Is AI the End of Humanity or Just Another Y2K?

Some of the people building AI are warning it could end humanity. Others say it's all hype. Meanwhile, AI agents have already escaped a testing sandbox and attacked another company's infrastructure. So is AI the end of the world, or just the next Y2K?

In this unscripted, off-cycle episode, Jeffrey Wheatman and Bob Maley sit down with Black Kite co-founder and CTO Candan Bolukbas and Rock Lambros, Director of AI Standards and Governance at Zenity and a core team member of the OWASP GenAI Security Project, to cut through the headlines. They debate whether the latest warnings signal real danger or another cycle of panic. They also get into why the bigger threat may be the people using AI rather than the technology itself, and what defenders need to do now that attackers have already adapted. Then they bring it back to the question security leaders are facing: how do you manage AI risk across an ecosystem of partners and suppliers you can't fully control?

In this episode, you will learn:

Why today's AI doom headlines echo past panics like Three Mile Island and Y2K, and why banning AI could backfire
Why the bigger AI risk may be the humans using it rather than the technology itself
How AI has cut the time attackers need to turn a new patch into a working exploit from days to hours
What the AI sandbox breakout that hit Hugging Face teaches defenders about using AI to fight AI
Why free AI tools and API tokens can quietly expose your passwords, secrets, and source code
How to treat AI as a third-party and supply chain risk, starting with where your data goes

If you're trying to separate AI hype from real risk in your security program, this conversation is for you.
