In this episode of Unspoken Security, host AJ Nash sits down with Galya Westler, Co-Founder and CEO at HumanBeam. They explore how advances in AI, digital identity, and holographic technology are reshaping the way organizations interact with people—while raising tough questions about privacy, ownership, and trust.

Galya shares how her work began in health technology, connecting patients to care during pandemics, and evolved into building secure, lifelike AI avatars for real-world use. She explains why protecting personal likeness and voice matters more than ever, especially as AI tools become more convincing and accessible. Galya stresses the need for consent, encryption, and clear boundaries to keep digital identities safe and organizations accountable.

Together, AJ and Galya dig into the risks and rewards of merging human presence with AI. They discuss how thoughtful design and strong security practices can support experts instead of replacing them, and why education and authenticity are key as we build a future where technology and humanity work side by side.
