The Artificial Intelligence Show Podcast

AI could change more than how we do our jobs. New Google DeepMind research explores how AI agents may reshape companies, wages, and hiring—and what happens to purpose and connection when work changes. smarterx.ai/smarterxblog/goo…

Anthropic could go public at a $1.5 trillion valuation, potentially surpassing Meta. A five-year-old AI company could debut at a higher valuation than one of the world's most profitable tech giants.

The next wave of AI adoption may not be led by engineers. We argue that companies should empower business leaders to build AI agents with no-code tools. The companies that recognize this shift first could have a major advantage.

Coding helped fuel Anthropic’s growth. The next opportunity? Marketing, sales, operations, HR, finance, and legal. AI coworkers could bring the capabilities of Claude Code to professionals who never write code. smarterx.ai/smarterxblog/ant…

Self-driving companies by 2030? @paulroetzer isn't buying it. Most enterprises are still piloting AI assistants, let alone scaling autonomous agents across thousands of employees. Here's why the timeline doesn't add up.

Anthropic's vision goes far beyond chatbots. Its "virtual collaborators" could autonomously execute complex knowledge work for hours, days, or weeks. Are businesses ready? Listen to Episode 249 now. 👉 podcast.smarterx.ai/shownote…

AI leaders acknowledge the risks of building increasingly powerful models. But they keep building them anyway.

Before giving AI agents more autonomy, decide what actions get logged, who reviews alerts, and who can stop an agent. Monitoring is only useful when people can act on what it reveals. smarterx.ai/smarterxblog/ope…

Millions of attempted exploits in 12 hours. That's AI scale. From Episode 248 of the podcast.

A powerful AI model can be useful and still carry risks your business isn't prepared to accept. Vendor safeguards don't replace your own approval processes, access controls, and deployment rules. smarterx.ai/smarterxblog/ant…

What if AI could become a "skeleton key" to the internet? From Episode 248 of the podcast.

Can AI labs effectively police themselves? In Episode 248, Paul and Mike question whether external audits, transparency, and safety evaluations can keep pace with rapidly advancing AI capabilities.

AI didn't create the cybersecurity crisis. But it's accelerating the race between attackers and defenders. Two critical PHP vulnerabilities show why businesses need to know what software they're running—and who's responsible for patching it. smarterx.ai/smarterxblog/ai-…

AI found a 14-year-old flaw in PHP, which powers an estimated 70% of websites. Within 12 hours of disclosure, Cloudflare saw millions of exploitation attempts. More on the AI cybersecurity era in Episode 248. podcast.smarterx.ai/shownote…

Nearly 2,000 people. One big question: How do we embrace AI's promise without ignoring its human costs? #MAICON26 brought both sides of the conversation to Cleveland. smarterx.ai/smarterxblog/mai…

AI safety isn't just a technical debate inside research labs. It affects how much responsibility businesses should hand over to autonomous systems. smarterx.ai/smarterxblog/ope…

Junior employees went from 27% to 9% of Anthropic's technical hires. Overall technical hiring still grew. The real story is how AI may be changing who gets hired. smarterx.ai/smarterxblog/ant…

AI is getting smarter. But are we getting better at keeping it safe? A former OpenAI safety lead says current safeguards may not be enough for today's models, let alone tomorrow's. @paulroetzer and @mikekaput unpack the warning in Episode 247. podcast.smarterx.ai/shownote…

It started as AI-powered product search. Now, Alibaba dot com's Accio is evolving into a team of agents that can help businesses research markets, source products, analyze margins, manage storefronts, and more.

AI agents are getting more capable. But do we fully understand what happens when they’re unleashed on the internet?
