In a thought-provoking discussion, I sat with a brilliant young tech entrepreneur, Isvari Maranwe, who is also a former particle physics and supernova cosmology researcher at CERN, Fermilab, and the Lawrence Berkeley Lab. She started writing machine learning algorithms at the age of 11!
As an award-winning cyber and national security attorney who has represented the U.S. Department of Defence, the Department of State, the Federal Communications Commission, and Fortune 500s, I was particularly interested in her views on the current trajectory of America’s political and technological affairs.
We delve into our current societal issues, highlighting the often-overlooked challenges faced by young people. She emphasises the disconnect between traditional education paths and the real-world skills needed to make a meaningful impact.
Isvari’s journey from particle physics to law at such a young age is a great example of the importance of adaptability, questioning the status quo and the courage to pursue one’s true calling, even when it defies conventional expectations.
We discuss in detail how technology is playing a negative role in shaping our lives today. She warns against the unchecked power of tech giants and the potential dangers of AI, calling for regulations that prioritise ethical development.
Her insights into the intersection of technology, privacy, and societal impact are a call to action for both policymakers and the public to engage in informed discussions about our digital future.
Join the conversation now to hear Isvari’s perspective as a Gen-Zer that should make us, the oldies, rethink our assumptions and strive for a more equitable and just society for future generations, where technology serves as a tool for empowerment rather than control.
