How to Protect Your Digital Identity in the AI Era, with Ken Griggs

This week on 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁, hosts 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗠𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗵𝘆 (𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘀 𝗔𝗜) and 𝗞𝘆𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝗻 (𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻) talk with 𝗞𝗲𝗻 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝘀, CEO of 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹, about protecting your digital identity when AI makes impersonation cheap and trust harder to earn.

As synthetic content floods the internet, the real issue isn’t just deepfakes — it’s the growing uncertainty around what (and who) to believe. Ken explains why “old internet” security habits don’t fully cover the AI era, and how tools like 𝗻𝗼𝘁.𝗯𝗼𝘁 use cryptographic verification to help creators and public-facing professionals prove authenticity 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘢.

We also dig into the mindset shift: moving from casually “posting content” to intentionally authorizing and protecting your identity — because your face, voice, and reputation are now part of the attack surface.
