Ep 00001010 - Securing the AI Frontier: Navigating Data Protection in Generative AI Applications

Welcome to the latest episode of AI Explored: The Human’s Guide to the Future, where we tackle the fascinating world of Artificial Intelligence. Join your host, Jeremy, as he navigates the intricacies of AI with humor, insights, and expert analysis. Overview: In this episode, Jeremy is joined by James Pham, founder of Opsin, to explore one of the most pressing issues in enterprise AI adoption: data protection. While the headlines often focus on exotic model attacks, the real risks come from something far more familiar—oversharing. Together, they unpack how tools like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini can surface sensitive data, why shadow AI is quietly spreading inside organizations, and what enterprises can do to secure the frontier. Highlights: Why oversharing—not prompt injection—is the biggest security risk. How enterprises are piloting Gen AI tools while balancing ROI and privacy. Real-world stories James has gathered from leaders across industries. What CISOs, engineers, and everyday users can do to adopt AI securely. Engage and Reflect: Jeremy invites listeners to reflect on their own encounters with AI adoption. Has your workplace experienced shadow AI or accidental oversharing?
