Social engineering and phishing are evolving fast, and AI is making attacks harder to spot and quicker to scale. Joseph Carson joins the show to break down the biggest risks for defenders, from deepfakes and perfect-language phishing to rapid data analysis and malware that adapts in real time. The conversation also explores guardrails, regulation, and what AI can and cannot do well, plus a quick round of security themed “Would you rather” questions.
