#ArtAboutAI is an avant-garde attempt to make artificial intelligence more accessible for an informed civic debate. Dr. Kostopoulos’s background in national security and education lends a fresh perspective to her art work with references to controversial ethical debates about artificial intelligence. One of her key motivators is to raise awareness about artificial intelligence and provoke an intentional and thoughtful discussion about what it is, and what it means for society and humanity as a whole. Her art is informed by the latest technological developments in artificial intelligence as well as her involvement in national security and policy related work.

Versatility at the Tip of the Spear: Food Security and the Utility of SOF
The full use and utility of special operations forces has been underappreciated in the context of food security. This report showcases the utility of special operations "beyond direct action".
It is food (in)security that lies at the heart of every conflict today and yet invisible to most in its most fundamental context as a matter, and driver, of global security and defense. Special Operations Forces (SOF) offer unique capabilities that can respond best to USAID Administrator Samantha Powers’ concluding statement in the 2022-2026 U.S. Global Food Security Strategy that, “Conflict remains the single largest driver of food crises worldwide, so the Strategy also leverages investments in conflict mitigation, peacebuilding, and social cohesion.”

The Longevity Dividend: What advancements in longevity science mean for indiv...Dr. Lydia Kostopoulos
The information theory of biology has accelerated scientific knowledge of the inner workings of our bodies – understanding them from an almost machine and code perspective. Advancements in gene therapy, cellular rejuvenation and the longevity science field is growing exponentially and many experts in the field are claiming we now live between mortals and immortals. Renown technologist Ray Kurzweil predicts that we will reach longevity escape velocity by 2029. This would mark a moment when technological improvements add years to life faster than time passes. This presentation explores what these advancements mean for individuals, society, the economy and the military.

Micro Journaling - Intermediate Cycle Tracker
The intermediate cycle tracker allows for a more directed micro-journaling of your menstrual experience. Dividing up the journaling sections into: sleep, mood, body and food. Here are some examples of things you can journal across your cycle:
Sleep: Take note of how your sleep was. For example did you feel cold? Warm? Restless? Have a hard time going to sleep? Did you sleep quickly? If you have a sleep tracker you could take note of your body's temperature, or average heart rate and observe it throughout the phases of the menstrual cycle.
Mood: How was your mood? Did you feel energetic? Motivated? Happy? Sexy? Or perhaps frustrated? Impatient? Sad? Did you have positive thoughts? Negative thoughts? Did you feel social? Or that you wanted to spend time alone?
Body: How does your body feel? Do you feel like you want to exercise? Go for a walk? Have extra energy? Do you feel tired? Do experience any tenderness in your body (muscles, breasts etc)? Do you experience any noise sensitivity? Do you feel horny? How is the texture of your hair and face? Oily? Dry?
Food: Do you feel more hungry than usual? Less hungry than usual? Do you have any cravings? If so, what do you crave? What foods are you gravitating towards? What foods make you feel good? It would be good to observe the alcohol and sugar consumption across your cycle to see how it feels during different times of the cycle.

Decoupling Human Characteristics from Algorithmic Capabilities
The prevalence of attributing human traits to Artificial Intelligence-Systems in efforts to describe its capabilities and use-cases does not adequately represent the technology in a sufficient way to allow for decision makers to fully engage with the ethical questions they are accountable for. Nor does this anthropomorphization effectively communicate the risk and liability involved with AI-Systems.
This report argues that the way we use language to express AI-Systems use-cases and capabilities plays an important role for decision makers to be able to have the leadership agency they need to make important decisions on a technology that will have wide-spread implications, opportunities and consequences for their organization and for others outside it.
The following pages dissect the most commonly ascribed human traits to AI-Systems and with an intent to de-couple them from technological capabilities in efforts to reduce ambiguity.
The hope is that this document will assist decision-makers, legal counsel and those who support them to be more empowered in their conversations about AI-Systems with technologists.
Strategic Foresight: Sense-making in an Era of Rapid Change
This presentation was a scene setting presentation at the start of a Strategic Foresight Bootcamp.
It provides a high level systems thinking approach to sense-making in this era of rapid change. It starts with complex systems thinking, followed by the six Ds of exponential technology growth and some examples of how technologies converge and have impacts across industries, the presentation concludes with some examples of macro trends that have second and third order effects across industries and supply chains. This presentation encourages strategic thinkers to look outside their bubble to understand and anticipate how other factors will impact their strategic goals and visions.

The Mindset to Thrive in Uncertain, Turbulent & Exponential Times
Our mindset is a critical factor in how we approach the world, create opportunities, solve problems and pave uncharted paths. At present children today will be employed in jobs that don’t exist today and by the time freshman today graduate from college much of what they learned this year will be outdated. This is a direct reflection of how fast things are changing.
This presentation delivered Dr. Lydia Kostopoulos to Morgan Stanley in Glasgow, Scotland offers perspectives on how to reframe our mindset for the next decade and examples of those who created new platforms, others who built creative value propositions, and others who were able to anticipate what others couldn’t imagine.
Leadx: Public-Private Partnership Exercise Handout
This exercise is part of the public-private partnership lecture at the Georgian leadership accelerator Leadx event which took place in Tbilisi in July 2019. This lecture discusses the need for public-private partnerships and collaboration in efforts to address emerging threats and remain competitive. Several U.S. public-private partnership case studies were examined prior to this exercise to develop a plan of action to create contextually suitable networks in each of the participants’ respective countries.
Participants were asked to think about what kinds of collaboration would best suit their needs, who the key stakeholders would be, what resources are needed, what information needs to be shared, as well as how to protect it etc.

Due Diligence Considerations for Scientists, Commanders, and Politicians As T...Dr. Lydia Kostopoulos
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most important advancements of our time which will transform all sectors, namely the defense sector. This technology has Secretary Mattis questioning his original premise that the fundamental nature of war will not change. Leaders across the world have labelled it as a game changer in warfare and President Putin famously said "the nation that leads in AI 'will be the ruler of the world." As commanders, policy makers and scientists alike are exploring AI opportunities they should also consider what due diligence questions and concerns they should be aware of. This presentation aims to cover a broad sweep of ethical items for leadership consideration.Part IV: Workwear Fashion, Human Anatomy, Transparency & Technology

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and Sales
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
