrics rely on more than just an image to determine legitimacy and authentication. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">•  Multi-factor authentication relies on multiple different things (i.e. voice, how you speak, how you type, etc.)
