Thinking in the Age of Intelligent Systems with Dr. Rumman Chowdhury

The Black Hat Files is a new podcast series unpacking the ideas, threats and technologies shaping cybersecurity today.

Each episode brings you into the conversations shaping how systems are tested, defended and built.

In the first episode, host Phillip Wylie sits down with Dr. Rumman Chowdhury, Founder & CEO of Humane Intelligence and a leading voice in responsible AI.

This episode focuses on one of the biggest shifts facing the industry right now: AI.

• How do you test systems that learn on their own?
• What does red teaming look like when the target is an AI model?
• And how do organisations stay accountable as AI moves into real-world deployment?

Drawing on her work in AI safety and adversarial testing, Dr. Chowdhury breaks down how intelligent systems fail, how they can be manipulated, and what defenders need to understand now.

Because in the age of intelligent machines, critical thinking is still the most powerful defence.
