What are your main responsibilities within your role?
A big part of my role is actually change management. The AI landscape is taking off, and technology has become exponentially more complex.
My role is to be the expert who determines what is a deepfake and what isn't, but it's reaching a point where I can't. So, a lot of it involves training people on newer technologies and transitioning them away from older ones.
This is a very hands-on and technical position. I care deeply about implementing proper security policy, but ultimately, people have to adopt good habits and adhere to it.
This means I have to do a good job of teaching and training them. The goal is to break down technical concepts into layman's terms or simplistic, non-technical terms for any audience.
