Episode notes
INSIGHT

Autonomous Agents Reshape Economic Activity

  • AI agents will shift economic activity from human-to-human to AI-on-AI and human-on-AI interactions.
  • That transition will fundamentally change enterprise architectures and require new security paradigms.
INSIGHT

Rapid Capability Gains Enable Complex Exploits

  • Model cyber capabilities are improving rapidly quarter-to-quarter across coding, tool use, multimodality, and reasoning.
  • These combined gains enable chaining complex exploits that were infeasible months earlier.
ADVICE

Measure First, Defend Second

  • Invest in high-resolution measurement and research to understand emerging model capabilities.
  • Map legacy defenses, identify gaps, and build R&D-backed, cost-effective protections before deployment.
