Think Queen with Kyne

Have we all become chronically online, or is it just Kyne? This week, Kyne is joined by Dr. Gabriella Coleman, an expert on hacking, and in particular ethical hackers and “hacktivists” such as Anonymous. Kyne asks whether the internet has taken over our lives yet and whether or not we should be more cautious over cyberattacks. The two discuss whether hackers are worse than the government, and what the future holds in store for us with AI, deepfakes, and algorithms taking over.
