In this episode of the Earley AI Podcast we are joined by guest Yuri Dvoinos, the Chief Innovation Officer at Aura, a leading cybersecurity company based in Boston. With an extensive background in information security, AI applications, and data privacy, Yuri brings a wealth of knowledge on how to protect personal information in the digital age.

Yuri joins our hosts, Seth Earley and Chris Featherstone, as he explains the intricacies of data privacy, the adverse effects of phone scams, and the critical role of AI in detecting and thwarting sophisticated fraud attempts, including deepfakes and phishing scams.

Key takeaways:

• The Importance of Understanding Your Digital Footprint. Learn how your online activities impact your privacy and what steps you can take to protect yourself.
• Identity Protection and the Impact of Scams. Delve into the psychological toll of phone scams, particularly on seniors, and how to safeguard against such threats.
• The Role of AI in Scam Detection. Understand how AI can detect psychological pressure and scam tactics in real-time, and the challenges in distinguishing AI-generated chats from real conversations.
• The Rise of Deepfakes. Explore the dangers of deepfakes in voice and video manipulation, and the need for heightened vigilance.

Quote from the show:

"Understanding one's digital footprint and protecting personal information online is no longer optional—it's essential. The rise of deepfakes and sophisticated scam tactics means that we need to be more critical and skeptical of the information we encounter. Leveraging AI to detect psychological pressure and scam tactics in real time can help us stay one step ahead, but ultimately, it starts with heightened awareness and constant vigilance." - Yuri Dvoinos
