   The "I" in FOCI and AI: Innovation, Intelligence, Influence

   In the 20th episode of "Are We All Clear? Facilitating Security Clearances," host Molly O'Casey (https://www.hklaw.com/en/professionals/o/ocasey-molly-b) is joined by John Metz, a product manager at Agile Defense, and Antonia Tzinova (https://www.hklaw.com/en/professionals/t/tzinova-antonia-i), the head of Holland & Knight's CFIUS and Industrial Security Team. The trio discusses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in the industrial security space and its potential to help companies mitigate risks of Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI), insider threats and cybersecurity challenges. Mr. Metz touches on some helpful aspects of AI, such as automated red teaming, supply chain risk management and identifying potential intellectual property (IP) theft. However, he also clarifies that there are more dangerous uses of this technology, in particular deepfakes and autonomous malware development. Overall, the group agrees that AI needs to continue being used and developed and emphasizes that it should be viewed as a tool instead of a human replacement.
