AI is changing how software is built, but it is also quietly breaking how security works.

In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith sits down with Subho Halder, co-founder and CEO of Appknox, to unpack a growing and largely invisible risk. AI-powered mobile apps that look safe but are not.

Subho explains how the explosion of ChatGPT-style app wrappers, agentic AI, and rapid app creation has transformed software from static code into living systems, and why traditional security models no longer hold up. From fake AI apps harvesting personal data to AI agents lowering the barrier for attackers, this conversation explores the real-world consequences of AI at scale.

You will also hear why trust has become a core security metric, how app stores struggle to detect malicious behavior, and why developer burnout is rising as AI-generated code shifts risk downstream instead of removing it.

This episode is essential listening for founders, developers, security leaders, and anyone building or relying on AI-powered applications.

Construction is one of the least digitized industries in the world, and not because it resists technology. It resists bad technology.

In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Olek Paraska, CTO of Togal AI, to break down why construction productivity has barely improved in 50 years and why pre-construction is the real bottleneck holding the industry back.

Olek explains how most estimating and takeoff work is still done manually, why automating this phase can unlock massive efficiency gains, and how AI works best in construction when it acts as a perception and reasoning layer rather than a replacement for human judgment.

The conversation explores computer vision, agentic AI, human-in-the-loop systems, and why respecting real-world constraints is essential for AI to deliver real ROI. It also looks ahead to a future where floor plans, materials, costs, and constructability can be reasoned about together, long before construction begins.

This episode is a deep dive into how AI can finally move construction forward by solving the right problems, in the right order.

In this episode of the Eye on AI Podcast, Craig Smith sits down with Steve Brown, founder of CureWise, to explore how agentic AI is reshaping healthcare from the patient's perspective.

Steve shares the deeply personal story behind CureWise, born out of his own experience with a rare cancer diagnosis that was repeatedly missed by traditional medical pathways. The conversation dives into why modern healthcare struggles with complex, edge-case conditions, how fragmented medical data and time-constrained systems fail patients, and where AI can meaningfully help without replacing clinicians.

The discussion goes deep into multi-agent AI systems, reliability through consensus, large context windows, and how AI can surface better questions rather than premature answers. Steve explains why patient education is the real unlock for better outcomes, how precision medicine depends on individualized data and genetics, and why empowering patients leads to stronger collaboration with doctors.

This episode offers a grounded, practical look at AI's role in healthcare, not as a diagnostic shortcut, but as a tool for clarity, context, and better decision-making in some of the most critical moments of car

AI is getting smarter, but now it needs better judgment.

In this episode of the Eye on AI Podcast, we speak with Robbie Goldfarb, former Meta product leader and co-founder of Forum AI, about why treating AI as a truth engine is one of the most dangerous assumptions in modern artificial intelligence.

Robbie brings first-hand experience from Meta's trust and safety and AI teams, where he worked on misinformation, elections, youth safety, and AI governance. He explains why large language models shouldn't be treated as arbiters of truth, why subjective domains like politics, health, and mental health pose serious risks, and why more data does not solve the alignment problem.

The conversation breaks down how AI systems are evaluated today, how engagement incentives create sycophantic and biased models, and why trust is becoming the biggest barrier to real AI adoption. Robbie also shares how Forum AI is building expert-driven AI evaluation systems that scale human judgment instead of crowd labels, and why transparency about who trains AI matters more than ever.

This episode explores AI safety, AI trust, model evaluation, expert judgment, mental health risks, misinformation, and the future of responsible AI deployment.

If you are building, deploying, regulating, or relying on AI systems, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about intelligence, truth, and responsibility.

In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith sits down with Jarrod Johnson, Chief Customer Officer at TaskUs, to unpack how agentic AI is changing customer service from conversations to real action.

They explore what agentic AI actually is, why chatbots were only the first step, and how enterprises are deploying AI systems that resolve issues, execute tasks, and work alongside human teams at scale.

The conversation covers real-world use cases, the economics of AI-driven support, why many enterprise AI pilots fail, and how human roles evolve when AI takes on routine work.

A grounded look at where customer experience, enterprise AI, and the future of support are heading.

Inference is now the biggest challenge in enterprise AI.

In this episode of Eye on AI, Craig Smith speaks with Nick Pandher, VP of Product at Cirrascale, about why AI is shifting from model training to inference at scale. As AI moves into production, enterprises are prioritizing performance, latency, reliability, and cost efficiency over raw compute.

The conversation covers the rise of inference-first infrastructure, the limits of hyperscalers, the emergence of neoclouds, and how agentic AI is driving always-on inference workloads. Nick also explains how inference-optimized hardware and serverless AI platforms are shaping the future of enterprise AI deployment.

If you are deploying AI in production, this episode explains why inference is the real frontier.

In this episode of Eye on AI, we sit down with Evan Reiser, co-founder and CEO of Abnormal AI, to unpack how AI has fundamentally changed the cybersecurity landscape.

We explore why social engineering remains the most costly form of cybercrime, how generative AI has lowered the barrier for sophisticated attacks, and why humans have become the primary attack surface in modern security. Evan explains why traditional, signature-based defenses fall short, how behavioral AI detects threats that have never existed before, and what it means to build security systems that understand how people actually work and communicate.

The conversation also looks ahead at the AI arms race between attackers and defenders, the economics driving cybercrime, and what it truly means to be an AI-native company operating at scale.

This episode is a deep dive into the human side of AI security and why the future of cybersecurity depends less on code and more on behavior.

Jonathan explains why agents behave very differently from traditional servers, why giving agents their own isolated computers unlocks new capabilities, and how agent-native infrastructure is emerging as a critical layer of the AI stack. The conversation also covers scaling agents in production, building trust through benchmarking and human-in-the-loop workflows, and what agent-driven systems mean for the future of enterprise work.
