SecurityWeek's Cyber Insights 2026 series on social engineering featured Arkose Labs CEO Kevin Gosschalk on how AI is enabling a new class of purpose-built criminal tools. Gosschalk highlighted the commercialization of phishing-as-a-service platforms and sophisticated fraud toolkits capable of spoofing voice and video — distinguishing these from consumer AI tools being misused and describing them as products engineered specifically for deception. The piece surveys more than 20 security experts on how AI is transforming social engineering from targeted campaigns into hyper-personalized attacks at mass scale and what organizations must do to adapt.
