  Oct 1, 202619 min

  Today, we're talking to Mohak Shroff, former SVP of Engineering at LinkedIn. We discuss why the smartest use of AI agents is giving professionals more agency rather than replacing them, how delegating to an agent should look a lot like onboarding a new hire, and what it takes to build the thing that was impossible before instead of making the familiar 20% better.

  Tech Titans: How Can a Chatbot Steal a Model's Secrets? with Steve Orrin, Federal CTO at Intel

  Sep 28, 202618 min

  Everyone's arguing about whether AI will replace 90% of your job. Steve Orrin, federal CTO at Intel, says that's the wrong number to even be worried about. We discuss how a $25 million deepfake of a bank's own CFO exposed a whole new category of cyberattack, why sprinkling "AI pixie dust" on a problem doesn't actually solve anything, and why, thirty years into being a CTO, his best advice still comes down to surrounding yourself with people smarter than you. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast!
