Artificial intelligence promises to transform productivity, business and government – but what happens when the technology starts making decisions its human operators never intended?
In this episode of the Contested Ground podcast, Phil Tarrant is joined by Major General (Ret’d) Dr Marcus Thompson to examine the rapidly emerging security risks surrounding AI, from autonomous agents exploiting vulnerabilities to the growing challenge of keeping increasingly powerful systems inside appropriate guardrails.
