Jason explores how cybersecurity is evolving in a world where AI can fake voices, faces, writing styles — even entire digital identities.

The conversation moves beyond traditional hacking and into something more foundational: what happens when reality itself becomes

manipulatable? From deepfake fraud to AI agents running autonomous businesses, this episode unpacks how trust is becoming the most

important — and most fragile — infrastructure we have.
