Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Eric Bolden, Guy Serle, Marty Jencius, Jim Rea, Jeff Gamet, Kelly Guimont, and Brian Flanigan-Arthurs examine the efforts by Humane Pin to sell the company for substantial amounts of money, and how that reflects on the company’s founding, investor motivations, and wearable technology interests. To wrap up, the panel looks at Microsoft's Recall and concerns surrounding privacy and data security, comparing it to other monitoring apps and highlighting potential risks. Recall's collection of personal information without user consent, our doubts about data security and user control and contrasting Microsoft's Recall rollout with Apple's practices conclude the discussion.
