    #33 - Using AI to fix job destruction, skills, and hiring - Tigran Sloyan

    In a labor market being rewired by AI, CodeSignal is betting that skills, not resumes, will decide who thrives. For this episode of The Deep View: Conversations, I talked with Tigran Sloyan, CEO and co-founder of CodeSignal, the company building a new standard for hiring and career mobility in the age of AI. CodeSignal’s mission starts with a simple but painful truth: resumes and interviews are a flawed way to hire talent. Countless candidates have the skills to thrive in high-paying tech roles but never get a fair shot, while others with polished credentials sometimes land jobs they’re not prepared to do.  CodeSignal is flipping that equation with skills-based assessments that help employers discover candidates with real ability, and a free learning platform that helps candidates level up for the next opportunity. In my conversation with Tigran, we talked about: + Why resumes haven’t meaningfully changed in 100 years, and why it's breaking hiring + How CodeSignal measures skills, and why simulation beats multiple-choice + What AI unlocks for assessing non-technical roles such as sales and support + The dark side of AI: what CodeSignal’s research shows about cheating attempts + Why entry-level jobs are turning into tasks, and what that means for training + How CodeSignal makes free learning content work economically + The future of re-skilling at scale, and why AI tutoring changes everything We also dig into what’s changing fast right now: the rise of AI-assisted work, the surge in fraud in hiring assessments, and why foundational skills still matter even when AI can do the task. Tigran shares his background from Armenia to MIT to Google, his most contrarian leadership advice, and the AI tool he'd recommend you start using every day. If you want to understand how AI is being used to fix the problems that AI is causing in the job market, this is the podcast for you.

    #32 - How perception itself became an attack surface - Wasim Khaled

    In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we talked with Wasim Khaled, CEO of Blackbird AI, to explore a provocative idea: What happens when reality itself becomes hackable? Long before generative AI went mainstream, Wasim and his cofounder launched Blackbird to tackle disinformation and narrative manipulation. Their thesis was bold: that part of modern cybersecurity conflict had shifted from infrastructure to information, from networks to narratives. It turned out to be prescient. As AI supercharges the speed, scale, and realism of malicious content — from deepfakes to coordinated influence campaigns — Blackbird has emerged as the leader in combating narrative attacks. In fact, Gartner recently named Blackbird the company to beat in disinformation narrative intelligence in its report on the AI Vendor Race. In our conversation, we explore: + What “narrative attacks” really are and why they’re so hard to detect + How AI has fundamentally changed the disinformation battlefield + Reactive vs. proactive defense strategies in cybersecurity + How Blackbird evolved from a lab experiment into a national security player + Why leaders relying on chatbots instead of AI agents are already falling behind Wasim also shares how he optimizes his time for maximum leverage, and offers his advice for founders navigating fast-moving technology shifts. If you care about cybersecurity, AI, information warfare, or the future of leadership in the age of intelligent agents, this is a conversation you'll want to hear.

    #30 - AI agents are moving faster than you thought - Matt Yanchyshyn

    AI agents in business aren't something that will happen in the future. They’re already here, and they're scaling a lot more rapidly than we expected. In this episode of The Deep View: Conversations, Editor-in-Chief Jason Hiner talks to Matt Yanchyshyn, who leads AWS Marketplace at Amazon Web Services. Yanchyshyn's team helps organizations discover, buy, and deploy software on AWS, and one of the biggest shifts they’ve seen over the past six months is the explosion of AI agents in real-world use cases. When AWS unveiled its agent marketplace in mid-2025, the internal goal was initially to launch with 50 agents. By early 2026, that number had surged past 2,600 agents, making it the fastest-growing category in the history of the world’s largest cloud platform. So what’s driving that surge? Yanchyshyn breaks it down. In this conversation, we cover:+ Which types of AI agents are seeing the fastest enterprise adoption+ The industries and use cases leading the charge+ How companies are handling data security and sovereignty concerns+ The role of multi-model orchestration in agent effectiveness+ How AWS is using agents internally to drive lots of different wins If you're trying to understand where AI agents are actually being deployed — not the hype, but the reality — then this conversation will reset your expectations. It will help you see where agentic AI is already delivering business value, and where it’s heading next.

    #28 - How to solve the ROI problem for AI inference - Rob May

    How do you make AI inference affordable enough to deliver real ROI in the enterprise?  In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we talk with Rob May, founder and CEO of Neurometric AI, to break down one of the most urgent challenges in AI today: the soaring cost of inference, and how to bring it down without sacrificing performance.  Today's AI is increasingly powerful, but it’s also expensive. For enterprises to see real returns, inference costs have to drop dramatically. Neurometric believes the answer lies in "thinking algorithms" paired with small, specialized models and workload-specific optimization. This approach can significantly reduce costs while often improving accuracy and efficiency. Rob walks through how this works in practice and why it matters as AI moves from experimentation to scaled deployment.  We also talk about:+ Why the current AI boom pulled Rob back into operating a startup after multiple exits and a move into investing + How founders should think about AI infrastructure, efficiency, and long-term economics + What startup leaders can do to get journalists to pay attention — and a pivotal early-career conversation that led to coverage which changed the trajectory of one of Rob’s companies  If you’re building, deploying, or investing in AI and wrestling with the economics of inference, this conversation offers a clear, practical perspective on what comes next.  Thank you to our sponsor, Deel, an AI-native platform for HR, IT, and payroll.

    #27: How AI Is Changing the Way Engineers Review Code - Merrill Lutsky

    In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Merrill Lutsky, cofounder and CEO of Graphite — a company using artificial intelligence to transform how engineers write, review, and ship code. What started as an internal tool to streamline software deployment has grown into something larger: a vision for how AI can augment, not replace, the craft of engineering — and reshape how teams collaborate at scale. Merrill walks us through Graphite’s early pivots, the development of its AI reviewer Diamond, and how the company is rethinking the bottleneck that stands between building and shipping code. We also go beyond the product to explore deeper questions:Will coding become fully automated?How do we balance speed and safety in an era of AI-written software?And what does craftsmanship mean when machines start to create?
