Today is 2026, and this is Learn AI from AI.

I’m Brian — and today’s episode is about AI security.

Not sci-fi threats.

Not Hollywood doomsday scenarios.

But the real risks that are already affecting people, companies, and governments right now — and what actually helps.

We’re going to cover three things today:

First, how AI is changing scams, fraud, and social engineering.

Second, what the real technical risks are — and what’s overhyped.

And third, what actually works if you want to stay safe in 2026.

Welcome to Learn AI from AI. I'm Brian, and this is your ten-minute roundup of the most important AI launches, releases, and platform moves in the start of the year — plus what's actually confirmed versus what's still rumor and hype.

We're going to hit three big themes today.

First, the new building blocks for agent-style AI: models that can plan, call tools, and stream events, not just chat.

Second, a wave of practical releases for developers: translation, coding workflows, and real-time image generation and editing.

And third, the business and governance layer catching up fast: ads in chatbots, safety audits, and platform bans.

Welcome to Learn AI from AI. In this episode, we’re doing a clear, ten-minute tour of the AI terminology you actually need to know in 2026. No math, no fluff, just the concepts that matter, organized so they stick when you hear them.

We done something like this before, but this is based on what people are most curious about and search for every day starting the year. Questions like: what is generative AI, what is an LLM, what’s an AI agent, what is RAG, and why does everyone keep saying transformer?
