Curiouser & Curiouser

Curiouser & Curiouser

Curiouser & Curiouser is a podcast for leaders, builders, and curious minds navigating AI, GenAI safety, and governance in a rapidly changing world. Produced by Alice, the enterprise trust, safety, and security platform for the AI era, the show draws on frontline adversarial intelligence to explore how AI systems are stress-tested, red-teamed, governed, and protected across their lifecycle. Each episode looks at how AI is actually showing up in the real world, how organizations evaluate it, where it breaks, and what it takes to build systems people can trust. We cut through hype and fear to explore how AI shapes trust, decision-making, and real-world work, one rabbit hole at a time.

What if the person whose entire job is risk was the most excited one in the room about AI?

That's Mea Clift. While most CISOs are bracing for what could go wrong, she's leaning in, she calls it being "risk excited," and it flips the whole conversation. She and Mo get into saying yes to AI without letting risk run away from you, how she handles shadow AI without punishing people for being curious, and how she somehow ends up teaching...

Your doctor's office knows more about you than almost anyone. So what happens when AI gets its hands on all of it?

That's Sandy Dunn's whole job as a healthcare CISO, and her answer is calmer than you'd expect, because the threats aren't new, it's the speed and the blast radius that changed. Which is where she and Mo pick it up, getting into HIPAA as a checkbox that protects no one, why synthetic data beats guarding data you never n...

Some guests have seen the field from one seat. Phil Venables has seen it from most of them: CISO at Goldman Sachs, the first CISO for Google Cloud, and now a partner at Ballistic Ventures. So when he says what's worth paying attention to in AI security, it's worth a listen. We get into why he's more worried about attackers scaling up than about the flood of new vulnerabilities, what changes when the actor in your environment is an ...

David Wendt spent 30 years building models for Fortune 100 companies before stepping away from the keyboard entirely to focus on AI governance. He also happens to be a Dungeon Master, and it turns out those two things have more in common than you'd think.
