Every January, my inbox fills with cybersecurity predictions. Vendors warning about quantum apocalypse. Analysts forecasting AI-powered robot attackers. Consultants predicting threats that conveniently require their services to solve.

Most of it is noise. Here's what I found: the threats that will hit you in 2026 aren't the ones making headlines. They're the ones already inside your organization.

🗓️ If your team is working through AI governance, compliance, or risk strategy challenges, I'd welcome the conversation—whether that's a full-time leadership role or fractional support. Book time for a discussion → https://calendly.com/trevorwiseman/

AI can create massive risk when used in the wrong situations. These are the moments leaders must slow down or stop entirely. In this video, I break down when NOT to use AI — from high-stakes decision environments to legally sensitive workflows and systems that lack proper oversight.

This is not an anti-AI discussion. It’s a leadership-level risk and judgment conversation designed for CISOs, General Counsel, Chief AI Officers, and project leaders accountable for outcomes. You’ll learn how to recognize AI misuse patterns, identify situations where automation increases liability instead of efficiency, and understand why “just experimenting” can backfire in regulated or safety-critical contexts. We also explore governance gaps, explainability failures, and why some decisions must remain human — regardless of technical capability.

If you’re responsible for approving, deploying, or overseeing AI initiatives, this conversation will help you make defensible, strategic decisions instead of reactive ones.
