Welcome to the 207th<\/sup> edition of the Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable<\/em> podcast<\/a>! This week, Dave, Ahmed, and I chat about a number of topics \u2014 and we also have some changes to our big board of quiz points.<\/p>\n

We kick things off with a pair of stories about AI and surveillance. The first is from the UK, where AI can now tell authorities if people were adhering to social distancing guidelines. The next is about a Chinese company using smile recognition for employees entering the office. Smile for the camera.<\/p>\n

After a short break for a tip from Ahmed, we\u2019re on to the first round of the week\u2019s quiz game. I won\u2019t spoil it here, but let\u2019s just say there is a bit of a shocker. Following the fun, we get back to business, discussing recent APT activity from the Persian-speaking Ferocious Kitten group with researchers Mark Lechtik and Aseel Kayal.<\/p>\n

After the interview, we look at the insecurity of America\u2019s water facilities before wrapping up with a discussion of consent and the COVID-19 app in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n
