In this thought-provoking episode, cybersecurity researcher Sam Lyhin joins forces with AI researcher Vlad Grankovsky to explore the darker side of artificial intelligence: AI-powered social engineering attacks.

Together, we dive deep into how both AI and hacking really work - and imagine what the future might look like. From exploiting business logic with AI to training AI to manipulate human psychology, Sam and Vlad break down how emerging technologies could revolutionize the way attackers target people - and how we can defend against it.

🧠 Topics explored include:

- Can AI discover business logic flaws?How can AI adapt its strategy during an attack?

- Does AI have intuition - and can we define or formalize it?

- How do attacker AIs "visualize" and approach their human targets?

- What could effective AI-driven education look like?

- Why can’t we remove tech-savvy users from the Internet - and how do we still protect them?

🔒 Whether you're in tech, cybersecurity, or just curious about the risks and potential of AI, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
