The two navigate the complexities of prompt injection vulnerabilities, dynamic adversarial testing, and the balancing act between rapid innovation and robust security. As they discuss the human and technical factors that contribute to these risks, Deep and Keith challenge the industry to view security not as an afterthought, but as an integral feature of every AI-driven product.
