Artificial intelligence can write code, analyse data and simulate human reasoning. But what happens to security when machines start thinking alongside us?

In the first episode of The Black Hat Files, host Phillip Wylie sits down with Dr. Rumman Chowdhury, Founder & CEO of Humane Intelligence and one of the leading voices in responsible AI.

The conversation goes straight to the questions security leaders are now facing.

• How do you test systems that learn on their own?
• What does red teaming look like when the target is an AI model?
• And how do organisations stay accountable as AI moves from research labs into real-world deployment?

Drawing on her work leading global AI safety initiatives and adversarial testing programmes, Dr. Chowdhury breaks down how intelligent systems fail, how they can be manipulated and what defenders need to understand now.

From algorithmic bias to AI red teaming, this episode explores what it takes to secure systems in an era where machines are starting to make decisions.

Because in the age of intelligent machines, critical thinking is still the most powerful defence.
