About the Podcast

Yippee Ki-AI !
How is AI being used, and what are the consequences for risk, security, privacy and operations?
Yippee Ki-AI! – The Podcast for AI Adventurers, Skeptics, and Worriers Among Us!

Welcome to Yippee Ki-AI, sponsored by Singulr AI, the podcast that cuts through the hype and dives deep into the real-world impacts of artificial intelligence. Hosted by Richard Bird, a cybersecurity veteran and globally recognized security expert, this show isn’t about how to build AI - it’s about how AI is shaping our world, our businesses, and our lives, and what steps we need to take to ensure security, privacy, and effectively operationalize AI.

Every week, we break down the latest AI news, revealing how each new feature, agent, or service changes the game for organizations – from financial shocks to legal landmines, from cybersecurity headaches to operational resilience. We tackle the questions that most AI discussions avoid:

- What happens when an AI agent goes rogue on your balance sheet?

- How does a new AI feature shake up your legal risk profile?

- Are your partners and contractors quietly introducing AI chaos into your supply chain?

- Can your business withstand the relentless march of algorithmic decision-making?

In this unapologetically blunt and deeply practical podcast, we expose AI's strengths, weaknesses, and downright ugly aspects, pulling no punches as we uncover the hidden risks and unexpected rewards of our AI-powered future.

If you’re a business leader, risk manager, or someone who refuses to be blindsided by the next AI revolution, Yippee Ki-AI! is your no-nonsense guide to staying one step ahead. And if you need to get your lassos around AI security and governance, make sure to visit www.singulr.ai!
