Hello, and welcome to Razorwire. This week, I've had a great time discussing the fascinating topic of artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential impact on our industry, with my esteemed Razorthorn consultants, Tom, Jamie and Michael. We explore the different types of AI, including machine learning and chatbots, and discuss the challenges of achieving a low false positive rate and high general application.
You'll gain valuable insights into the evolution of AI and why we MUST take seriously the very real potential for malicious actors to use it for nefarious purposes. We'll also be highlighting the significance of incorporating security measures into AI development and the need for responsible implementation.
By the end of this episode, you'll have a comprehensive overview of AI and its potential risks and benefits in the future of cybersecurity. So join me as we explore this exciting and important topic, and take away key insights that will help you stay ahead in the ever-changing world of cybersecurity.
"The reality of it is AI is a set of predefined algorithms for a compute standard to take in data, process that data, and then come out with a prediction, and that is impacted number one by the data that's being put into it but also the algorithms and controls that are set by the human factor programming that in."
