PODCAST: Qantas’ AI backlash, hacker goes on Aussie spree, and Proofpoint CEO Sumit Dhawan joins the pod

The pair kick off the podcast discussing Qantas facing a backlash over a series of job cuts that may be informed by the company embracing AI, while WiseTech’s announcement of 2,000 job cuts definitely is driven by AI uptake.

The pair also discuss the implications of an Australian man charged for selling cyber secrets to a broker linked to Russia.
