You get a FaceTime from a loved one. They're in trouble. Big trouble.  Their life is in danger. They need you to Venmo you $, they have no choice.

Except...it's not them you're FaceTiming with, it's an AI-enabled deepfake that can talk to you real-time.

Welcome to the fun world of AI phishing and cyberattacks!

Christian Seifert, a veteran cyber-security expert (he used to head up cyber-security at Microsoft, and now he's Researcher in Residence at the Forta network), joins the show to unpack these kinds of risks. How worried should you be? How grim will the future get?

We cover:
How AI makes it easier for personalized scams and fakes (2:30); why AI security needs to be baked into the tech and tools we use today (8:30); why “prompt injections” pose a risk and what we can do about it (18:00 ); how AI agents could cause mischief as a type of “super virus” (20:00); whether he prefers open-sourced or closed-sourced AI development for AI safety (25:00); why Christian is cautiously *optimistic* that the future will bring an advantage to AI safety defenders (26:30); and recommendations to the listener of how they can minimize AI risk (29:30); and a surprise twist that AI is making the jobs of cyber-security... paradoxically easier?

Am o admirație pentru cei care se pun ”împotriva sistemului”, pentru cei care vor binele celor mulți, chiar dacă se pun rău cu cei puțini și mai puternici. Rolul de inspector la ANPC mi se pare unul dintre cele mai grele din industrie, asta dacă îl faci cum trebuie, ca la carte. 

Horia Constantinescu este momentan șeful ANPC, și este în stare să își pună în cap pe oricine, doar ca să închidă o dugheană ce vine orice altceva decât mâncare. Ba chiar a promulgat o lege prin care pe meniul resturantelor vei citi și ingredientele cu care este făcută mâncare ta. Toate ingredientele. Să vedem atunci distracție, dar și mâncare mai cinstită.

Ever have a low battery on your cell phone and wish you could just swap it out for a fresh one with a full charge? Imagine if you could do that same thing with your car battery when it was running low? That's exactly what EV car maker NIO, Inc. has pioneered - battery swap technology that will replace a  depleted car battery with a fresh one. This is just one of the innovations that I'll talk about with Ganesh Iyer, Global Chief Information Officer (CIO) for NIO. Headquartered in Shanghai, China, NIO was started in 2014 by founder and CEO, William Li. NIO is a pioneer in China’s premium EV market driving innovation in connectivity, autonomous driving,  and charging solutions. 

So come along for the ride and get to know Ganesh and NIO, Inc. as we roll in a 2021 NIO ES8 and discuss:

• The future of EV driving
• Proprietary built in artificial intelligence (AI)
• Battery swap stations
• Battery as a Service (BAAS)
• The NIO ES8
• Autonomous Driving
• The NIO EP9 (featured in the Xbox game Forza Horizon 5 and now on display at the Peterson hypercar museum in Los Angeles)
• The EP9's autonomous world speed record set at COTA in Austin, TX
