25-Mar-2026
Techstrong Group's Alan Shimel sits down with legendary science fiction author David Brin to explore the staggering real-world implications of agentic AI. Brin warns that the tech industry is repeating a 50-year-old architectural mistake by failing to separate data from commands, resulting in "amorphous" AI models that lack the crucial individuation needed for true accountability. Discussing his newly released book, AIlien Minds, Brin argues that the only way to survive the coming wave of predatory AI is to mandate unique digital licenses for every agent and deploy "white hat" AI to fight the bad actors on our behalf.
