    Is Big Tech Shaping The Future Of AI? | Wendell Wallach

    As AI races forward, one question looms large—who decides what’s right and wrong? Behind the breakthroughs and multi billion-dollar valuations, a power struggle is unfolding. Big Tech is quietly shaping AI policy in the shadows, and governments are stuck playing catch-up. In this episode, I speak with Wendell Wallach, a foremost expert on AI ethics and governance, to break down the challenges and power dynamics steering the course of AI. Co-author of Moral Machines and a key figure at Yale and Carnegie Council, Wendell has spent decades thinking about how to align AI with human values. We cover: • why rogue superintelligence isn’t the biggest threat • how Big Tech is quietly shaping AI policies • AGI vs. ASI: When AI starts making its own rules Connect with us here: 1.

    Move Aside DeepSeek, Here’s Liquid AI, a $2B LLM Startup from MIT, Inspired by Worms | Agentic EP 10

    Bigger AI models dominate the headlines—but what if the real breakthrough lies in making AI smaller? In this episode, I sit down with Ramin Hasani, Alexander Amini, and Daniela Rus—who are at the helm of Liquid AI—to discuss how their approach challenges conventional architectures and unlocks new frontiers for AI deployment. Also on the docket: • Ramin explains how insights from a microscopic worm led to a novel AI model. • Alexander breaks down why Liquid AI operates efficiently on local devices—without compromising modality. • Daniela exposes a critical flaw in today’s AI incumbents and why efficiency is the next major battleground.

    4x Neurotech AI Founder w/ $650M+ Exits Shares PMF & Fundraising | Agentic EP 09

    For years, $7.2B in U.S. government-backed neuroperformance research sat untouched—proven cognitive enhancements with no commercial application. David Bach saw the gap. Optios is bridging classified IP with market demand, transforming military-grade neuroscience into real-world performance gains. The upside? Monumental. The imbalance? Even bigger. We dive into: • how declassified DOD research is unlocking a new frontier in neurotech • the hidden psychology behind winning investor buy-in • what $600M+ in exits taught him about product-market fit Connect with us here: 1.

    How to Raise + Scale an AI Startup in 2025 | Agentic EP 07

    AI is a platform shift unlike any other, with far-reaching implications for every startup. In my recent webinar with the Founder’s Bay community in Silicon Valley, hosted by Mariane Bekker, I explored why AI should be the core focus for founders aiming to build scalable, high-impact companies. Key takeaways: • there’s hardly an application that AI can’t improve • AI startups are exiting faster—7 years on average vs. 13 for others • building in AI is your best shot at hitting $100M ARR • it’s not a zero-sum market—horizontal and vertical plays can both win • focus on solving high-value problems using AI to attract funding and top-tier talent In this episode, I share my views on how you could build a leading AI startup that attracts funding, customers, and talent in 2025.

    The insurance industry has a 400,000 agent shortage. I sat down with Harper's founders, who use agentic AI to deliver enterprise-grade service at 1/10th the cost. Dakotah Rice and Tushar Nair revealed how they're leveraging the $85B E&S market: • voice AI running quotes to claims • why selling AI tools failed, but becoming a broker worked • how they're hitting software margins in a services business As insurance carriers exit Florida and California, Harper couldn’t have come at a better time.

    Your AI Architecture Is Wrong | Agentic EP 05

    Only 8 companies have shipped AI Agents from production. In this episode of Agentic, I brought together 3 of them, to reveal how they crossed this chasm: 1. Aria Attar (TensorStax) shows how they're tackling the 1:250 data scientist shortage with agents that drop into existing cloud environments. 2. Joe Stolte (Daily.ai), fresh off multiple exits including a $62.5 M acquisition, reveals how they turned 1B newsletter interactions into $1.2M in ARR in just 14 months. 3. Jacky Wong (Nullify) explains how they're helping enterprises where security teams are outnumbered 4:1 by developers. Key insight? While the AI market races toward $733.7B by 2027— Solving for deployment and LLM reliability > focussing on model capabilities. Let’s dive right in. Connect with us at: 1.

    Where Top VCs Are Placing Their AI Bets In 2025 | Agentic EP 04

    With $90B poured into AI over the past year, where is the focus going to be in 2025? I spoke to four top investors to find out. 1. Yipeng Zhao (Embark Ventures) believes AI offers a one-year head start. Fast GTM wins. Slow movers risk irrelevance. 2. Hari Arul (Khosla Ventures) has stopped backing co-pilots altogether. His take? Human-in-loop models won’t survive past 2026. 3. James Shecter (Fika Ventures) says enterprises need the illusion of control over their AI workflows. 4. Nicole Toussaint (TenOneTen Ventures) sees the “Scopely moment” for AI agents approaching fast — and soon, market entry will outweigh engineering breakthroughs. Tune in now. Connect with us at: 1.

    Why AI Agents Are Eating Enterprise Software | EP 03 Founders Panel

    While 92% of Fortune 500s realize the surplus alpha that can be created from leveraging AI, only 25% of SMBs realize the same. I sat with 6 founders who are building Agentic AI solutions: Jacky Wong (Nullify), Aria Attar (TensorStax), Max Ahrens (Maihem), Saurabh Sharma (You.com), Jonas Diezun (Beam AI), and Ashar Rizqi (Bounti.ai). The key highlights from our conversation were: - OpenAI’s function calling breaks down when scaling requires consistent outputs and error handling—just ask Jacky or anyone building enterprise agents. - MongoDB could face disruption as AI agents take over infrastructure orchestration—Aria flagged it, and I agree. - Calling agents "AI workers" simplifies adoption for hesitant enterprises—a shift that doubled Jonas Diezun’s sales. - Agentic AI scales across verticals in months, not years—Ashar says the old SaaS scaling playbook is obsolete. - Max at Maihem points out that building functional agents hinges on managing the edge cases that crash your system.
