Summary
AI is changing cybersecurity—and it may be increasing the scale of digital threats beyond what banks, platforms, and institutions can manage. In this video, I break down how AI-driven attacks could expose vulnerabilities in financial systems, online accounts, and digital identity infrastructure. Based on real-world fraud experiences and insights from Foundation CEO Zach Herbert, we explore why traditional security models may be insufficient and what individuals can do to protect themselves.
