    AI scams targeting businesses are surging: Here are the top 3 threats your team is likely to face in 2026

    In this episode of Brains Byte Back, we take a closer look at the top three AI-powered scams threatening small, mid-sized, and large businesses leading into 2026. With cyber fraud on the rise, attacks are becoming that much more sophisticated, making it harder to spot. AI tools are giving scammers new and creative ways of obtaining the info they need to do damage, using AI to impersonate employees, clone voices, and exploit rapid AI adoption. According to recent research, 90% of U.S. companies were hit by cyber fraud in 2024, and AI-enabled attacks — including deepfakes and voice cloning — surged 118% year-over-year.  While businesses are learning how to leverage AI, attackers are becoming even quicker at weaponizing it. But we have you covered. Erick speaks with cybersecurity expert Sanny Liao (co-founder & CPO of Fable Security) to unpack: How synthetic identities and “fake employees” infiltrate organizations — appearing on résumés, IDs, even video calls; Why AI-driven social engineering and voice-phishing are now far more effective than legacy scams; How insecure AI adoption is opening new vulnerabilities inside companies fast-adopting automation and code-generation tools. Tune in to hear real-world stories and walk away with concrete steps to protect your business. It’s a 2026 wake-up call every founder, manager, and IT leader needs before “trust but verify” becomes “verify or regret.” Find out more about Sanny Liao here. Learn more about Fable Security here.

  2. From Building Startups Before High School to Scaling Sales with AI: How a Young Founder is Modernizing Outreach

    From Building Startups Before High School to Scaling Sales with AI: How a Young Founder is Modernizing Outreach

    In this episode of Brains Byte Back, we’re joined by Ibrahim Hasanov, a founder whose story is anything but ordinary. He started building hardware at six, coding at eleven, and by thirteen, he’d already launched his first startup. Impressive when most founders don’t launch their own startups until the age of 30. Since then, his projects have ranged from an online operating system to an image compression algorithm that caught the attention of Cisco engineers. Now, Ibrahim is the founder of Myuser, an AI-powered platform that transforms how businesses connect with new customers. Instead of drowning in generic outreach, Myuser helps companies scale with ultra-personalized communication at every step by using what he refers to as a smarter AI combined with a proven sales technique. In this conversation, we trace Ibrahim’s journey from having a winner mindset even as a child to winning with my Myuser, and ending with some valuable advice for those young people looking to launch their own tech business, which involves looking behind the curtain.

    AI and 3D in Construction: Building Smarter, Faster, On Track

    Construction is a $10 trillion industry, yet delays and budget overruns are still the norm. In this episode, Erick Espinosa speaks with NK, co-founder and CEO of Track 3D, about how simple cameras combined with AI can give builders a live, accurate picture of what s happening on site.  NK explains why progress reports are often unreliable, how 3D replicas change the game, and why contractors are finally ready to embrace tech that saves time and money. He also shares his journey from working on smart cities to launching a startup in the US, and what it really takes to bring advanced tools into a traditional field. It's a look at where construction is heading, what AI can do right now, and why founders like NK believe the industry is on the edge of major change. Find out more about NK here.

  4. Why Latin America’s Tech Future Depends on Women in Leadership

    Why Latin America’s Tech Future Depends on Women in Leadership

    Did you know Latin America is one of the fastest-growing tech regions in the world? But while we see the region advancing forward, it’s not advancing as a whole, as women are still underrepresented in the growing industry. Across LatAm, only about 23% of technology workers are women, and when it comes to leadership, the number drops even lower. That gap doesn’t just limit careers; it shapes the kind of companies that get built, and the products that reach the market. Especially when innovations are born through lived experiences, and those experiences look different depending on who’s in the room. Today’s guest, Odille Sanchez from Tec de Monterrey in Mexico, is working to change that. As the leader of Tech and Scientific-based Entrepreneurship Center of Excellence, she’s on the ground with startups and innovation programs across the region, and has a clear view of both the barriers women face and the opportunities waiting to be unlocked.

  5. Shift Left, Ship Fast: How Software Teams Can Offer Speed Without Sacrificing Quality

    Shift Left, Ship Fast: How Software Teams Can Offer Speed Without Sacrificing Quality

    If you’ve ever worked in software, you know the pressure to ship fast is real. But in today’s world, where AI can generate entire codebases in minutes, that pressure is colliding with something else: complexity. More code, more tools, more risk…and somehow, slower delivery. In fact, according to a recent report from GitHub, developers now spend over half their time not coding, but testing, validating, or just waiting for access to the right environment. That’s where today’s guest comes in. I’m joined by Arjun Iyer, co-founder and CEO of Signadot, and someone who’s spent more than 20 years deep in the world of distributed systems and cloud-native software. He’s worked at places like AppDynamics, and he’s tackling one of the biggest problems in software delivery: how do you move fast and maintain quality? We talk about the real-world bottleneck slowing teams down, why AI isn’t the silver bullet because as Arjun shares just generating code doesn’t make it production ready, and how concepts like “shift left” are giving teams a smarter way to build.

    Will AI Take Your Job or Just Rewrite It?

    It’s predicted that AI could replace half of all entry-level white-collar jobs in the next five years, especially in the U.S., where fewer regulations and bigger investments are speeding things up.
