In this episode…
Olivia Phillips explains why many organizations are approaching AI backwards by focusing on tools before understanding their own environments. She describes how Wolfbyte Technologies helps clients inventory assets, understand dependencies, and ensure foundations are stable before introducing AI. Without that groundwork, she warns that AI can amplify existing weaknesses rather than solve problems.
The conversation dives deeply into AI and cybersecurity, particularly the difference between self learning machine learning systems and large language models. Olivia outlines why self learning systems are better suited for threat detection, while LLMs introduce risks such as hallucinations and prompt injection. She emphasizes that AI should reduce analyst workload, not create more busy work or new attack paths.
As Vice President of the Global Council for Responsible AI USA Chapter, Olivia shares real world examples of AI misuse, including deepfakes targeting family members. She stresses that responsible AI means placing structure around how systems are built, accessed, and monitored. Throughout the episode, she reinforces that technology alone cannot solve trust issues and that verification, separation, and human awareness remain essential.
