AI security is not being talked about enough. At the AI + SF event with Axios, CEO Nikesh Arora joined Sam Sabin to highlight a growing gap in the AI Economy: Agents, models, and systems are being built far faster than they’re being secured. Key points from the conversation: ➡️ AI is expanding the attack surface with thousands of new digital identities ➡️ Most teams still don’t consider security early in development ➡️ Detection and remediation will define the next decade TL;DR: AI is making it faster to attack people. We need to use it to make it faster to defend people. That’s why we exist: to protect the systems powering the AI Economy. Were you there? Tell us what else stood out in the conversation.
Great takeaways. ➡️ AI is expanding the attack surface with thousands of new digital identities ➡️ Most teams still don’t consider security early in development ➡️ Detection and remediation will define the next decade About the last one, we need to add “Prevention” as the key. Detection is critical but Prevent mindset should really be the first step.
Lots of truth. Good development teams get excited when you meet with them about their security risk. Not a ton of friction but lots of collaboration and partnership
Completely agree — AI security isn’t getting even half the attention it deserves. The next decade will belong to organizations that can detect, respond, and learn at machine speed. Huge conversation, and absolutely the right time to elevate it. 👏
Great to see Palo Alto Networks leading off these talks. Excellent reminder from Nikesh that whether you're a startup or DeepMind, it's everybody's job to build with a security-first mindset. Also, fun to hear that Demis also tests Gemini on '90s Brad Pitt movies. I'm not alone!

You pointed out the elephant in the room, and you said it well.
🔝!
Yes not many AI startups are thinking about security, they are rushing into leveraging the open source models, without verifying the second order security hazards ... more hot takes on future jobs and AIaaS in the interview #maytheforcebewithyou
