ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
When discussing machine learning models “Black Box” is typically deployed as a helpful metaphor but from a hardware perspective the term is meant literally. How can we open the inside processors of a phone to verify that what’s inside is actually what we thought was inside? How does the minimalist aesthetic of consumer electronics create the illusion of technology as magic? Andrew "bunnie" Huang is a hacker, maker, and open hardware activist joining us on the WBI show to discuss these questions as well as share updates on Precursor. Alongside Edward Snowden, he worked on the Introspection Engine, a device allowing journalists to identify if and when their phones are transmitting or receiving information when it shouldn't be. Precursor is the development platform working to push out a new iteration of this device.
Bunnie holds a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from MIT and is the author of Hacking the Xbox.
