The headlines say AI is rewriting the malware playbook. The reality is a little more complicated.
AI-generated phishing is real. AI-assisted code is real. But “autonomous AI malware wrecking cybersecurity”? That’s a different conversation.
In this episode of Nerdy 30, we’re cutting through the noise with two people who live closest to the problem. Aaron Walton and Marcus Hutchins join Ben Baker to separate what’s actually happening in the threat landscape from what’s being inflated by vendors, researchers, and the occasional retracted MIT article.
