Oliver Tavakoli from VectraAI returns to the program to talk about \u2013 surprise! \u2013 AI! Having talked about Tavakoli's origin story on the past episode, we\u2019re free to dig right into his main area of interest: the ways in which generative AI can be used by bad actors, whether introducing conflicting messages into GPT guardrail commands or escalating the nuance and complexity of fake-based social engineering attacks. We talk about long-term implications of this emerging tech opportunity, ways for new professionals to get comfortable with its requirements quickly, and Tavakoli lets us know what this \u201csummer of AI\u201d will mean for the coming years, and also why its endless innovation may cool for a few years, and that\u2019s OK.
