If you caught part one of our recap series on this year’s Collision conference, you know we covered a roundtable talk hosted by Veracode’s own Chris Wysopal. The talk focused on the risks of AI and machine learning, delving into discussions of how to manage the security aspects of these future-ready technologies — especially when it comes down to consumer privacy.

I’ve heard mention of self-healing factories and smart highway systems. While such things might be possible, there’s nothing magical about 5G. In essence, it’s just faster wireless networking than we’ve had before. That’s nice, but hardly revolutionary.
