Episode 151 – The Fast and the Furious 5.1 — Fueling Up for Frontier AI

As frontier AI models become more powerful, concerns about cybersecurity risks are moving to the forefront of policy and business discussions. In this episode of Current Account, Clay is joined by Martin Boer, General Manager and Chief Representative for Europe at the IIF, to examine how advances in AI could reshape the cyber threat landscape. They discuss why security experts are paying close attention to the latest generation of AI systems, how financial institutions are preparing for emerging risks, and whether regulators and standard setters can keep pace with the speed of innovation. The conversation also explores the growing debate over AI governance and what future legislation could mean for innovation, competition, and financial stability. This IIF Podcast was hosted by Clay Lowery, Executive Vice President, Research and Policy, with production and research contributions from Christian Klein, Digital Graphics and Production Associate, and Miranda Silverman, Senior Program Assistant.
