    Weekly Update 525: AI Data Breach Hyperbole

    Weekly Update 525: AI Data Breach Hyperbole

    I remember the name of that AI doco now – The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist. I was watching it on the long-haul flight home the other day, and what I found particularly engrossing was the polar-opposite opinions from a bunch of people: “it’s gonna kill us all” versus “it’s gonna make us all rich”, and so on. But to some extent, I can understand the gap between opinions when we’re all just speculating about the future. I have much less understanding for why people infatuate with hyping AI as a data breach monster when the evidence to date is quite the opposite. In fact, I’ve enjoyed sharing example after example of recent breaches perpetrated by kids with a telephone (vishing), while pointing out I haven’t seen a single one orchestrated by AI.

    Speaking of AI, a big thanks to this week’s sponsor who’s doing gtreat things in the agent observability space, Origin. The machines may not be dumping data that lands in HIBP (yet), but they do go off-script and Origin will help trace back precisely what happened when it all goes wrong.
