ITU Tech Monthly | The digital pandemic you didn’t see coming
What would happen if the digital systems we depend on every day suddenly stopped working? In this episode of ITU Tech Monthly, we explore the findings of the new expert report When digital systems fail: The hidden risks of our digital world, produced by ITU in collaboration with UNDRR and Sciences Po. We unpack the critical digital risks that are not cyberattacks—but failures of the physical digital infrastructure that underpins modern life. From cloud and data centre outages to undersea cable disruptions, satellite congestion and even space weather, this conversation reveals why our increasingly connected digital ecosystem may be more fragile than we realise—and why resilience planning must move beyond individual systems to an ecosystem-wide approach. Guests featured in this episode: - Tomas Lamanauskas, Deputy Secretary-General, ITU - Dr. Bushra Al Blooshi, Executive Director of Governance and Risk Management, Dubai Electronic Security Center - Professor Oyku Isik, Co-Chair of the Expert Group; Professor and Advisor on Digital Resilience; Co-Chair of GFC at WE Host: Maximillian Jacobson-Gonzalez In this episode, we discuss: - What a “digital pandemic” could look like - Why cloud infrastructure remains a blind spot in risk planning - Dangerous hidden interdependencies in global digital systems - Why resilience is not just a technical challenge—but a governance one Learn more about the report: https://www.itu.int Subscribe to ITU Tech Monthly for more insights on technology.

ITU Tech Monthly | How AI is transforming radio: Workflow, trust & the future of broadcasting
AI is reshaping the entire radio ecosystem — from content creation and multilingual translation to spectrum management and crisis communications. In this episode of ITU Tech Monthly, we speak with Thiago Aguiar Soares, Senior Radiocommunication Engineer at the ITU Radiocommunication Bureau, to explore how AI is becoming a powerful assistant across radio production and broadcasting workflows. We dive into: How AI supports scripting, editing, music scheduling, and real‑time translation - How broadcasters use AI for spectrum monitoring and interference detection - Why content authentication tools like C2PA are essential in the age of deepfakes - How radio remains vital for emergency alerts — and how AI enhances early warning systems - How ITU Study Group 6 is helping shape global AI‑related broadcast standards Despite rapid advances, Thiago emphasizes one message: AI is a tool, not a voice — and the human touch remains essential for trust, safety, and meaningful audience connection. 👉 Subscribe for more insights from the UN agency for digital technologies.
