Ep. 37: Elon Musk's Grok AI Is "Undressing" Women Online
with Tazin Khan, CEO of Cyber Collective
In this week’s episode of The Intersect, I’m joined by Tazin Khan, a globally recognized cybersecurity strategist and the founder of Cyber Collective. Together we discuss the importance of digital safety as our lives become increasingly intertwined with online platforms and AI systems. Tazin challenges the idea that cybersecurity is just a technical issue and reframes it as a matter of dignity, consent, and care.
We dive into the recent controversy surrounding Grok, Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, and what the scandal reveals about content moderation failures, consent, and the disproportionate harm faced by women and marginalized communities online. Tazin unpacks the emotional and cultural costs of living online, and explains why risk isn’t distributed evenly in the digital world. From AI-driven scams to deepfakes, this conversation explores what it really means to be safe online — and what needs to change next.

This reframing of cybersecurity as a matter of dignity rather than purely technical protection is powerful. I've workedon digital safety initiatives where the human impact of technical failures gets lost in compliance metrics and threat models. The point about risk not being distributed evenly online is something that doesn't get enough atention in tech circles. Looking forward to checking out the Digital Resilience Framework approach.
