In an age of artificial intelligence, Dennis Underwood is working it “old school.”

He is prioritizing face time.

Underwood is CEO of Cyber Crucible, a cybersecurity software company in Fox Chapel that focuses on preventing data theft, identity theft and ransomware. He said the introduction of mainstream AI in the job has changed the way his company operates. Rather than decreasing the amount of human interaction that occurs within his company, it has increased it.
