As Apple quietly pivots from AI to UI, and a lawsuit from Reddit challenges the do no harm credentials of ethical AI developer Anthropic, Rich Bradbury and Matt Armitage are left wondering if words mean anything anymore? 



As the machines get more complex, it becomes ever more important to understand that when the tech industry talks about emotional intelligence and understanding, they don’t mean it in a human sense. 



And if you can have emotional intelligence in a non-human sense, what on earth is it?

MSP327. AI And The Cost Of Ignorance

They promise to check your grammar and boost your productivity, but are your browser extensions a hidden backdoor for data theft? A recent wave of attacks saw even popular, verified extensions on Chrome and Edge compromised, turning trusted tools into surveillance weapons that can monitor your activity and steal your data.



Cybersecurity expert CF Fong, Executive Chairman of LGMS Berhad, joins us to break down this underestimated threat. He explains why we must stop seeing extensions as harmless add-ons and treat them as "full-blown software" that require a "zero trust" approach.



We discuss:




Why browser extensions should be treated with the same caution as any software.


The "zero trust" principle: if it's not essential, don't install it.


Why even small businesses are targets for automated, large-scale cyber attacks.


Key preventative measures businesses can take beyond just technology.


How to spot suspicious permission requests before you click "okay."



For business owners, IT managers, and everyday users, this is an essential guide to understanding and mitigating a commonly overlooked cybersecurity risk.

Broken Browsers: Is Your Extension Secretly Spying on You?

Malaysia’s fintech scene is booming on the surface, but underneath, many startups are still stuck at the MVP stage, blocked by legacy systems, fragmented infrastructure, and regulatory red tape. Despite the KL20 vision of becoming the Silicon Valley of Asia, the disconnect between banks and startups remains a serious bottleneck.




We speak with Mike Breen, Chief Commercial Officer at Audax, as he talks to us about how real transformation begins inside the banks themselves. Backed by Standard Chartered, Audax helps turn slow-moving financial institutions into scalable, secure platforms that fintechs can plug into. We explore what it takes to bridge the gap between ambition and infrastructure, and what Malaysia must do to turn a thriving ecosystem into a truly integrated digital economy.
