In this episode of the CTO show, Mehmet discusses two pressing topics in the tech world. The first topic focuses on the rapid growth of the dark web economy and the implications of this growth on cyber security. Mehmet also delves into the recent trend of tech layoffs and how it is being exploited by cybercriminals to attract talent to the dark web.

The second topic centers around the question of whether companies should have a Chief AI Officer, given the rapid advancements in AI and the growing market size in this industry.

Last Mehmet talks about AI-generated music, and shall we really be worried about AI or shall we see it as an opportunity.
