As generative AI systems become more powerful, they also become more susceptible to attack. Ian explains how vulnerabilities like jailbreaks, backdoors, and model censorship can be exploited—and what developers and enterprises can do to defend against them. He also shares insights into how AI security testing is evolving, why transparency in model training matters, and what lessons companies can take from past security breaches to safeguard the next wave of AI applications.
