Ex-Google indie researcher analyzes AI code security gaps

Recent research by an independent AI safety and security research lab, TheWeatherReport.ai, by MIT research affiliate and former Google senior manager of cloud AI safety and security, showed that AI code security gains are not keeping pace with functionality gains between generations of frontier models. He talks through the implications of these findings, how IT organizations can protect themselves, and his outlook for how AI safety and security will continue to develop.

Featuring: Ilya Kabanov, founder, TheWeatherReport.ai

In today’s episode, we’ll cover…

• What surprised Kabanov about changes in AI code security
• The pros and cons of prompts, deterministic rules and "human-in-the-loop" for AI code security
• AI safety and security in the wake of the OpenAI / Hugging Face incident

And more!
