Episode 46 - AI & Security

In Episode 46 of '100 Days of Data,' Jonas and Amy explore the increasingly complex relationship between artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. They break down how AI is being weaponized through deepfakes, personalized phishing, and social engineering attacks—and how it simultaneously strengthens defenses through anomaly detection, biometric authentication, and real-time threat monitoring. Drawing from real-world examples and consulting experiences, they examine the arms race between attackers and defenders in the digital space. Key topics include the mechanics of deepfakes via GANs, the challenges of detection, and emerging solutions like digital watermarks and AI-enhanced threat response. With practical insights and forward-looking analysis, this episode highlights why AI security is no longer a backend issue—it’s a strategic imperative.
