9to5Mac's Security Bite podcast examines a question many users rarely ask: who does an AI agent really work for? In this episode, host Arin Waichulis welcomes Ron Zayas, CEO of Ironwall by Incogni, to discuss privacy issues surrounding AI agents.
Zayas leads Ironwall by Incogni, a company that helps public officials remove their personal information from data brokers and people-search sites. Earlier this year, he appeared on 60 Minutes to talk about that work. This episode shifts the focus to the privacy implications of AI agents and the parties they may ultimately serve.
The discussion covers how AI agents collect and handle personal data, and what users should understand about the companies and interests behind them. Listeners are encouraged to think critically about the trade-offs of delegating tasks to automated systems.
Security Bite is 9to5Mac's weekly deep dive into Apple security, covering threats, privacy concerns and vulnerabilities across an ecosystem of over 2 billion devices. Every other week, Waichulis hosts experts to break down the most pressing topics.
