AI Election Influence, Vulnerability Backlogs and SAP Agents
Techstrong Gang

AI influence campaigns challenge election trust beyond the security of voting infrastructure. We examine government defenses, opinion on AI persuasion and attributed reporting on propaganda production. HackerOne’s findings show vulnerability backlogs growing despite faster remediation. The key question is how teams close the gap between discovery and fixes.
SAP’s Joule Work rollout puts agent orchestration in focus. We examine its workflow ambitions, the distinction between current rollout and planned agent availability, and the role of human oversight.
Host: Mike Vizard. Guests: Jon Swartz, Elizabeth Safran, Robert Reeves and Andi Mann.
