What are the real AI threats

What are the real AI threats

Author: Punit Bhatia | Data Privacy, Sourcing & EU AI Act Specialist | ISO Standards August 20, 2026 Duration: 7:18

What are the real threats of AI and are we looking in the wrong direction?

In this episode, we cut through hype and science fiction to focus on the risks that are already here today. From large-scale misinformation and deepfakes to hidden bias in decision-making systems, AI is amplifying impact at a speed and scale we’ve never seen before.


We also explore why the biggest danger isn’t the technology itself but how it’s used. When AI systems lack transparency, when biased data goes unchecked, and when regulation struggles to keep up, the consequences can affect everything from hiring and healthcare to trust in institutions.


But this conversation goes beyond fear. It reframes from the debate: AI is like a powerful tool; its impact depends entirely on who uses it, how, and for what purpose.


👉 Tune in to the full episode to understand the real AI risks and how we can use this technology responsibly to create value without compromising trust.
