AI is everywhere—but a lot of what people believe about it isn’t true.

In this episode of Security Intelligence, Ray Mendoza sits down with Angel Delgado and Alexa Barrera to break down some of the biggest misconceptions around AI—and what businesses actually need to understand today.

From the idea that AI is “smarter than humans” to the fear that it will replace entire jobs, this conversation clears up what AI really is: a fast, powerful tool—but not one that thinks, understands, or operates on its own.

They also dive into the real impact of AI in business—how it’s already being used to reduce repetitive work, improve efficiency, and give teams more time to focus on what actually matters. At the same time, they highlight the risks that come from misunderstanding it, especially when it comes to security, data, and implementation.

This episode also explores why AI isn’t just tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and why small businesses have more to gain than they think, and how the gap is quickly growing between those who are using AI effectively—and those who aren’t.

If you’re using AI, thinking about it, or unsure where to start, this is a conversation that will help you see it more clearly.
