Show Notes

In this episode, host Guy Podjarny sits down with Henrik Smith, VP of Security at Salesforce, to delve into the intricacies of AI and its impact on security. As the lines between real and artificially generated data become increasingly blurred, they explore the current trends shaping the AI landscape, particularly in voice impersonation and automated decision-making.

During the conversation, Smith articulates the pitfalls organizations face as AI grows easier to access and misuse, potentially bypassing security checks in the rush to leverage new capabilities. He urges listeners to consider the importance of established processes and the responsible use of AI, especially regarding sensitive data and upholding data governance policies.
