About this episode

What actually happens when AI systems fail in the real world?


In this final part of our conversation with Saadia Gabriel (UCLA), we unpack one of the most urgent challenges in modern AI: why even the most advanced models remain vulnerable to manipulation - and what that means for safety, fairness, and society.


From multi-turn jailbreaking attacks with near 100% success rates to misinformation shaping human beliefs, this conversation goes beyond surface-level concerns and dives into how harms actually emerge in deployed systems.


We explore:

  • Why current guardrails are not enough
  • How realistic attack scenarios differ from academic benchmarks
  • The connection between model vulnerabilities and societal harm
  • What AI can (and cannot) do about misinformation and persuasion
  • The open research problems that still don’t have solutions

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
