    Part 1: AI, Marketing, and Cutting Through the Noise with Yael Macias

    AI didn’t just change marketing. It collapsed timelines, raised the bar, and made hype easier than clarity. In this episode of Promptcast, host Itamar Golan sits down with Yael Macias, Head of Marketing at Prompt Security, to unpack how AI actually reshaped modern marketing teams. From the early days of experimenting with ChatGPT to today’s reality of AI-washed messaging, inflated claims, and audience skepticism, Yael shares a grounded, operator’s view on what works and what absolutely doesn’t. They cover how AI accelerated content production without replacing human judgment, why “AI-powered” messaging often backfires, and how marketers can use AI responsibly without losing voice, credibility, or trust. This is a candid conversation about speed versus substance, automation versus authenticity, and why outcomes matter more than buzzwords. Learn more at: https://prompt.security/

    Part 2: Data Over Algorithms - Guy Fighel on Observability, Micro-Guardrails, and the New Realities of AI Engineering

    In this episode, Itamar and Guy Fighel go deeper into the realities of building and maintaining AI systems at scale. Guy explains why data quality still outperforms clever algorithms and why reliability, trust, and observability are becoming the real bottlenecks in modern AI engineering. The conversation challenges the idea that AI failures are mysterious. Guy breaks down how classic observability practices still matter and where a new layer is required, including dynamic monitoring, real-time feedback loops, and the idea of micro guardrails that guide agent behavior without blocking innovation. He also discusses how AI is reshaping team structure and velocity. The future, in his view, belongs to smaller and stronger engineering groups with far better tooling and far higher expectations for iteration speed.

    Part 1: The Making of Modern AI - Guy Fighel on Systems, Scale, and the Investor POV

    In this episode, Itamar sits down with Guy Fighel, a longtime operator, technical founder, and now partner at Hetz Ventures, to unpack the real forces that shaped today’s AI landscape. Guy walks through two decades of data engineering, distributed systems, and the inflection points that changed everything. Hadoop, cloud economics, spot instances, and eventually transformers all shifted what builders could achieve and how fast they could move. He also brings a rare dual perspective. As both an investor and former CTO, Guy explains why execution still separates companies that ship from companies that stall. He breaks down why understanding budgets, engineering velocity, and technical reality matters more than ever in a world filled with talk about intelligent software. This is a grounded look at how AI evolved from slow and brittle experimentation into an environment where iteration, scale, and system design decide what is possible.

    Matt Smyth from CPI Security on Everyday Tech Risks and How AI’s Changing Security

    Cybersecurity isn’t just a corporate issue anymore; it’s personal. From smart homes to connected cars to the devices we carry everywhere, digital risks are woven into daily life. And with AI reshaping the security landscape, the line between digital and physical threats has never been thinner. While the headlines focus on big breaches, the real dangers often hide in plain sight: overlooked vulnerabilities in consumer tech, quiet privacy erosion, and systems designed for convenience over safety. At the same time, AI is both the hero and the wild card, powering faster defenses while creating new ethical and security dilemmas. In this episode, Itamar talks with Matt Smyth, cybersecurity leader at CPI Security, about the evolving meaning of “secure” in an AI-driven world. Together they explore the hidden risks inside everyday technology, the future of AI-enabled defense, and how to stay protected in a world where everything (and everyone) is connected.

    From AI Experiments to Enterprise Reality: Trace3 CTO Tony Olzak on Security and Scale

    AI is no longer a side project; it’s at the heart of how modern enterprises operate, innovate, and compete. But as AI moves from experiments to production, the real challenges start to surface: complex infrastructure, data strategy gaps, and a growing need for trust that goes deeper than marketing buzzwords. Supporting AI at scale isn’t just about model selection. It means rebuilding systems, rethinking governance, and securing every layer of the enterprise. Yet many organizations are still trying to bolt AI onto legacy architectures and hoping for the best. In this episode, Itamar sits down with Tony Olzak, CTO of Trace3, to unpack what it truly takes to make enterprise AI work in the real world. They discuss the architectural shifts driving AI adoption, the common mistakes companies keep repeating, and how to build trust that actually holds up when AI becomes business-critical.

    Bonus Episode: Itamar reviews his 2024 predictions for AI & Security. What did he get right?

    Predicting the future is impossible. We know it, and we knew it as well when Itamar put together his predictions for 2024 in AI & Security. But, with the right dose of cynicism, it's a fun exercise to do. And, we're keeping ourselves honest >> these were the hits and misses of what we thought the space would look like in 2024... Don't miss out our predictions for 2025. We might have emboldened ourselves a bit after getting a decent ratio of hits vs. misses... https://www.prompt.security/blog/prompt-security-ai-security-predictions-for-2025
