The FAIK Files

Cybercriminals Love AI, Librarians Do Not

Listen Later

Welcome back to the FAIK Files!


On this week's episode,

  • We (oh so carefully) touch on how different countries are staking positions on the future of AI
  • Mason offers a bit of self-correction and self-reflection before discussing some the strange nature of how agentic AI systems and robots need to conform the fact that the web and the world was built to be navigated by humans, not machines
  • Perry gives perspective on some new research findings by CheckPoint which show that cybercriminals are flocking to LLMs from China.
  • And our AI Dumpster fire of the Week is about how AI slop is becoming a real problem for librarians.
