Real-time camera deepfakes are no longer science fiction. High-fidelity, AI-generated impersonation may be advancing quickly — but that's not the only AI risk financial services companies should be thinking about. In this episode of AI Can Do What Now?!, Lisa Jones-Huff, director of security solutions architecture at Elastic, sits down with ethical hacker Freakyclown (FC) to explore what is technically possible today with AI, where reality still falls short of the hype, and what security teams should be worried about.

What is the most immediate risk financial services companies face today? AI-enabled social engineering is already accelerating real-world attacks. Scale, personalization, speed, and automation are lowering the barrier for attackers while making fraud detection more complex for defenders. In this episode of AI Can Do What Now?!, Lisa Jones-Huff, director of security solutions architecture at Elastic, is joined by ethical hacker Freakyclown (FC), and principle solutions architect Joe Murin to explore what is actually happening right now — beyond the hype.

Agentic AI doesn’t replace analysts, it augments them. The real value comes from making teams more efficient, not smaller. This is the perspective most people miss.
