Hack to the Future with Adam Gluck and Soham Mehta

Tim Hwang and Rachel Reses are joined by Copia Automation CEO Adam Gluck and FAI Research Fellow Soham Mehta to reflect on recent cybersecurity threats. We cover: how much the OpenAI-HuggingFace incident and Iranian wastewater attacks relied on advanced offensive hacking capabilities versus an underdeveloped “defense,” why cyber is the most obvious attack vector for a rogue AI, what holds critical infrastructure systems back from reducing their vulnerability to cyberattacks, and how the tax code can incentivize investment in securing operational tech.
