Is Generative AI moving too fast? From viral deepfake videos to powerful coding assistants, AI is reshaping our world at a breathtaking pace. But with this power comes immense risk: to our privacy, to intellectual property, and even to our ability to tell what's real. How do we navigate this complex new landscape responsibly?

In this episode, Allen sits down with Maggie Engler and Numa Dhamani, authors of "Intro to Gen AI, Second Edition" and veterans in the fields of cybersecurity and trust & safety. They pull back the curtain on how these powerful models are built, the societal impact they're having, and the urgent conversations we need to have about data governance, AI agents, and the looming digital trust crisis.
