How AI Is Fueling an Explosion of Digital Crime: Chris Olson

Aug-22-2024
Online crime is on the rise, and the criminals’ methods are getting more and more sophisticated. How do these predators target their prey? And what can be done to stop them?
“In certain experiences, up to 50 percent of what a consumer feels and sees and hears on the web is designed specifically for that individual to hear,” Olson says Chris Olson, founder and CEO of The Media Trust, a security platform that protects digital consumers and corporations from online threats.
“Cyber security as an industry is designed to protect the corporate or the government castle. And, in doing that, it leaves people out of the equation,” he says. “Cyber is an attack on a corporation, perhaps even an attack on an employee. Digital crime is an attack on grandmothers and children and all of us in our daily lives.”
In this episode, we discuss the role of artificial intelligence and targeted ads in internet crime, and what the governments digital priorities should be.
“Governments need to protect from digital crime like they do crime—a state, federal, local issue. And we have yet to see that come in,” says Olson.
