Selena XieGuestNikki WoodingHostYasminHostGiannis BanksHostHey,
Welcome to this episode of Neighborhood Security Guide.
First off, let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I've been working in tech for over 30 years right here in the city of Austin.
And for more than a decade of that, I focused on cybersecurity.
My daily job consists of keeping my organization safe from bad actors who want to do reputational harm to my company.
Most attacks aren't really about breaking computers.
They're about understanding people.
So to stop bad guys, we have to understand people even better than they do.
And that's exactly what we'll examine during the month of October.
which is cybersecurity awareness month over the next few weeks I'll show you how the bad guys think and where they look for openings for each topic I'll share simple tips for everyone in your house from the little ones to the grandparents because once you understand how scammers work staying safe online isn't about being a tech expert it's more about looking out for each other so I Ready to get started, neighbor? Let's go! Last week, we discussed tips on how to protect our families.
I hope you were able to pick a family safe word.
This week, let's discuss the new neighbor on the street, artificial intelligence.
You've probably already met AI in chatbots, on your phone, at work, or at school.
And it can be a very helpful neighbor indeed.
But, like with anyone new, it's good to get to know them a little before you share your secrets.
So first, be careful about what you tell AI tools.
Don't type in passwords, personal details, or private work information unless your workplace says it's okay.
I like to think of a public chatbot like a public park.
It's a nice place to visit, but you wouldn't read your bank statement out loud there.
If you use AI at work, ask what company rules are and which tools are approved.
A lot of information gets leaked simply because someone was trying to be helpful with the wrong tool.
Second, remember that AI can be wrong.
