The AI Security Podcast

Alberto Chierici, a physicist-turned-data scientist and author, dives into his remarkable journey through AI and ethics. He examines the balance between human intuition and machine learning, especially in insurance. Alberto discusses the ethical implications of AI technologies, advocating for integrated approaches in engineering. He also explores the evolving tech landscape in Australia and the potential of AI to enhance productivity and well-being. With anecdotes and insights, he paints a hopeful picture for the future of AI.

We talk about Stanford Human-Centred AI's latest AI Index report, check it out here: https://hai.stanford.edu/ai-index/2025-ai-index-report

Did you know we have a fortnightly threat intel newsletter? We decided there was so much good research in there we have to talk about it here! We're joined by threat intel lead Miranda for this fortnight's biggest AI security news, coming out in this week's digest! http://eepurl.com/i7RgRM

My friend Shain joins me on the podcast to talk about his work with the OWASP MLSec Top 10 list and organisational guidance, as well as how he got here!For info about the list and how to contribute, check out the link: https://owasp.org/www-project-machine-learning-security-top-10/ 

This week we talk about AI red teaming.. I can't quite believe we haven't talked about it already! We cover the origins of red teaming in the military, how red teaming is done in cyber security, and the fundamentals of AI red teaming. Resources:https://academy.hackthebox.com/course/preview/introduction-to-red-teaming-aihttps://tryhackme.com/path/outline/redteaming

I didn't manage to get my act into gear to record a fresh episode between getting back from the UK and heading to New Zealand so I've pulled one from the vault.. it's a good one though! A year ago I was interviewed by Microsoft for their AI security series. Massive thanks to Microsoft for having me and Sarah Young for excellent interviewing. Check out the rest of the series, they have some really cool people on. This is also a good episode for anyone new to AI security, it covers most of the bases.Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPQaJVnBSRQ&pp=ygUYaGFycmlldCBmYXJsb3cgbWljcm9zb2Z0

I didn't want to do a solo episode so instead I enlist free content support by speaking to the vendors at AI UK, run by the Alan Turing Institute, in London! Thanks very much to those people, links below here:Datambit: https://datambit.com/RAISE: https://raise-project.uk/Contact us at contact@mileva.com.au

We're in Manchester but we can't talk about it much.. so instead we reflect on some of the latest digest incidents (and how we wish the hot tub in our airbnb had water in it).Sign up to the digest here: http://eepurl.com/i7RgRM

In this episode we discuss the AI lifecycle.. we talk through important machine learning stages (training, inference etc), how they apply at the systems levels (agentic systems, APIs etc) and and example in context (facial recognition at airports but please forgive us we are not airport experts).We refer to useful content from MITRE's resources: https://atlas.mitre.org/resources/ai-security-101Feel free to compliment us at contact@mileva.com.au.

In this episode I interview James Webb, host of the Cyber Expanse. We discuss careers at the intersection of AI and cyber security, how to get into the security workforce, and what it's like being 'influencers' (content creators) in the security space.This episode also has a video equivalent at Harriet Hacks on YouTube, and will have a companion episode on James' YouTube channel as well.
