There’s a lethal trifecta of AI risks: access to private data, exposure to untrusted content, and external communication. In this conversation, Risky Business host Patrick Gray chats with Josh Devon, the co-founder of Sondera, about how to best address these risks. There is no magic solution to this problem. AI models mix code and data, are non-deterministic, and are crawling around all over your enterprise data and APIs as you read this. But in this sponsored interview, Josh outlines how we can start to wrap our hands around the problem. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes
