Hey, Andrea, always great to be with you. Happy New Year.

At the most basic level, Andrea, think of it as technology that allows computers to do the kinds of tasks that would normally require us to tell them and require some sort of human intervention and decision-making. Now the computers can do some of this on their own. And then they can predict what they're supposed to do next.

And that's considered learning, which is where the intelligence part comes in. AI is used all the time in things that we take for granted, like when your phone unlocks using your face or when you're sending an email and that predictive texting comes up saying, is this how you want to finish your sentence? That's all AI.

That's all AI.

And of course, as you mentioned, there's really sophisticated types of AI, like what we saw with the chatbot, where You're entering in conversational language, and it seems like this computer is responding to you in a human way.

Really, all it's doing is using all of the information and data that's been put into it from previous human conversations and predicting that this is the response that will make the most sense to you.

I was just talking to the cybersecurity experts at Human Security about the holidays, where a lot of online shopping sites pop up that are totally bogus. They're just designed to tell you this is where you can get the hottest item at the lowest price, hoping that that's going to be enough bait for you to enter in your credit card or your banking information.

Well, back in the day, Andrea, humans had to make those websites. Now, bots and AI-powered computers can create those websites very quickly. They can also send out phishing and smishing messages. That's when you get an email or a text sent to your phone saying, hey, there's been a problem with your package delivery, or hey, this is the government. We need you to check on your taxes.

a lot of that content is now being generated by AI, which makes it that much easier for the bad guys to pump out that bad information.

Because the deep fake technology is becoming so good, but it's basically referring to a type of artificial intelligence that generates audio, images, and now even videos that make it appear that someone is doing something or saying something that they aren't. We've seen this used in some of the most disgusting and creepy ways from generating nude images, celebrity images to endorse products.

People have to be very careful when they're on social media. Is this something that this celebrity would actually be doing? And also be on the lookout for deep fakes when it comes to law enforcement or people impersonating government officials.

So a lot of times these deepfakes are spread on social media like Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook. When it comes to these deepfakes with video, face swapping is a very common way this is done. So if you're carefully looking at the video and you think, gosh, this face is too perfect and this message...
