Live at RSA: AI Hype, Enhanced Security, and the Future of Cybersecurity Tools
In this first-ever in-person recording of Shared Security, Tom and Kevin, along with special guest Matt Johansen from Reddit, discuss their experience at the RSA conference in San Francisco, including their walk-through of ‘enhanced security’ and the humorous misunderstanding that ensued. The conversation moves to the ubiquity of AI and machine learning buzzwords at the conference, questioning the genuine impact versus hype, and the saturation of AI claims among vendors. They explore the real-world applications of AI, how it’s currently being utilized in cybersecurity, and its potential to assist smaller security teams and raise the ‘cybersecurity poverty line.’ The discussion also touches on the false positives in AI-driven security tools and the nuanced benefits of AI in improving English proficiency globally, which could indirectly assist cybercriminals. ** Links mentioned on the show ** Subscribe to Matt’s newsletter “Vulnerable U” https://mattjay.com/newsletter/ Follow Matt on Twitter https://twitter.com/mattjay Follow Matt on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewjohansen/ ** Watch this episode on YouTube ** ** Become a Shared Security Supporter ** Get exclusive access to ad-free episodes, bonus episodes, listen to new episodes before they are released, get access to our private Discord server, receive a monthly shout-out on the show, and get a discount code for 15% off merch at the Shared Security store.

Don’t Trust Your AI Girlfriend or Boyfriend, Exposing US Government Data Collection

Paying Big Tech for Privacy, New Privacy Policy Study, Biden’s Executive Order on AI
In this week’s episode of the Shared Security Podcast, hosts Tom Eston, Scott Wright and Kevin Johnson tackle a number of topics related to AI, privacy and security. They begin with an amusing discussion about their respective roles on the podcast, before shifting to big tech’s use of user data and whether subscribers should pay to not have their data used. The focus then turns to a recent move by Meta to charge European users who wish to use Instagram and Facebook without ads. Next, they touch on new research from NordVPN about the burdensome length and complexity of privacy policies on popular websites, and offer alternatives for consumers to navigate them. Lastly, the hosts discuss a new executive order by the Biden administration directed towards AI companies, calling for a watermark system to alert consumers when they interact with an AI-enabled product. They express concerns about businesses benefiting from the new AI rules while potentially stifling competition and highlight the need for stronger, enforceable laws to truly protect users’ data and privacy. ** Links mentioned on the show * Should we pay big tech NOT to use our data?
