AI chatbot or the start of Skynet? Eufy privacy, and hot desks

AI chatbot or the start of Skynet? Eufy privacy, and hot desks

An AI chatbot is causing a stir - both impressing and terrifying users in equal measure. A security researcher discovers that a "smart" cam that doesn't use the internet is err.. using the internet. And university students revolt over under-the-belt surveillance.

All this and much much more is discussed in the latest edition of the "Smashing Security" podcast by computer security veterans Graham Cluley and Carole Theriault, joined this week by Host Unknown's Thom Langford.

Warning: This podcast may contain nuts, adult themes, and rude language.
