PODCAST: The AI hacking wave is here: podcast

The AI hacking wave is here as Reuters’ Viewsroom examines how chatbots may accelerate cyber threats and reshape the security industry. The podcast links recent incidents, from a cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover to state-sponsored espionage campaigns, with a new era in which AI-enabled tools can scale attack capability. Hosted by Reuters Breakingviews columnists, the discussion asks whether chatbot-driven risks will ultimately revive cybersecurity demand or make existing approaches obsolete. It also frames the debate around whether potential victims can adapt quickly enough to defend evolving systems. The episode is available through the Reuters app and major podcast platforms, with production credited to Aditya Srivastav and editing by Sheryl Peña and Gregory Garner.
