Are you oversharing with AI? Author Jamie Bartlett has thoughts.

About this episode

Jamie Bartlett discusses the implications of sharing information with AI and how to use AI tools safely.

Sharing information with AI has quickly become second nature. But what are you really giving away? 🤖🗣️ Think twice about your next prompt, as we dig into what it really means to use AI tools safely. Jamie Bartlett, author of How to Talk to AI (And How Not To), joins the show to unpack an important skill: using AI without giving away more than you intend. Whether you’re experimenting on your own or managing AI usage across an entire organization, this conversation will help you stay in control. Jamie’s advice covers everything from misplaced trust and oversharing to the subtle ways prompts shape responses. Plus, in Watchtower Weekly and Crash Course, we connect the dots between AI and security, unpacking 1Password’s Unified Access announcement and credential brokering — and how they can help teams securely manage access for AI agents. And finally, who will detect this week’s stolen identity in Identity Theft? 🕵️‍♂️
