The Peril and the Promise

When ChatGPT was released in November 2022, it ushered in a revolution, reaching 100 million monthly active users within two months, one of the fastest adoption curves in consumer tech history.

Even inside the White House, policymakers were forced to confront a stark reality: this technology carries extraordinary promise, and extraordinary peril. In this episode of the Thales Security Sessions Podcast, former White House advisor Diane Staheli takes us behind the scenes of how governments, model creators, and security leaders are racing to close governance gaps, outpace adversaries, and prevent AI risk at a pace no one has ever seen before.
