About this listen
When AI meets cyber creeps, how do we stay safe?
In this Halloween-themed episode of aiGED, Ginny Deerin (and her digital sidekick Bitsy) explore the shadowy world of cybersecurity in the age of AI. From hacked fuel pipelines to deepfake ransom calls, Ginny unpacks how the “bad actors” are using AI — and how the good folks are fighting back.
We’ll dig into:
- The rise of AI-powered ransomware
- Why hospitals are especially vulnerable
- What on earth “pre-positioning” means (and why it’s spooky)
- How Passkeys may save us all — and how to start using them
This isn’t a tech panic party — it’s a practical look at how to protect yourself, with a few chuckles and Bitsy’s hot takes along the way.
🎃 No costume required — just curiosity.
