This Week in Tech with Jeanne Destro

Cybersecurity professionals are always facing new threats, and even with their best efforts; sometimes the bad guys win.

But now, the "bad guys" are not just...you know...actual "guys". Now, they are also AI agents, that according to some of their creators, have at least in some sense; a mind of their own.

Sure, we can quibble about anthropomorphizing AI; but since leaders at both Anthropic and Open AI have come out in the past few weeks admitting they don't have complete control over their models; what we do know is that cyber defense just got much more complicated, and potentially; impossible, without the right tools, and right people who know how to use them against these new "super intelligent" adversaries.

So, that's where today's special guest comes in.

Barrett Busch is a cybersecurity instructor at Stark State College, in North Canton, and we asked him how, in this rapidly changing threat environment; he's working to train students who will soon be our next line of defense.

Listen now.

Pharmacies make it pretty easy these days to pick up a prescription, with convenient options like drive-through pickup windows, and mail order delivery.

But, what if you’re too sick, injured, or disabled  to stop by the drugstore, or need your prescription more quickly than you can get it by mail?

Well, now you can get it by drone, if you live within five miles of the Cleveland Clinic’s Beachwood Family Health and Surgery Center, in Northeast Ohio.
