Ep 25: 2025 Reflections & 2026 Predictions

In this episode of Masters of Data, we dissect 2025’s AI evolution, from generative hype to agentic reality—and the security nightmare that followed. We explore how bad actors weaponized AI for undetectable phishing and deepfakes, discuss the MCP standard enabling agent-to-agent communication (what could go wrong?), and worry about autonomous systems running wild without governance or security controls. Our 2026 forecast? Either we lock this down or face token burning attacks and corporate espionage at scale. We also tackle human accountability for AI output and why cybersecurity pros must protect vulnerable communities from AI-powered scams.
