  • How do you know if an AI system is trustworthy, compliant, ethical, and fit for purpose?

    In this episode of the FIT4Privacy Podcast, Punit Bhatia is joined by Stella Liu, an AI evaluation expert and founder of AI Evals & Analytics, to unpack one of the most practical—anud overlooked—challenges in AI today: how to evaluate AI systems before and after deployment.

  • AI is changing how professionals communicate, market, and build relationships on LinkedIn but using more automation doesn’t always lead to better outcomes.

    In this episode of the FIT4Privacy Podcast, we sit down with Judi Hays, LinkedIn strategist and author of Elevate, Expand, Engage, to explore how AI is reshaping visibility, credibility, and professional branding on LinkedIn. Judy explains why AI should be treated as an assistant, not a replacement, and why unchecked automation can quietly damage trust and reputation.


    KEY MOMENTS

    02:00 — The world of AI Privacy

    02:30 — AI Impact on Marketing

    05:45 — Concerns on Privacy

    09:02 — LinkedIn Algorithm Shift

    15:12 — Elevate Expand Engage Framework

    22:23 — AI Bots and Automation Risk

    26:40 — About the book “Elevate Expand Engage”

    28:30 — Final Message

    From AI‑generated comments and outreach tools to voice notes mistaken for synthetic audio, this conversation highlights how easily authenticity can be lost. We discuss why LinkedIn is not a selling platform, how the algorithm has shifted to prioritize integrity over hacks, and why saves and meaningful comments now matter more than likes or hashtags.

    The episode also dives into privacy and security concerns, including risky links, fake profiles, and automation tools that can lead to account suspension. Whether you’re a consultant, executive, job seeker, or founder, this conversation offers practical, experience-based guidance on how to use AI responsibly while building a trusted professional presence.

    If you’re navigating LinkedIn in the age of AI, this episode will help you understand what has changed, what no longer works, and why authenticity still wins.

    Key Moments

    00:00 The Privacy Problem in Crypto

    01:54 Why Sender Identity Is So Hard

    06:19 AI Agents and Transaction Risks

    09:55 Stealth Addresses Explained

    15:33 Privacy vs Compliance

    20:32 American Fortress Solution

    24:11 A PayPal-Like Experience for Crypto

    28:18 Closing Thoughts

    Can cryptocurrency ever be truly private while still complying with regulations?

    Most privacy tools in crypto actually create more problems. Mixers co-mingle funds, identity is unclear, and verifying who you are transacting with becomes nearly impossible.

    Explore how stealth addresses, human-readable names, and decentralized identity models could allow people to send money securely while still meeting compliance requirements like KYC and anti-money laundering regulations.

    As AI agents and automated transactions begin to scale globally, the challenge of privacy vs transparency is becoming one of the most important questions in the future of digital finance.

    This conversation explores whether a system can exist that protects user confidentiality while still enabling trust, compliance, and accountability.

    28:18 Closing Thoughts

    Can cryptocurrency ever be truly private while still complying with regulations?

    Most privacy tools in crypto actually create more problems. Mixers co-mingle funds, identity is unclear, and verifying who you are transacting with becomes nearly impossible.

    Explore how stealth addresses, human-readable names, and decentralized identity models could allow people to send money securely while still meeting compliance requirements like KYC and anti-money laundering regulations.

    As AI agents and automated transactions begin to scale globally, the challenge of privacy vs transparency is becoming one of the most important questions in the future of digital finance.

    This conversation explores whether a system can exist that protects user confidentiality while still enabling trust, compliance, and accountability.

  • AI is transforming the world—but is it transforming privacy for better or for risk? We trust our GP with our deepest secrets, but can we extend that same trust to AI-powered systems and cloud-based suppliers? And if AI can re-identify people even in anonymized research data, is “anonymous” still real anymore?

    In this episode, Punit Bhatia and Tania Palmariellodiviney reveals how AI tools reshape confidentiality, integrity, availability, cloud sprawl, supplier risk, clinical transcription accuracy, re-identification, and even personal fears like voice-based deepfakes. The voice of experience rings clear: digital trust isn’t a checkbox…it’s engineered early with transparency, responsible data use, privacy by design, and safety by design.
