Why Tech Refuses to Build Safe AI (And How to Force Them) | Security Boulevard Episode 53

We wouldn’t step foot in a skyscraper built without safety codes, so why does the tech industry expect us to trust guardrail-free AI? In this episode of the Security Boulevard Podcast, hosts Tom Hollingsworth, Fernando Montenegro, and Kate Scarcella unpack why Silicon Valley consistently prioritizes quarterly margins over human safety. Spurred by NVIDIA’s push for physical, hardware-level AI guardrails, the panel debates the economic externalities driving software vulnerabilities, the loss of baked-in hardware security, and why lessons from civil engineering, OSHA, and strict regulatory liability may be the only forces strong enough to make tech build systems that actually stand. This and more on the Security Boulevard Podcast, part of the Futurum Podcast Network and Futurum Media.
