  • Your AI agents might be making decisions you can’t see

    Your AI agents might be making decisions you can’t see
    Jun 16 2026
    AI agents promise to automate everything from research and customer support to sales and business operations. But what happens when those agents start making decisions on their own? In this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw sits down with Postman co-founder and CEO Abhinav Asthana to explore one of the biggest unanswered questions in AI: can we actually control autonomous agents? They discuss AI hallucinations, API security risks, MCP, agent-to-agent communication, accountability, emerging "agent manager" roles, and why the next generation of software may be harder to govern than anything we've built before. Topics include: * Why AI agents are gaining autonomy faster than companies can govern them * The hidden risks of API keys, permissions, and machine identities * How one agent's hallucination can become another agent's truth * Why enterprises need guardrails before deploying agents at scale * The rise of agent managers and AI governance teams * Who is responsible when an AI agent makes a costly mistake? If your organization is exploring agentic AI, this conversation highlights the opportunities, risks, and hard questions every business leader should be asking.

  • AI is Creating More Code, But is it Breaking Software?

    AI is Creating More Code, But is it Breaking Software?
    Jun 9 2026
    AI coding tools promise faster software development, but speed may be creating a new problem: lower-quality software at scale. In this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw speaks with Dan Faulkner, CEO of SmartBear, about why AI-generated code could be outpacing the testing, review and quality controls needed to keep software reliable. Faulkner explains why business leaders could be confusing faster coding with better software development, how “automation bias” can lead developers to trust AI output too quickly, and why intent validation may become a critical new step in the software development lifecycle. They also discuss the risks of AI-generated bugs, weak testing processes, security vulnerabilities, “slop squatting,” and whether the industry is heading toward a high-profile software failure caused by unchecked AI code generation. #todayintech #artificialintelligence #aicoding #qualityassurance Follow TECH(talk) for the latest tech news and discussion!

  • AI Can Write the Sales Pitch, But Can it Close the Deal?

    AI Can Write the Sales Pitch, But Can it Close the Deal?
    Jun 2 2026
    Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing the world of sales, from automating CRM updates and RFP responses to generating outreach emails and analyzing negotiations. But as AI becomes more autonomous, a bigger question has emerged: what parts of sales should still stay human? In this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw speaks with Ray Meiring, CEO of QorusDocs, about the future of AI in enterprise sales, the rise of agentic AI workflows, and why trust, empathy, and human relationships still matter in high-stakes business deals. The discussion explores how AI is transforming RFPs, automating administrative work, accelerating prospecting, and even preparing sales teams for negotiations. But it also looks at the growing risks of over-trusting AI, the creepiness factor of hyper-personalized selling, and why complex enterprise deals may still depend on handshakes, conversations, and human judgment. Topics include: • Agentic AI and autonomous sales workflows • How AI is changing enterprise RFP processes • Why AI works best for transactional tasks • The future of buyer-to-seller AI interactions • Trust, empathy, and emotional intelligence in sales • The risks of AI-generated communication • Why trade shows and in-person relationships may matter even more Subscribe for more conversations on AI, enterprise technology, cybersecurity, and the future of work.
