Aaron Portnoy's team at Mindgard has tested AI systems across every major industry. Their track record: 100% vulnerability rate. Every system. Every guardrail bypassed.
In this episode of WakeUpX, Aaron makes a bold prediction — a major, high-profile AI application will be publicly breached this year. The industry hasn't had its wake-up call yet. But it's coming.
He also breaks down why healthcare is the sector most vulnerable to real human-level harm from AI security failures. His team has already uncovered vulnerabilities in clinical AI tools, including an application authorized to prescribe medications in the state of Utah.
We cover:
The 100% AI vulnerability rate his team has found across all tested systems
Why no guardrail has held up under testing
His breach prediction for 2025
Why healthcare AI carries a completely different level of risk
Real-world clinical AI vulnerabilities already discovered by Mindgard
