Today, I’m joined by Amol Deshpande, a seasoned security engineer currently at Stripe, where he focuses on building secure systems at massive scale. With a background spanning product security and penetration testing at companies like Salesforce, Splunk, and Early Warning, Amol brings deep hands-on experience in securing complex, real-world platforms.

He’s also been a HackMIT judge and a long-time CTF competitor at DEF CON, giving him a very practical view of modern security challenges.

In this episode, we cover whether security must now belong in every AI strategy meeting, and how to embed it into AI development from the outset.

We also touch on how privacy concerns will only grow as agents are trained on sensitive data and why human oversight is essential for critical AI operations.
