The Watchers

Dr. Yolanda Reid explains why post-quantum migration will require more than replacing encryption algorithms—and why organizations should expect systems to fail during the transition. She examines AI drift, offensive cyber risk, responsible regulation, government brain drain, and the danger of trusting technology without auditing it. Drawing from national security work, AI adoption research, and her experience surviving cancer, Yolanda offers a candid perspective on preparing for technological change while continuing to invest in human judgment.
