Bare Knuckles and Brass TacksAuthor: BKBT Productions
Hosted by two guys named George on either side of the divide, this is a cybersecurity podcast that tackles the relationship between vendors and their customers. George Kamide is on the security vendor side, and George Al-Koura is a CISO on the customer side. Vendors gotta sell, and companies need tooling to protect their data. Tune in to hear real conversations from opposing sides of the pitch about cybersecurity marketing, sales, and go to market strategies. We go after these topics and bad practices with bare knuckles, then its down to brass tacks to look for solutions. Tune in to hear from guests from either side, including CISOs, SMEs, sales leaders, frontline account managers, and more!

Why future applications of AI will need higher quality data
Episode 24
Monday, 12 January, 2026
What if the real AI revolution isn't about better models—but about unlocking the data we've been sitting on?Mike McLaughlin—cybersecurity and data privacy attorney, former US Cyber Command—joins us to discuss something most people miss in the AI conversation: we're building the infrastructure for a completely new asset class.The conversation moves past today's headlines and LLM limitations into what becomes possible when we solve the data access problem:Research acceleration at unprecedented scale. Imagine biotech startups accessing decades of pharmaceutical failure data, every null result, every experiment that didn't work. That's years cut from development cycles. That's drugs to market faster. That's lives saved.Universities as innovation accelerators. Right now, research institutions pay to store petabytes of data collecting dust on servers. Mike argues they're sitting on billions in untapped assets to fuel innovation.Beyond synthetic training. The next generation of AI won't be trained on Reddit threads and scraped websites. It'll be trained on high-quality, provenance-verified research data from institutions that have incentive to participate in the ecosystem.Mike's vision isn't just about compliance or risk mitigation. It's about creating the conditions for AI to actually deliver on the promise everyone keeps talking about. The compute exists. The capital exists. The models are improving. What we need now is the mechanism to turn decades of institutional research into fuel for the next wave of moonshot innovation.MentionedGoogle licensing deal with RedditPoisoning Attacks on LLMs Require a Near-constant Number of Poison SamplesMIT researchers discover new class of antibiotics using machine learningReducing bacterial infections from hospital catheters using machine learning
