Security expert Jonathan Baier joins Brittany Arthur to explore how business leaders can approach AI security strategically. Learn practical frameworks for implementing AI while protecting what matters most to your organization.


What You'll Learn

Reframe Security as Strategy

  • How security teams can accelerate AI initiatives rather than slow them down
  • The three types of AI security every executive must understand: of AI, from AI, and with AI
  • Moving from "we need AI" to identifying specific value-creating opportunities

Bridge the Gap Between Business and Security

  • Practical frameworks for non-technical leaders to have meaningful security conversations
  • Why 70% of AI success depends on people, not algorithms
  • How to ask the right questions when you don't have deep technical knowledge

Master the Innovation-Protection Balance

  • When to take calculated risks vs. when to proceed more cautiously
  • Real examples of companies navigating AI security decisions
  • Starting with business problems rather than AI solutions


Key Takeaways

Security becomes a competitive advantage when technology access is democratized

Your differentiators are data, process, and people—not the technology itself

Every business question becomes a security question at scale

Curiosity and mindful experimentation beat both paralysis and reckless confidence

Small companies need shared security understanding, not dedicated security officers


3 Power Quotes for Sound Bites

1. On AI's Limitations

"AI gives us what we ask for and not necessarily what we need."


2. On Taking the Right Approach

"You actually shouldn't start with AI. You should start with what is your problem that you're trying to solve?"


3. On Security Team Partnerships

"I think many security teams want to be helpful, but they've sort of gotten stereotyped as they're going to get in the way. And so they're not used to someone coming and saying, hey, let's work together and figure out how to do this. But I think they're very much excited to do that."
