Barclay Damon Live: Cyber Sip—"The Boom of Generative AI in 2024—Breaking Down New Security Trends," With Siwei Lyu

From Barclay Damon’s new podcast studio, Kevin welcomes back University at Buffalo Professor Siwei Lyu. To start this fast-moving conversation, Siwei notes that what sets generative AI apart from analytical AI is that generative AI focuses on creating content rather than just answering questions or sorting through data, and he sheds light on what seemed to be the technology’s “sudden appearance.” Siwei and Kevin also discuss the introduction of ChatGPT, current and future applications of generative AI, and concerns about generative AI’s misuse. Throughout the talk, Siwei emphasizes the importance of responsible use and the need for safeguards.
