Shane Hewitt and music correspondent Eric Alper dive into the explosive rise of AI in music, spotlighting Velvet Sundown—a fully AI-generated rock band with millions of streams. With the help of producer Tony, Alper demonstrates how easily AI can create music by generating a theme song for Hewitt's show using an AI music generator. They then debate the implications of AI-created music, from authenticity concerns and Grammy disqualifications to the possibility of AI artists gaining mainstream representation.

In this eye-opening interview, Shane Hewitt is joined by tech analyst Carmi Levy to unpack a troubling new trend in cybersecurity: AI tools falling for phishing scams. Drawing from a recent report by digital security firm Netcraft, the duo explores how cybercriminals are adapting classic SEO poisoning and man-in-the-middle tactics to exploit large language models. Carmi questions the logic behind using AI to locate login pages—given its known fallibility—and warns that convenience is luring users into dangerous territory. As AI becomes more integrated into our digital lives, the risks are multiplying. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone navigating the intersection of AI and online safety.
