Privacy, data protection and individual rights can potentially be sidelined in the quest for a tech-driven solution to a global problem.\nJoining us today is Joycelyn Longdon. She’s a PhD Student in the Department of Computer Science at Cambridge University. Her research is around looking at the technical, AI-based solutions to environmental protection, and respect local populations, whilst trying to protect our natural habitats.\nShe also runs Climate in Colour, an organisation dedicated to making conversations around climate more diverse and accessible.\nThis is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organisations and what we can learn from it.\nWe'd love to hear your one-minute review of books which have changed your year!
