In this episode of The Influencers, host Leo von Gerlach sits down with Hogan Lovells partners Joke Bodewits and Paul Otto to explore how AI is reshaping the cyber-attack landscape—strengthening defensive tools while also enabling more convincing phishing, deepfakes, and other sophisticated attacks.
