His current areas of research include the security implications of exponential technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence, the social data revolution, synthetic biology, virtual worlds, genomics, ubiquitous computing and location-based services.
For over a decade, he worked extensively with INTERPOL, the International Criminal Police Organisation as a Senior Advisor to the organisation’s Steering Committee on Information Technology Crime. In that capacity, Goodman has trained police forces throughout the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America and Asia and has chaired numerous INTERPOL expert groups on next generation security threats.
