How will AI impact the next generation of people working with computer science?
This question is probably relevant for anyone making their way through school now, in all fields of study. Without looking for a definite answer, but to help him navigate this question, Robby has invited two people with quite different backgrounds: Richard Stiennon, author of Security Yearbook 2023 and Founder and Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, and High School Junior, Athena Contos.
Athena was recently visiting colleges, together with her father Brian Contos, a long-time veteran of the mnemonic security podcast. They both noticed a lot of excitement and concern regarding AI amongst those about to embark on their higher education, and questions about how AI will impact their choices of schools, majors, careers, and ultimately their future.
In this episode, Athena and Richard share their perspectives on AI’s potential in education, the ethics of using AI in this context, and how we can go from combating the use of AI in the classroom to making it a useful tool for learning.

Ethical social engineering
Even the best pentesters out there can be fooled by a social engineering attempt under the right circumstances. But how do we treat the ones that have been tested and failed?
Ragnhild «Bridget» Sageng, Senior Security Advisor at Norwegian Customs, has several years of experience from the IT and cybersecurity industry, and hands-on experience working as an ethical hacker specialising in social engineering.
In her conversation with Robby, she shares what goes through her head during social engineering assignments, and discusses the importance of company culture and management expectations when doing these kinds of assessments.
Ragnhild is particularity interested in the other side social engineering and how we should meet the humans that are involved in these assignments. During this episode she explores what ethical responsibilities we have, what a pentester should demand from a company before accepting an assignment, and what a company should demand back from a pentester.
