• AI Safety with CEO of Good Ancestors Greg Sadler | part 1

  This week I invited myself over to Greg Sadler's place, the CEO of Good Ancestors, about AI safety. I brought sushi but I didn't have lunch so I ate most of it, and then I almost made him late for his next meeting. We specifically chat through AI capabilities, his work in policy, and building a not-profit. Greg is the kind of person who is so smart and cool that I feel like an absolute dummy interviewing him - so I know you're all going to like this episode. Stay tuned for part 2 where we dive into effective altruism and its intersection with AI!Check out Greg's work here: https://www.goodancestors.org.au/MIT AI Risk Repository: https://airisk.mit.edu/The Life You Can Save (book): https://www.thelifeyoucansave.org/book/80,000 hours: https://80000hours.org/Learn more about AI capability and impacts: https://bluedot.org/

• The United States AI Action Plan | will they win the AI race against China? 🤔

  Hi! 👋 In this episode, we’re diving into the US AI Action Plan — the White House’s new roadmap for how America plans to lead in AI.. and beat China.We’ll look at what’s inside the plan, what it really means for AI security and regulation, and whether it’s more of a policy promise… or a political one.📄 You can read the full plan here:https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Americas-AI-Action-Plan.pdfLet me know what you think — is this the kind of leadership AI needs, or a dangerous framing of AI capability?

• AI Security vs Application Security

  Welcome back! 👋After taking a little break to reset and redesign everything behind the scenes, I’m back — and consolidating all my content. This episode is part of both The AI Security Podcast (on Spotify and Apple Podcasts) and my YouTube channel, HarrietHacks — so whether you prefer to listen or watch, you’ll get the same great conversations (and bad jokes) across both platforms.From now on, I’ll be posting at least fortnightly (with the occasional bonus episode when something big happens… like when I announced the book!).I’ve been in a few conversations lately where people have tried to convince me that AI Security is just Application Security in disguise. Naturally, I disagree. 🤷‍♀️ So in this episode, we dive into AI Security vs Application Security — how they overlap, where they diverge, and why securing AI systems demands new thinking beyond traditional AppSec.💌 Sign up for the newsletter: http://eepurl.com/i7RgRM📘 Pre-order The AI Security Handbook: [link coming soon]🎥 Watch this episode and more on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HarrietHacks🔗 Useful LinksSQL Injection Examples (W3Schools): https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_injection.aspApplication Security Blog (Medium): https://medium.com/@pixelprecisionengineering1/application-security-appsec-in-cybersecurity-855ad9ce5e5eEcholeak Zero-Click Copilot Exploit (Dark Reading): https://www.darkreading.com/application-security/researchers-detail-zero-click-copilot-exploit-echoleakTraditional AppSec vs AI Security (Pillar Security): https://www.pillar.security/blog/traditional-appsec-vs-ai-security-addressing-modern-risks
