caroline: the world's biggest operating system has announced the next generation of its mobile software, known for now as android oh. it is currently unfinished and only available as a development preview. it aims to give developers a leg up before it is officially released later this year. it will help conserve battery life and customization of the lock screen to allow quick access to features. google is out with its annual android security year in review. the report looks back at 2016 and steps the company has taken to keep android users and their data safe. among the highlights, updates were delivered to 735 million devices. adrian ludwig joins me now with more. it's fascinating to pour through these things. how did you detect more of these harmful apps?
1:15 am
what research have you deployed? adrian: we realized it was important to us to have visibility into devices out in the world and being used by people in real-time. in order to provide that birdseye view, we began to run security checks on those devices. we run about 700 million security checks per day across the ecosystem. caroline: phenomenal numbers. what do i do to avoid some of these more potentially harmful apps? adrian: the simplest thing you can do is be conscious of where you're getting your applications. users that download applications from google play are much safer, almost a full order of magnitude. it's almost 10 times less likely to install a harmful application than if they were getting it from another place or another store. caroline: you work with many device manufacturers.
1:16 am
have you got a bird's eye perspective on where geographically or regionally some of the weakness prone ones are coming from? are you taking more control from these various carriers? adrian: it's hundreds of carriers. it's an incredibly diverse ecosystem. country by country, it's often in the dozens. there are some areas in the world that are more of two -- more at risk. we see that sort of distribution. north america tends to be one of the safer places, as does europe and some of -- some countries like japan in asia. caroline: emerging markets, really. adrian: it's definitely an area we need to provide more investment across the ecosystem, providing protection for people who have not in the past been able to afford those protections. android is about providing technology. we are making sure it is safe access as well. caroline: we were talking about the update to the android operating system, still in development.
1:17 am
will that have a keen focus on security? adrian: absolutely. there are a number of important security features in the new android, as there have been in the last several releases. one of the most important features that has received a lot of attention is encryption. we saw encryption rise almost 80% of android 7.0 users, the release that went out last year. 100 million users have encryption turned on by default, including in areas that previously have not had access to that kind of prediction -- protection. caroline: we are speaking on i day whe -- on a day where there has been another terror attack. we've seen the world of technology and cybersecurity collide in some ways. can you see where -- where do you see your role in cybersecurity and the terrorist threat when it comes to encryption? adrian: we've seen that technology enables people to
1:18 am
become closer together, communicate more effectively, and understand what's going on in the world, especially on a day like today, where we are very concerned about what we've seen and we are still finding out the information. that ability to share information is absolutely critical. caroline: what about when we see, perhaps, the leaks that we got from wikileaks, about what the government in the united states is able to do in terms of monitoring -- it is terrorist threats, but still wanting to be able to access our own devices, but not break the encryption. where do you feel that tension lies? is it is something -- is it something you're having to respond to? adrian: we have looked at those cases and we will continue to investigate to try to find out what we can know and how to improve those protections. we take it very seriously, making sure every user of android devices gets those protections. caroline: planes, air travel,
1:19 am
not allowing laptops or products, whether it be tablets -- how is that something you have to work with, whether they can be made into explosive devices? adrian: one of the things i'm most proud of in the android security report is that our goal is to make information available about what real threats are and where those threats originate. you're pouring to a perfect -- you are pointing to a perfect example. we don't know exactly what the concerns are there. the more information that can be made available, the better security decisions we can make. looking forward to finding out some of the facts behind those decisions. caroline: thank you very much indeed. it's been great having your opinion. the director of

caroline: at&t says it is -- that comes after an uproar about ads that ran along offensive years. at&t says it is deeply concerned that its ads may have appeared alongside youtube
1:23 am
content advertising terrorism and hate. the controversy erected last week when the times reported that some ads were running with videos that supported terrorism or anti-semitism. airbnb is doubling its investment in china, increasing its workforce, and adopting a new name. will all of this effort pay off? let's bring in brad stone, senior executive editor at bloomberg technology. tell us what it means. you have this fabulous book, "the upstarts." you know airbnb inside out. first of all, this focus on china -- how important could it be in terms of driving growth? brad: it's a massive market. i think you have a couple hundred million millennials alone. it's one of the largest tourism markets in the world.
1:24 am
the opportunity there is large, even if they are not the largest player, and it doesn't look like they are going to be. there is a local player, as there always is in china. a big travel agency has invested in them. homeaway has invested in them. over 400 million listings. airbnb in china maybe has -- it is over 400,000 listings, and airbnb is at 80,000. they have a lot of work cut out for them. caroline: was the ceo welcomed with love when he spoke in shanghai? brad: he was in india recently, appeared with prime minister modi. they've invested a lot in japan. i think he is welcomed as a pioneer, which he is. what he's bringing out to these parts of asia is something called the "trips platform." airbnb wants to give travelers things to do, experiences. when you go to shanghai, go to
1:25 am
the traditional folk opera. go see the figurines. that is powerful and an innovative idea, that you can give people often it things to do when they travel -- give people authentic things to do when they travel. people are responding well to it. caroline: sequoia, an investor in airbnb, has a chinese arm. they said they would help airbnb moving to china, and they would help with the search for a ceo for airbnb in china. that still hasn't happened. it feels like this has been a long time coming. brad: this is the road that every u.s. internet company must travel in china. we saw uber do the same thing and then retreat from china last year. there is a home-field advantage in china. people prefer the local player. the local player tends to integrate more with tools from alibaba. airbnb has rolled out its own integrations, but clearly they
1:26 am
have a bit of an uphill fight. they can be a second or even a third tier player and still succeed. in india where they are strong, it is still 1% of their overall business. these are all economies that are evolving. there will be more travel to and from these countries. i think airbnb is positioning itself for the future, even if they have started somewhat slow. caroline: thank you very much. bloomberg technology's brad stone. a story we are watching for you, instagram is expanding into booking and reservations. the photo sharing application will allow you to set up appointments with the likes of restaurants by clicking the button within the business's instagram profile. it will give advertisers a direct way to measure the power of the app and could pose a challenge to other companies like yelp. still to come, adobe shares near a record high as the software giant unveils its latest cloud offerings in las vegas.

an experience cloud of enterprise products in las vegas. ceo santanathe narayan about the new offering -- shantanu narayen. shantanu: it's about using data and intelligence to deliver to the right person at the right time. artificial intelligence, for us, is actually about harnessing the magic that we already -- we have always delivered in our products. when people use photoshop or illustrator, you always say "how do you do that?" it's about taking all the incredible knowledge we have about documents and content and predictions, as we've done in the marketing space, and delivering that, not just to customers, but also to developers who can then build on that. caroline: i wonder whether we could see more partnerships.
1:35 am
salesforce and ibm have teamed up over ai. would you consider a partnership with ai or other parts of the business? shantanu: the partnership with microsoft is a very important one for us. they standardized on the adobe clouds for their marketing and delivery needs to make sure these products work together. our ai framework is an open framework. our ability to work with multiple ai providers to ensure the best value for our customers is absolutely something we would continue to focus on. caroline: in this new era of digital age, looking at machine learning, looking at video really dominating when it comes to digital advertising and marketing, how are you seeing
1:36 am
your role within video, in particular with the new formats we are seeing, driven by snapchat, for example? shantanu: video has always been a tremendous growth opportunity for us. i don't think there is another company that has as much end-to-end offering in video. hollywood uses premier pro to do all of their editing. we have two other products. prime time allows people to deliver content digitally. if people are watching bloomberg on a device, chances are there is some piece of adobe software used to do that. we recently acquired a company that does video advertising. the holy grail is to deliver the right piece of video content and to monetize it for the publishers. i think adobe is in a unique position to help with video. caroline: are you seeing more demand from customers to be able to put it into the snapchat format? how important an outlet do you think it will become for your
1:37 am
marketers, as in the same way that facebook and youtube have already become? shantanu: enabling our marketers to experiment with all the different channels that exist out there, as you mentioned, whether it's facebook, google, snapchat, and ensuring that people understand how it's being perceived by the customers and what the best return of investment is, that is another area where ai really comes into being. we also have what we call the analytics cloud. in real time, you can optimize all of this. we certainly are getting a lot of our marketers who want to explore how different channels deliver different results. caroline: you mentioned to mobile -- q mobile. talk to me a little bit more about m&a. i was speaking to marc benioff yesterday. he thinks the window for m&a might be closing. would you agree? shantanu: we continue to look at m&a. our lens on m&a tends to be do they have great technology, do they have great people, and is the culture aligned with us.
1:38 am
if you look at our track record, we are constantly looking for innovative companies. i think there is more innovation that is happening, particularly in digital marketing, where we are the leaders. there have been so many companies that have been formed, a lot of which are not sustainable businesses. we will continue to look at it, but with that lens of making sure there is great technology, like was the case with q mob ile, and great people. caroline: there are companies managing to be born. do you look geographically in silicon valley? shantanu: silicon valley continues to reinvent itself and do a fantastic job. as we know, access to capital and talent is phenomenal in the valley. i would say new york has also been a hub, especially as advertising has been big in new york. we've made a couple of really great acquisitions, both on the digital media side for the creative business as well as on the digital marketing side in new york.

great talent exists anywhere. we will just go where the talent is. caroline: fascinating. i want to know about a man who has driven the share price up so phenomenally since 2011, record highs. it feels as though nothing can go wrong. i want to know about some of the potential paranoia, a great line coming from your own general manager of digital marketing, saying, "we are believers that only the paranoid survive." what makes you paranoid? shantanu: when i take a step back and think about the role that adobe plays, changing the world through digital experiences in this experienced economy we are in, the opportunities for adobe and the canvas on which our product people can innovate has never been higher. the thing that i continue to be paranoid about is are we executing against the opportunity and are we as hungry as we were. let's continue to execute and everything else takes care of itself.

1:42 am
1:43 am
1:44 am
caroline: the lack of diversity in the tech industry is pretty well understood by now, except seemingly for those who work in it. according to a new survey, 94% of american tech company workers give their industry and their teams a passing grade on diversity. keep in mind that 76% of technical jobs are held by men and that blacks and latinos make up only 5% of the workforce. what is causing this disconnect? joining us is aubrey blanche and bloomberg technology reporter ellen huet. ladies, great to have you around this table. this is an amazing piece of work that you have done, this report. 94% give a passing grade to their current company, but then
1:45 am
we saw those stats here to what's going on here? aubrey: there is an arm's perception versus reality gap. part of that is because -- there is enormous perception versus reality gap. we talk about diversity and people look around and see people who are different from them. the tech industry has a lot of international workers. the fact is our actual goal is to stop the systematic exclusion of women, of black and latinos, of other people with marginalized identities. we need to move into talking about that direction. caroline: it's a fascinating topic that was on the front cover of "the atlantic." interesting. there have been many an advocate, we've heard many women get up there and put this report through. what are people starting to say is the recipe to fix this? ellen: it's really emerging that
1:46 am
people are understanding there is not a single silver bullet. there's not a single way that this is going to be fixed. people understand the more you talk about something, the more information you have out there publicly about it, the closer we can get to figuring out what works and what doesn't. she is well known -- she was one of the few people to push for companies to put out their demographic stats to begin with. now it's something we saw happening a lot since 2014. everyone is looking for the perfect way to fix it, but we are slowly coming to realize it invites -- involves a lot of small steps. it's very hard work. sometimes people forget there is not going to be one way to fix it, even though it is tempting to think there might be. caroline: what you are doing -- you are looking at the psychological barriers, potentially, some of the structural barriers. why we don't get full representation and also how are you intervening, what are your programs doing to overcome these. aubrey: part of it is breaking down the lack of knowledge. 20% of respondents said they believed their company is a meritocracy, which the church -- which research shows us when you
1:47 am
believe that you are more likely to be biased. it's an industrywide myth we told ourselves. we educate our employees on how to build one in the first place. auditing your promotion rates, ensuring you are paying people fairly, looking at the rates that candidates are passing through your hiring to make sure it's the same between men and women or between white people and people of color. these are grounded in empirical social science, and these -- that's where we start. caroline: companies that have been held up as doing well against the rest? any particularly failing? ellen: if you talk to any company, they will tell you they are trying to work -- what they are trying to work on. interest and slack have come out and said -- pinterest and slack
1:48 am
have come out and said, here is our goal, we are really prioritizing it. every company has different priorities or different resources depending on the size of the company. it's definitely something that, i think, people continue to want to have more specifics about. the more we see people talking about it, the better. caroline: i was at the makers conference. tim armstrong announced that day that there would be 50% of executives would be female and it would be 50/50 in terms of pay, ensuring there was balanced pay. give us your view geographically. there is a geographical difference. is it a silicon valley problem? i see just as much of a problem in the united kingdom. aubrey: if you're even just looking at women in technology, the rates of women getting technical degrees is different across a bunch of companies. you see a lot of geographic variation, which can be an aspect of different cities we
1:49 am
-- diversity that we are trying to go for. to go back to your earlier point, one of the reasons we commissioned the study was because benchmarking and proper measurement is actually really important in trying to figure out how to make progress. you can't make progress if you don't know where you are. the other thing is we heard from ceo's, from heads of diversity, like myself. but we have not heard a lot from what the frontline and the average tech worker is doing. none of this is going to matter if we don't start changing the culture of the industry. it's the real people every day who are going to do that. we need a better understanding of where they are so we can understand what the next step forward is. caroline: voices out there today will help drive that forward. thank you very much. ellen huet and aubrey blanche. now, coming up, one company is trained to modernize residential real estate through tech. a report on its efforts, next. this is bloomberg.

caroline: at the time when the future of the american workforce is looking more and more automated, one company wants to embrace human interactions. it's a technology driven real estate company. it just announced a new feature called collection, aiming to be what the company calls the pinterest of real estate. joining us is leonard steinberg. thank you for joining us. i want to understand how this is really allowing companies such as yourselves to become more digital. what's been holding it back? in the u.s., there is trulia, redfin. they have seen that people want to look at houses online. why do real estate agents and sellers seem a bit slow to it? leonard: this is the first tool that combines technology with the human experience.
1:53 am
i do believe that technology without the human experience is not going to function very well in the real estate sphere. this is an evolution that is really revolutionary. caroline: automation -- do you see it continuing to improve elements? how will a i -- everyone is talking about machine learning. you really feel this needs to be a human-to-human element? leonard: it's an interactive technology. even homes that are an investment are often very much a personal experience. real estate is a combination of an emotional and pragmatic purchase. we combined the very best of technology with the very best of the human element, which is the real estate agent, and we find, consistently, that the interaction and the transaction of real estate doesn't function very well without an agent.
1:54 am
collections really incorporates the agent along with the client, the customer, whether they are a buyer or seller. the buyer or the seller can invite in family members, spouse, friends. people are required to help with the decision of this caliber. collections allows for this interactive, collaborative effort. caroline: there is a company ed purple bricks, which is getting rid of the real estate agent, allowing me to rent out my property, go directly to someone else. it has started to push away the middle person. is this the fight back? leonard: i think the challenge to any consumer today to do a real estate transaction is incredibly challenging. i believe that, without the help of a human being, no technology on its own will be able to navigate you through that process. as much as there is a lot of data out there, a lot of information, a lot of tools,
1:55 am
having these tech tools combined with the human element makes for a curated experience. that is what makes collections a premier tool, not only for agents, but for buyers and for sellers. it's an incredible form of communication. it also introduces an element that is so important in luxury marketing, the experiential element. people can really enjoy the experience of real estate, as opposed to dread it. most people dread buying, selling, or renting a home. caroline: while they have gone to potentially looking at compass' new collections to find their property, what cities are they going to find it tough in at the moment? how is the tech environment, whether in silicon valley, boston, new york -- where is it almost getting too hot because of tech? leonard: i think there is a tremendous gravitation towards
1:56 am
large cities, especially cities like san francisco, los angeles, new york, boston, washington, d.c., miami. these cities are drawing in the tech crowd, mostly because of their outstanding educational facilities. but that community is very much drawn to the technology aspect of real estate search. these cities are also looking for bubbleized communities where you have walkability. there is something wonderful about walking from your home to work and not being stuck in traffic. we are finding within these large cities there are micro-communities happening. i believe in san francisco we are experiencing a constant battle with multiple bidding. caroline: thank you so much. sorry to have to jump in. we could have you on for hours. thank you very much for joining us. that does it for this edition of "bloomberg technology."
