IA on AI – McDonald's Bot Breach, Google's AI Cyber Win, and Nvidia Hits $4 Trillion

This week on IA on AI, we break down the McDonald's hiring bot fiasco — yes, the one where an AI chatbot exposed data from over 60 million job applicants due to a shockingly simple security lapse. We explore why these matters to internal auditors and what basic control failures like this can teach us about staying vigilant as AI becomes more embedded in business processes.   Plus: An update on the EU AI Act and why U.S.-based organizations should still be paying attention How Google's AI caught a cyberattack in real time — and what this signals for the future of human-in-the-loop systems A $4 trillion milestone for Nvidia and a record-setting $2B seed round for a new AI startup A reality check on AGI: what it is, what it isn't, and why the hype may be outpacing the science Be sure to follow us on our social media accounts on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-audit-podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theauditpodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theauditpodcast?lang=en   Also be sure to sign up for The Audit Podcast newsletter and to check the full video interview on The Audit Podcast YouTube channel.  * This podcast is brought to you by Greenskies Analytics. the services firm that helps auditors leapfrog up the analytics maturity model.
