Pop Goes the Stack

In our inaugural episode of Pop Goes the Stack, Lori MacVittie and occasional co-host, Joel Moses, dive into the wild world of multimodal AI with guest Aubrey King. They discuss Fortnite's fascinating yet problematic AI-powered Darth Vader, a multimodal NPC driven by Google’s Gemini 2.0 Flash and ElevenLabs’ Flash v2.5, highlighting the technical mishaps and security pitfalls. The conversation explores the unique risks of multimodal AI in application delivery, where voice and text inputs create complex attack surfaces compared to traditional prompt injection vulnerabilities. Tune in for a blend of tech insights and entertaining anecdotes that reveal the lessons developers and companies can learn to avoid similar issues in the future when deploying cutting-edge AI technology.
