CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz on adversaries armed with AI agents
No Priors · rss · 2026-10-22
On the No Priors podcast, Sarah Guo and Elad Gil talk with CrowdStrike president and CEO George Kurtz about AI-equipped attackers.
- Adversaries are already running AI agents, and the fastest attacks now play out in seconds; agents are flattening the adversary pyramid by putting advanced tradecraft in the hands of low-skill attackers.
- CrowdStrike and Nvidia are building a frontier-style lab to train security models of their own.
- Also covered: open-weight vs closed models on security, lessons from the recent Hugging Face incident, the state of model distillation, platform investment priorities, and Kurtz's view that AI, like every platform shift before it, is a net creator of opportunity.
