Trust But Verify: The Hidden Cost of AI Hallucinations #DTF022

Join Damian, Troy, and Fern on Episode 22 of the DTF Cyber Podcast (@DTFCyberPodcast) as we tear into Deloitte’s $290K AI hallucination disaster—fake references, a misquoted judge, and a botched Australian government report that’s shaking trust in AI. From AI’s role in cyber chaos to practical tips for validation, we’ve got CISOs and tech lovers covered.
