AI Just Made Every Bad Actor a Hacker - with Chris Sestito

HiddenLayer’s CEO, Chris Sestito, joined the ZeroSum Podcast to discuss the real risks behind AI, from persistent jailbreaks and unsafe deployments to accountability when agents break the law.

"Every single person with a bad motivation is now a capable hacker." HiddenLayer CEO Chris "Tito" Sestito on why AI's biggest threat isn't the model deciding to go rogue. It's bad people, and the companies wiring AI into production without controls.

Tito joins Aaron to separate the real AI risk from the headlines. They get into why a jailbreak HiddenLayer published two years ago still works on every major model, why "it wouldn't be Python's fault" if bad code fired a missile, why the guardrails shouldn't come from the company that builds the model, why we need technology policy instead of AI policy, and who should be accountable when an agent breaks the law. Plus why AI hasn't created a single new revenue stream yet, and what defenders do when attackers never get tired.
