The New Apex Predator: CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz on Adversaries Armed With AI Agents

George Kurtz, CEO of CrowdStrike, joins Sarah Guo and Elad Gil to explore how AI is reshaping cybersecurity. He describes how adversaries are already using AI agents to mount attacks that play out in seconds, dramatically compressing the time defenders have to respond. The conversation covers the security implications of open-weight versus closed models, why CrowdStrike is partnering with Nvidia to build a dedicated security AI lab, and how the Hugging Face incident highlighted supply chain risks. Kurtz argues that AI, like previous platform shifts, will be a net creator of opportunity for those who adapt.
