Alexander Schlager, CEO of Aiceberg.ai, discusses the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity, emphasizing the importance of securing AI-powered workflows. Aiceberg employs traditional machine learning techniques to safeguard generative AI systems, providing a deterministic and explainable approach to security. This method allows organizations to understand how their AI systems operate and ensures that they can trace and audit the decisions made by these systems, which is crucial in an era where AI incidents may lead to legal challenges.

The conversation highlights the need for organizations to establish robust governance frameworks as they adopt AI technologies. Schlager points out that many businesses are still grappling with basic cybersecurity measures, which complicates their ability to implement effective AI governance. He stresses that organizations must assess their existing security postures and ensure that they are prepared for the rapid deployment of agentic AI, which allows non-technical users to create and manage AI workflows independently.

Schlager provides concrete examples of how Aiceberg's technology is integrated into real-world applications, such as in the banking sector, where AI workflows may involve third-party interactions. He explains that Aiceberg monitors these interactions to classify and respond to potential security threats, ensuring that organizations can demonstrate compliance and safety in the event of an incident. This proactive approach to security is essential for maintaining trust and accountability in AI systems.

Finally, the discussion touches on the broader implications of AI adoption, including the potential for improved customer experiences across various industries. Schlager notes that while AI can enhance service delivery, organizations must navigate the challenges of user expectations and the maturity of their AI implementations. By focusing on customer service and experience, companies can unlock significant value from their AI investments, but they must also prioritize security and governance to mitigate risks.
