Can AI be socially engineered? And what happens when bots start targeting other bots? In this third episode of Hackers & Humans, host Ross Lazerowitz talks with Dr. Matthew Canham, former FBI special agent and cognitive security researcher, about the new frontier of social engineering. They explore how attackers are leveraging deepfakes, voice AI, and LLMs to scale deception like never before, and why traditional detection methods are falling short. From machine psychology to AI-authored phishing campaigns, this conversation reveals how generative models are reshaping both offense and defense. Matthew also explains how defenders can fight back, using AI to anticipate attacks, support decision-making, and even lay traps for adversaries.
