I took a class from Alex as an undergrad, and he gave us career advice that stuck with me: “Don’t be the plumbing at a company, your work should be part of the main business.” Clearly this is now the case for everyone who sells AI wrt security.
There are real safety and security issues raised by AI, but they can be fixed. It's time to get to work instead of freaking out. That's why I'm joining Cognition as CISO.
