SUMMARY:WiCyS February Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Book: Co-Intelligence – Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy by Cathy O’Neil \nWeapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O’Neil explores how big data and algorithms\, often seen as objective and fair\, can actually reinforce inequality and harm society. \nO’Neil argues that many of the mathematical models used to make important decisions—such as who gets hired\, approved for loans\, targeted by police\, or evaluated as a teacher—are opaque\, unregulated\, and built on flawed assumptions. Because these systems operate at massive scale and are difficult to challenge\, their mistakes disproportionately affect poor and marginalized communities while benefiting those already in power. \nThrough real-world examples\, the book shows how bias can be hidden behind numbers and labels like “efficiency” or “neutrality\,” ultimately threatening fairness and democracy. O’Neil calls for greater transparency\, accountability\, and ethical responsibility in how data-driven systems are designed and used. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Webinar | Rethinking GRC: Building an Engineered\, Scalable Future
DESCRIPTION:Governance\, Risk and Compliance (GRC) has long been seen as a process heavy\, documentation-driven function\, but the future demands something very different.

Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of where GRC is headed\, why engineering is at the center of the next wave of innovation\, and how professionals at any stage can contribute to building systems that are not only compliant\, but resilient\, efficient\, and future-ready. \n  \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live.
