Just got asked to be the featured speaker, nay cheerleader, at something called the "AI integration summit," which appears to be aimed at helping employees and management feel less threatened by AI. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.
"As a quick recap, the summit’s goal is to help business owners integrate AI responsibly and strategically. It will focus on topics like ethical AI, overcoming fear around AI adoption, and creating an AI-positive environment for employees. I think your expertise would bring great depth to these discussions, helping attendees see what’s possible with AI in today’s business landscape."

@briankrebs If there's a boom to the “AI boom” it's the booming AI seminar industry

I don't mind getting hired to scare people, because a) it's not very hard and b) it does drive home some very important points that don't get talked about enough. Like how most breaches start with social engineering of one form or another.
But I'm not interested in speaking about how great technology is, because it mostly sucks, and or the implementation of it is completely fumbled. And I'm deeply suspicious of any kind of effort to say that everything's just fine, no need to panic, etc. Fucking panic already.
E.g., the past couple of years have clearly shown that the code powering a ton of the endpoint security hardware out there today is complete cruft, meaning a significant share of the user base is constantly subject to zero-day attacks.
It's kind of like virtual currencies. If I thought for a minute that they were on balance doing more good than massive harm, I wouldn't mind saying so. I'd put current AI efforts in that bucket as well.

@briankrebs came here to vomit, I see people beat me to it

Here, let me fix that for you....
"As a quick recap, the summit’s goal is to coax business owners into welcoming AI willingly and blindly. It will focus on topics like ethical AI (
), overcoming fear around AI workforce decimation, and helping employees create a non-hostile environment for our new AI overlords."
