  • #50 Multi-Agent AI Systems with Samira Abedini
    AI learns from us—including how we communicate, argue and persuade each other. So what happens when AI agents start talking to each other? CISPA researcher Samira Abedini and her colleagues found that one stubborn and persuasive agent can sometimes convince an entire group to adopt a wrong answer. She explains how a model originally developed to describe human opinion formation can surprisingly well explain how LLM agents influence each other—and where we can already find multi-agent AI systems in the real world today.

  • #48 The Social Media Platform of the Future with Jane Im
    Social media connects us – but who is really in control? Algorithms decide what we see, platforms decide how we interact, and users often have less control than they'd like to. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
    In this episode, CISPA researcher Jane Im talks about how we could redesign social media platforms to give users more agency, create healthier online communities, and rethink how social media should be funded in the future.

  • #47 Zertifizierung und das Monitoring von Drohnen mit Jan Baumeister

    Von einem spezialisierten Techthema haben sich Drohnen zu einer wichtigen Zukunftstechnologie entwickelt, die zahlreiche Standards erfüllen muss, darunter auch vielfältige Sicherheitsfunktionen. Für einen sicheren Drohnenflug müssen alle Systeme zuverlässig funktionieren. Deshalb werden die Komponenten nicht nur während des Flugs überwacht, sondern bereits in der Entwicklungsphase – lange bevor eine Zertifizierung erfolgt. Der CISPA-Forscher Jan Baumeister erklärt im Podcast, welche Drohnentypen es gibt, wie und warum sie zertifiziert werden und wie das von ihm mitentwickelte Tool RTLola beim Monitoring von Drohnenflügen unterstützt. Außerdem gibt er Einblicke in seine Zeit als PhD am CISPA.

  • #46 Fairness and Representation in AI with Tẹjúmádé Àfọ̀njá

    From job applications to loan approvals, AI systems are increasingly being explored and deployed in decisions that shape people’s lives. But what happens when these systems learn from biased data? Can they ever be truly fair?

    In this episode, CISPA researcher Tẹjúmádé Àfọ̀njá unpacks why more accurate predictions in a model don’t automatically mean fairer outcomes, why representation in AI and machine learning matters, and why it’s not only important how AI systems are built – but also by whom.

  • #43 Agorithmische Fairness mit Julian Siber
    Aufgrund der Allgegenwart von KI-Anwendungen im Alltag steigt auch die Bedeutung von Algorithmen für die Menschen. Aber wie lässt sich garantieren, dass Algorithmen faire Entscheidungen treffen? Dies ist ein Thema, das den CISPA-Forscher Julian Siber umtreibt. Im Podcast sprechen wir darüber, woher die Bias von Algorithmen kommen, welche Ansätze es für algorithmische Fairness gibt, ob wir Fairness-by-Design brauchen und welche Lösung er favorisiert. Für seinen eigenen Ansatz hat der die Spezifikationssprache RTLola weiterentwickelt, die bisher vor allem in der Luftfahrt Anwendung fand.

  • #CISPA@USENIX 2025 – Browser Extension Security with Shubham Agarwal
    Usenix Security 2025 is coming up fast – and in this special conference episode of CISPA TL;DR, we’re diving into the world of browser extensions with CISPA researcher Shubham Agarwal. Browser extensions can be incredibly useful – think ad blockers, password managers, or translation tools. But while they extend what our browsers can do, they also often gain access to everything we do online: what we read, type, and click. That makes them a powerful, and potentially risky, piece of software. Shubham took a closer look at the security practices of browser extension developers. What assumptions do they make? What do they get wrong? And what could be done better to protect users? Tune in to hear what he found—and what it means for the security of your daily browsing.

  • #CISPA@USENIX 2025 – Phone Theft and Human Behavior with Divyanshu Bhardwaj
    USENIX Security 2025 in Seattle is just around the corner! As one of the leading conferences in security and privacy, it's the perfect time to take a closer look at the research being presented. In this special conference episode of CISPA TL;DR, we talk to CISPA researcher Divyanshu Bhardwaj about his work on one of modern life’s worst nightmares: phone theft. As Divyanshu points out, our phones hold almost everything—photos, boarding passes, banking apps, and more. So what actually happens when your phone gets stolen? And how can we better protect users in that worst-case scenario? Tune in to hear what Divyanshu learned from real-world phone theft victims and what steps he thinks we can take to keep our data safe, even when our phones fall into the wrong hands.

About CISPA TL;DR - Der Podcast über KI- und IT-Sicherheitsforschung

From the publisher's feed

Wie sicher ist das Web? Welchen Einfluss hat der Faktor Mensch auf die Sicherheit von Computersystemen? Welche Potenziale birgt künstliche Intelligenz und welchen Risiken stehen wir damit gegenüber? In TL;DR ("Too Long; Didn't Read"), dem ersten CISPA-Podcast, sprechen wir jeden Monat mit Forscher:innen über ihre Arbeiten zu Cybersicherheitsthemen und künstlicher Intelligenz – und versuchen ihnen genau die Fragen zu stellen, die sich die Hörer:innen auch stellen.
