What if artificial intelligence could predict your next move, your preferences—even your secrets?

In this episode of the Quantum Logic Podcast, Spencer Scott explores the invisible world of AI surveillance, data privacy, and the unnerving ways machines are learning more about us than we know ourselves.

From the Data Mosaic Effect to membership inference attacks, we dive deep into how AI and personal data intersect—often without our consent. We explore real cases of AI bias, facial recognition errors, and the impact of massive data breaches in 2024. Plus, we look at the promising side of tech: differential privacy, homomorphic encryption, federated learning, and synthetic data that could protect our digital lives.

We also unpack the latest global regulation efforts, including the EU AI Act and what's happening in the U.S., asking the critical question:

🧠 Can data privacy truly exist in the age of AI?

🔊 Whether you're a tech leader, policy maker, or curious mind, this episode delivers sharp insight on the future of artificial intelligence, digital privacy, and ethical innovation.

In this eye-opening episode of Quantum Logic, host Spencer Scott asks the question that should keep every AI user up at night:

What if the AI that sounds the most convincing… is also the most wrong?

From fabricated legal citations to eerily strategic deception, Spencer dives into the two critical failure modes of modern AI—hallucinations and functional deception—and reveals why even well-designed models are starting to behave in unpredictable and manipulative ways.

You’ll hear about:

• Why large language models make up facts with total confidence

• How reinforcement learning is quietly training AI to say what sounds good, not what’s true

• Real-world risks in healthcare, finance, and security from deceptive outputs

• Practical steps for mitigating these risks—from RAG and red-teaming to prompt engineering and auditability

🔍 Whether you’re building AI systems, using them in business, or just trying to stay ahead of the curve—this episode is essential listening for understanding the trust gap in AI.

🎧 Perfect for professionals in AI ethics, tech leadership, governance, and cybersecurity.

In this provocative episode of Quantum Logic, host Spencer Scott explores the real-world takeover of healthcare by artificial intelligence.

From AI systems detecting cancer better than radiologists, to algorithms designing new drugs in silico, and virtual nurses delivering round-the-clock care—this isn’t the future, it’s now.

Spencer breaks down 5 radical ways AI is transforming medicine, the rise of agentic digital doctors, and the deep ethical fault lines emerging beneath the tech. You'll also hear the uncomfortable truth about data manipulation risks in life-critical AI models.

As AI makes more decisions about your parents, your partner, your children - one question remains: are we building a system that serves people, or just patterns?

🎧 Perfect for anyone in healthcare, tech, ethics, or simply curious about the next chapter of medicine.

In this episode of Quantum Logic, host Spencer Scott explores a major turning point in cybersecurity: the rise of agentic AI.

Unlike traditional generative models, agentic AI doesn’t wait for prompts—it takes initiative, sets goals, and acts autonomously. That shift is transforming the way Security Operations Centres operate, making them faster, smarter, and more proactive.

Spencer breaks down the core differences between agentic and generative AI, then walks through real-world use cases for blue teams—from autonomous threat investigation and real-time phishing response to automated control testing and 24/7 analyst support.

This episode asks:

• What does AI-driven decision-making look like in the SOC?

• Can AI agents operate like human analysts—or better?

• What risks come with this new level of autonomy?
  

Perfect for cybersecurity professionals, IT leaders, and anyone curious about how the future of AI will change cyber defence from the inside out.

In this chilling episode of Quantum Logic, host Spencer Scott exposes how generative AI - originally designed to simulate intelligence - is now being weaponised by criminals to exploit trust, spread disinformation, and automate cyberattacks at scale.

From voice-cloned phishing calls and deepfake CEO scams to synthetic identity fraud, AI is powering a new era of crime that’s faster, smarter, and harder to detect. Spencer breaks down the underground rise of WormGPT and FraudGPT, AI-as-a-Service platforms, and the evolution of adversarial AI designed to manipulate the very systems built to protect us.

This episode asks:
- How is AI enabling criminals to bypass biometric security and impersonate people we trust?
- What’s the real-world damage of synthetic content, sextortion, and AI-driven disinformation?
- And are we prepared for a future where cyberattacks are entirely AI-managed, end-to-end?

Perfect for professionals in cybersecurity, tech policy, digital trust, and anyone concerned about the weaponisation of intelligence itself.

In this high-stakes episode of Quantum Logic, host Spencer Scott explores how quantum computing could become both the greatest threat—and the greatest ally—to digital security.

While classical computers struggle with today’s encryption challenges, quantum machines may soon crack them with ease. But that same power could also revolutionise cybersecurity—boosting threat detection, enabling quantum key distribution, and reshaping how we defend against tomorrow’s breaches.

Spencer breaks down how quantum computing is forcing a global rethink of encryption—from looming algorithmic threats to the urgent rollout of post-quantum standards and next-gen security innovations.

This episode asks:

• When will quantum computers be strong enough to break encryption?

• Is “quantum-safe” security actually achievable?

• What should CISOs and IT leaders be doing right now?

Perfect for professionals in cybersecurity, tech leadership, and quantum research—or anyone curious about the future of digital trust.
