Unexpected Bias & Distillation Attacks (feat. Paul Vann of Validia.ai)

Welcome back to The FAIK Files!

In this week's episode:

Paul Vann from Validia joins us to discuss how AI bias isn't just a social issue—it's a critical cybersecurity vulnerability.

We break down "distillation attacks" and how competing models are stealing the "thinking process" of frontier models like Claude and Gemini.

A look at the wild west of AI agent skills marketplaces, including indirect prompt injections hidden in image alt text.

We theorize on the future of AI architecture: are scaling laws breaking down, and what are "world models"?

The Security Risks of AI Bias:

Paul explains how bias manifests beyond politics (like human-in-the-loop and representation bias), serving as a direct attack vector.
