How hackers are using AI and how to protect yourself | BBC News

As companies, governments and organisations race to harness artificial intelligence they are increasingly adopting a new generation of tools - the AI agents.

Software systems can be trained to carry out tasks on our behalf, often autonomously, and could transform how we work, how we search, what we create - even how we defend ourselves. But with every technological leap forward comes new challenges.

In this episode, AI Decoded speaks to ethical-hacker and agentic AI security expert Max Corbridge and AI safety guru Connor Leahy. They discuss how these powerful tools could become weapons in the hands of hackers and what measures we can take to defend ourselves and our businesses.

Joining presenter Christian Fraser is AI Decoded co-host Priya Lakhani, CEO of Century Tech.
