You've heard me say on many occasions we're shifting into the age of distrust.

This week I'm exploring what that means and why it's happening as I dive into the complex world of deepfakes and cybersecurity with Jason Thatcher, founder of Breacher.ai. Together we're the evolving threats posed by AI technologies.

In our conversation, we cover how deepfakes are created and the ethical challenges they pose. While this reality often creates a polarized conversation, we'll bring a balanced view on AI, discussing its potential for both innovation and misuse. We also explore practical strategies for individuals and organizations to shield themselves against digital deception, emphasizing the importance of digital literacy and situational awareness.

I think you'll find the entire episode filled with actionable advice on how to navigate the challenges of this advanced technology in our everyday lives. Hopefully, by understanding the mechanics behind deepfakes and learning how to enhance our defenses, we can better prepare ourselves for a future where digital authenticity is constantly questioned.
