AI cybercrime is getting faster, cheaper, and easier to scale. In this episode of The Human Edge, Patrick Somers and Scott Stolze break down what the Anthropic threat report says about AI-enabled cyberattacks—and why business owners should pay attention.

The Anthropic threat report describes cases where attackers used AI to help carry out parts of cyber operations, with people choosing targets and reviewing results. The danger of AI cybercrime isn’t necessarily a brand-new kind of crime. It’s the ability to run familiar attacks with fewer people and less effort.

We discuss how AI-enabled cyberattacks can affect businesses, nonprofits, and individuals; why a digital trail may not be enough to stop an attacker; and why security awareness needs to reach frontline employees, not just the executive team. Patrick also explains why an AI-generated voice call can put even a low-tech organization at risk.

If you own or lead an organization, the Anthropic threat report is a reason to revisit how your team recognizes suspicious requests, verifies identities, and responds when something feels off. AI cybercrime is a people issue as much as a technology issue—and preparing for AI-enabled cyberattacks starts with a conversation your whole team can understand.

Is AI theater killing employee trust? An AIDE Institute analysis of 507,878 Glassdoor reviews reveals what happens when leadership’s AI promises outpace the results employees can actually see.

In this AI in the News episode of The Human Edge, Patrick Somers and Scott Stolze examine how AI theater can damage employee trust—and why simply announcing an AI transformation is not the same as successfully leading one.

Researchers found that 27.5% of AI-related Glassdoor reviews were negative at companies where leadership’s AI ambition exceeded visible execution. That dropped to 12.6% when ambition and execution were both strong, and just 7.2% among quieter AI adopters.

The issue may not be employees fearing artificial intelligence. It may be employees losing trust in leaders who continually promote AI initiatives but cannot demonstrate meaningful progress.

Patrick and Scott discuss:

• Why AI theater damages leadership credibility
• How visible AI execution influences employee trust
• What 507,878 Glassdoor reviews reveal about AI adoption
• Why communication matters as much as implementation
• How visionary leaders can unintentionally overpromise
• Why employees should participate in creating useful AI workflows
• The “Proof Before Promotion” approach to AI leadership

AI theater creates expectations. When employees see announcements without practical improvements, employee trust begins to erode. Strong AI leadership means demonstrating one useful workflow, explaining its limitations, providing training, and then expanding adoption.

The Glassdoor reviews are self-selected, and the findings show an association rather than proving direct causation. Even so, the message is difficult to ignore: AI theater without visible execution can quickly become a leadership problem.

AI prompting is the difference between generic answers and genuinely useful AI results. In this episode of The Human Edge, Patrick Summers and AI strategist Scott Stolze reveal how better prompts lead to better AI results—without requiring complicated technical skills.

Most people blame the AI when they receive a weak response, but the real problem is often poor AI prompting. Scott explains how clarity, context, roles, constraints, and follow-up questions can dramatically improve the quality and accuracy of your output.

You’ll learn:

• Why better prompts produce better AI results
• How to give AI the context it needs
• How roles and constraints improve responses
• Why you should ask AI to clarify your request
• How to reduce hallucinations and verify AI-generated information
• How voice prompting can make AI easier to use
• How memory and personalization change your AI experience
• The powerful question you should ask AI: “What can you do for me?”

Whether you use ChatGPT for business, marketing, content creation, research, or everyday productivity, improving your AI prompting can save time and help you make better decisions. Better prompts don’t need to be longer—they need to be clearer, more intentional, and supported by the right context.

If you want better AI results, start by improving your AI prompting. Better prompts create better conversations, more accurate answers, and more valuable outcomes.
