Ep. 14 Quantum Is Closing In, Data Everywhere, & Peace in Sight

In this episode of Understandable Insights, Sue and Eric put quantum computing on the table—what quantum computers are, why “harvest-now, decrypt-later” raises the stakes for your data, and what a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) world will look like. Plus: China’s threats to restrict rare-earth exports, partnership opportunities in AI-enabled open-source intelligence (OSINT), and the implications of the well deserved Nobel Peace Prize recognition for María Corina Machado of Venezuela.

Programming note: After a two-week break following Sue’s surgery, catch the next UI Podcast release on October 28, 2025.
