06-Feb-2026
Alan Shimel, Mike Vizard, Mitch Ashley, Fred Wilmot, Jon Swartz and Jack Poller break down three big shifts shaping tech and business this week.
First, the gang digs into why AI is no longer an “experiment” at the Super Bowl—it’s becoming a default layer in advertising strategy, creative production and campaign execution.
Next, the conversation turns to the cybersecurity risks of AI agents, including the growing concern around tools like MoltBolt/OpenClaw and what happens when “extreme utility” collides with enterprise risk, shadow adoption and data exposure.
Finally, the gang looks ahead at the future of DevOps in the age of AI—how roles, workflows and delivery expectations change when AI is embedded in planning, coding, testing, security and operations.
