We start with a warning about a new cybersecurity blind spot: AI browser agents. Then, we break down the leadership shift at $32 billion-valued startup Safe Superintelligence, where Ilya Sutskever has stepped into the CEO role. Next, we spotlight Glasswing Ventures’ Kleida Martiro and her advice to AI founders on how to raise capital without relying on outdated SaaS-era metrics. Finally, we head to Penn State, where a revolutionary AI-powered flood model is changing how we predict and manage natural disasters. Whether you're building AI, investing in it, or tracking its real-world impact—this episode offers timely insights you won’t want to miss.
