Technology rules the way we communicate, connect, consume and collaborate. For both companies and governments, this provides incredible economic and infrastructure opportunities, but also exposes massive risks to security and privacy. Brown Advisory’s Lauren Cahalan sits down with one of the nation's leading thinkers on these issues to discuss the challenges posed by technology’s penetration of all aspects of our lives, the responsibility of organizations to identify misinformation and protect our privacy, and how these issues have been heightened by the pandemic.Host:Lauren CahalanEquity Research Analyst, Brown AdvisoryBackground Reading: Who Moderates the Social Media Giants?
