Olivia Heslinga, founder of AI for Good Denmark and AI literacy consultant, joins SquareX Field CISO John Carse to discuss the (security) implications of AI's rapid evolution. They dive into how browser AI agents can compromise your entire digital life with just basic permissions, why third-party AI tools are essentially viruses infiltrating organizations, and the alarming cognitive debt we're accumulating by outsourcing our thinking to AI.
