Episode notes

AI is no longer just writing code or generating images—it’s shaping how we think.

In this episode, we sit down with AI researcher, professor, and investor Michal Pechoucek to explore how artificial intelligence is shifting from targeting systems to targeting human cognition. Michal outlines four emerging threats that are redefining AI security and explains why deepfakes, behavioral data, and black-box models are putting trust itself at risk.

We also discuss the growing gap between AI innovation and AI safety, how China is approaching behavioral data, and what this shift means for founders, defenders, and the future of digital trust.

Hosted by Jon McLachlan and Sasha Sinkevich — co-founders of YSecurity.
