S2 E5 – How AI is shaping offensive cyber operations

Jim Clover and Luke Potter of explore how AI is reshaping offensive cyber operations, from model safety to adaptive attack simulation, and what responsible evolution should look like as AI becomes part of real-world offensive capability.

In this episode of YOU DESERVE TO BE HACKED, we sit down with Jim Clover, founder of Varadius Ltd and former UK Government cyber operations lead, and Luke Potter, COO at CovertSwarm, to examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping offensive cyber operations.

Jim brings deep experience in AI model safety and OSINT from years working within high-risk environments.

Luke shares insight from the front line of offensive cybersecurity, where AI is already accelerating reconnaissance, social engineering, and adaptive attack planning.

Together, they explore how AI is shifting offensive capability from a human-led craft toward a hybrid model of human judgment and machine-driven precision.

This conversation looks beyond the hype, asking what responsible evolution should look like as AI becomes embedded in real attack simulation.

If you want an honest, strategic look at the future of AI-driven offense, and what it means for defenders trying to keep pace, this episode cuts straight to the heart of the conversation.
