First there was news that Equifax, the credit rating agency, had been hacked<\/a>. Then came stories about questionable stock sales by execs before<\/em> the breach became public. Then…anger and confusion from some of the 143 million people affected.<\/p>\n

And finally, this week, came the retirement of the company’s CEO.<\/p>\n

It’s enough to (almost) make our panel of tech experts \u2013 Network World<\/em>‘s Brandon Butler, CSO<\/em>‘s Fahmida Rashid, Macworld<\/em>‘s Michael Simon and Computerworld<\/em> Executive Editor Ken Mingis \u2013 throw up their collective arms as everyone tries to figure out how to stop it from happening again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That collective primal scream morphed into a discussion of whether artificial intelligence will one day be as ubiquitous as electricity<\/a>\u00a0(ubiquitous \u2013 yes; the new electricity \u2013 no).<\/p>\n

And our panel wrapped up with a look at Simon’s new Apple Watch Series 3 \u2013 which has been dinged for problems with its signature feature: cellular access<\/a>, sans iPhone. Simon’s verdict: The issue is real, can be mitigated and will likely be fixed soon by Apple with a software update.<\/p>\n
