Description

Is AI turning our brains to mush? Hosts Phoebe Goh and Mekka Williams are joined by Karissa “KB” Breen, the sharp-tongued cybersecurity journalist behind the popular podcast, KBKast, for a no-holds-barred look at how AI is rewriting the rules of the game. 


From the sneaky rise of unsanctioned “shadow AI” tools to the unnervingly convincing world of deepfakes, KB doesn’t shy away from calling out the dangers this tech brings to the table. Are we trading critical thinking for convenience? Losing control over data in the name of innovation? The risks are very real. 


But it’s not all doom and gloom. KB fires back with the flip side of AI’s story, sharing how it’s supercharging threat detection and giving security teams the power to translate technical nightmares into executive decisions—with clarity and impact. 


If you’re in the business of keeping data safe, leading the AI charge, or just want to know how far the rabbit hole goes, this episode delivers the raw, unfiltered truth you need to hear. 


🎧 Hit play now for an edgy, eye-opening take on the future of cybersecurity. And don’t forget to follow, because this conversation is only the beginning.
