DEEPFAKE SIMULATIONS.
OVER PROVISIONED AI
AGENTS ARE PROBABLY
THE BIGGEST RISK.
PEOPLE SETTING UP
THEIR AGENTS WITHOUT
ANY GUARD RAILS.
AI.
WHETHER IT'S COMMODITY

BEING ABLE TO
SECURE THAT AND
USE IT RESPONSIBLY.

VERY SERIOUSLY.
DECISIONS TO BEEN MADE
ON THE SCALE
OF WHICH THOSE
BE MADE.
IT'S A AI
DEEPFAKES,
VOICE PHISHING, THINGS
LIKE THAT.
TAX THAT CAN MUTATE.
SO WARES THAT
CAN KIND OF
CHANGE FORM AND
COMPLETELY
OBLITERATE SYSTEMS.
IS PEOPLE ARE
TOO COMFORTABLE

BEEN ATTACKED BEFORE
