The AI Hacks Have Begun. What Happens Next?
I’m experimenting with a new type of video format. This is more of a deep dive into recent events I think are significant and I think have big future implications. It is a lot of work to come up with the topic and angle and to fully produce it from start to finish. Fortunately AI is helping a lot with the process and it would be too laborious without its help. But just know I’m very involved in the entire process. I’ve experimented with recording my voice but also with using a cloned voice and there are clear pros and cons to both. For this video I’ve chosen to go with a cloned voice at my permission. Personally I think it’s great. But I know some might not like it. Just wanted to be transparent. Anyway, as I experiment with new video formats, I hope you can extend some flexibility since each video format might be very different and it might take some time getting used to. Anyway, I appreciate all those who’ve been subscribers and viewers of my channel over the years.Hacking has moved to machine speed. So who protects us now: people, or 24/7 AI security guards? This video looks at the past few weeks of breaches, then at the bigger questions: what it means for your phone and laptop, for the cloud, for small companies, and four ways this could play out.
