AI isn't taking over the world, but here's what you should worry about

In this Help Net Security video, Josh Meier, Senior Generative AI Author at Pluralsight, debunks the myth that AI could “escape” servers or act on its own. He explains how large language models actually work, why they can’t become sentient, and where the real risks lie: from misinformation and data leaks to phishing and malware.

Meier also highlights practical, safe ways AI can support cybersecurity professionals.
