In Episode 183 of the AIAW Podcast, we’re joined by Åsa Schwarz, CEO of Aranya Consulting, cybersecurity expert, board member at Precise Biometrics and Enea, and acclaimed Swedish crime fiction author, for a deep dive into the rapidly evolving intersection of AI and cybersecurity. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in cyber defense and technology strategy, Åsa explores how AI is reshaping the threat landscape—from attacks on legacy infrastructure and operational technology systems to deepfakes, automated phishing, and large-scale disinformation. We also discuss the growing AI security divide between Europe and the United States, the evolution of criminal business models in the AI era, and what organizations must do to build resilience in a world where trust, identity, and digital sovereignty are increasingly at stake.
