As AI adoption accelerates, so do the risks that come with it. So what happens when AI puts cyberattack capabilities into everyone’s hands? In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller is joined by Theresa Payton to break down the new reality of AI-powered threats. Drawing on decades of experience as the first female White House CIO, CEO of Fortalice Solutions, and the author of four books on privacy and big data, Theresa explains why AI has fundamentally changed the rules of cybersecurity and why most organizations are still playing catch-up. From deepfakes and automated attacks to data poisoning and quantum disruption, Theresa makes the case that cybersecurity must evolve from a siloed function into an enterprise-wide mindset. Paul and Theresa offer insights into: - The rise of AI-driven cybercrime at speed and scale - Why data lifecycle and classification matter more than ever - The risks and rewards of autonomous and self-healing systems - The hidden dangers of vibe coding and unsecured AI adoption - Why trust is a measurable business asset For leaders navigating AI transformation, this episode is a wake-up call to focus on mitigating today’s risks before they become tomorrow’s breaches. *Want to know more about vibe-coding?*  Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnsXTVOj5qk *Stay in touch with Theresa:* Theresa Payton on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/theresapayton/ Theresa’s website: https://www.theresapayton.com/ Theresa’s books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Theresa-Payton/author/B007ECYE4K?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true 🔔 Like and subscribe to The AI Forecast, sponsored by Cloudera, to stay up to date on the latest episodes.
