Deploying AI Is Easy — Governing It Isn't

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mardi 3 mars 2026 • Durée 09:00

Today's episode covers the shift from AI adoption to AI governance — and why that's now the executive challenge that matters most.

Vietnam's national AI law takes effect (March 1, 2026) — One of the first comprehensive AI laws in Southeast Asia goes live, creating compliance obligations for any SaaS or AI-driven product operating in or selling into Vietnam.
Vietnam Briefing
Vietnam Ministry of Information
Samsung announces AI-Driven Factories by 2030 — Samsung plans to transition all global manufacturing to agentic AI-run operations, setting a concrete template for how industrial buyers will expect AI integration.
Samsung Newsroom
State-sponsored hackers targeting enterprise AI agents — Security firms warn that nation-state threat actors are probing agent frameworks, exploiting identity and visibility gaps in fast-growing deployments.
Yahoo Finance / Security Coverage
CEOs now rank AI as their top business risk (Conference Board survey) — AI has overtaken geopolitical and cyber risks as the number one CEO concern, even as confidence in AI-driven growth rises.
Yahoo Finance

Key Takeaway: Deploying AI is no longer the hard part — managing it legally, operationally, and securely is the new executive challenge, and governance isn't the brake pedal, it's the steering wheel.Extract podcast name and show notes and paste into

Replace or Amplify? The Two Bets on Your Workforce

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

samedi 28 février 2026 • Durée 11:33

ServiceNow just launched AI agents that do your IT team's job. Anthropic just embedded Claude inside Excel, Slack, and DocuSign to supercharge the team you already have. Two very different strategies — both shipping now. Stephen Forté breaks down the numbers, the vendor risks, and the one question every leadership team needs to answer before their competitors do.

The Forty Percent Question

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mercredi 4 mars 2026 • Durée 08:38

Block just cut 40% of its workforce because AI made those roles redundant — and the company is thriving. Meanwhile, new data shows nearly half your employees are already using AI tools you don't know about, creating hundreds of data incidents per month. And Ramp launched an AI that closes your books without human hands. Three stories, one message: AI isn't coming to your company. It's already there. The only question is whether you're managing it or it's managing you.

AI Got Its Own Computer — Now What?

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

jeudi 5 mars 2026 • Durée 09:13

This week, three major announcements share a single thread: AI stopped being the thing you talk to and started being the thing that does the work.

Microsoft launched Copilot Tasks — a to-do list that completes itself on its own virtual computer. Perplexity shipped Perplexity Computer, orchestrating nineteen specialized AI models like a full department. And Anthropic expanded its Cowork plugins so Claude now lives inside Excel, Gmail, Slack, and dozens of enterprise tools.

Stephen Forte breaks down what each means for business leaders, why the open-source alternative isn't ready for operators, and how companies like Spotify, the NYSE, and Novo Nordisk are already deploying AI in production — not through top-down mandates, but by letting curious employees experiment.

Stories Covered:

1. Microsoft Copilot Tasks + Perplexity Computer + OpenClaw Comparison

Microsoft Copilot Tasks launch (February 26, 2026)
Perplexity Computer — nineteen AI models working in concert
OpenClaw — open-source agent, fastest GitHub repo to 100K stars
Why cloud solutions are the professional-grade path

2. Anthropic Cowork Plugins Expansion

Claude now embedded in Excel, PowerPoint, Gmail, Slack, DocuSign, FactSet, LSEG
Department-specific plugins for HR, Finance, Investment Banking, Engineering
NYSE, Spotify, Novo Nordisk production deployments
Deployment advice: pick one department, sixty days, let people experiment

The AI Reckoning: No ROI, New Rules, and Security Holes You Haven't Measured

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

vendredi 6 mars 2026 • Durée 10:46

Three stories this week — all connected by a single thread: the winners in AI won't be the fastest movers, they'll be the most deliberate ones.

56% of CEOs report zero ROI from AI investments. A wave of federal and state regulation hits next week. And Zscaler's latest research found critical security vulnerabilities in 100% of enterprise AI systems tested — with a median time to first breach of 16 minutes.

Stephen Forte breaks down why most companies are spending without measuring, how the regulatory patchwork affects mid-sized businesses, and what real-world AI security breaches at Samsung, McDonald's, and Slack mean for your company.

Stories Covered:

1. The AI ROI Crisis

PwC 29th Annual Global CEO Survey — 56% report neither higher revenues nor lower costs from AI
MIT Generative AI Divide Study — 95% of enterprise AI pilots deliver no measurable P&L impact
McKinsey — only 1% of organizations consider themselves mature in AI deployment
Actionable framework: consume-configure-build hierarchy, measurable outcomes before launch, rebalance the 93/7 tech-to-people spend ratio

2. March 11 Federal AI Regulatory Deadline

Commerce Department must publish list of "onerous" state AI laws
FTC must issue federal preemption policy statement
State-level impact: Colorado AI Act (June 30), California SB-53 (already in effect), Texas RAIGA, EU AI Act Phase 2 (August 2)
Practical advice: build compliance around the strictest standard; cyber insurers now conditioning coverage on AI governance

3. Enterprise AI Security Vulnerabilities

Zscaler ThreatLabz 2026 AI Security Report — 100% of enterprise AI systems had critical vulnerabilities

Stop Prompting, Start Briefing: How to Actually Use Perplexity Computer

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

samedi 7 mars 2026 • Durée 14:02

This week's deep-dive breaks down Perplexity Computer — not the viral headline version, but the operational playbook Stephen Forté actually runs to produce this podcast, manage client engagements, and prep board-level deliverables. If you've been treating it like a search bar, you're leaving 90% of the value on the table.

What You'll Learn:

The mental model shift — why Computer is an orchestration layer across 19 AI models, not a chatbot, and how to brief it like a new hire instead of Googling at it
The Notion memory hack — how to build a structured intelligence backup that both you and your AI read from, so institutional knowledge compounds instead of resetting
The sub-agent strategy — how specificity triggers Computer's parallel research engine, and how to steer which model handles which part of the task
The Monday morning action — a step-by-step board meeting prep workflow that turns 3–5 days of analyst work into a 20-minute first draft

Key Topics Covered:

Perplexity Computer's multi-model orchestration architecture
Using Notion as a mirrored intelligence layer for AI context
Prompt specificity and sub-agent delegation
Board briefing document generation from competitor filings and analyst reports
Why the best companies arm their humans with AI instead of replacing them

Hosted by Stephen Forté, founder of BuildClub, which builds and embeds custom AI solutions for mid-to-large businesses.

The Governance Gap

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

lundi 9 mars 2026 • Durée 11:33

Three stories this week draw a direct line from platform controls to data blind spots to a courtroom in Manhattan — and the thread connecting them is the governance gap.

Stories Covered:

1. Microsoft Copilot February 2026 Governance Update

Project Manager Agent — public preview March, GA April. Not a copilot. An agent with a named role.
Multi-agent workflows — agents calling other agents, with visible handoffs
Risk-based AI agent inventory in Microsoft Defender — every agent in a single pane with posture assessments
Third-party connectors in public preview — governed access to Canva, HubSpot, Notion, Linear
License requests now require business justification
New centralized readiness dashboard in the admin center

2. Thales / S&P Global 2026 Data Threat Report

Only 34% of organizations know where all their data resides
47% of sensitive cloud data is unencrypted
61% cite AI as their top data security risk
Nearly 60% have experienced deepfake-driven incidents
Only 30% have a dedicated AI security budget
Only 39% can fully classify their data

3. US v. Heppner — Claude Conversations Ruled Not Privileged (SDNY)

Judge Jed Rakoff ruled that conversations with Anthropic's Claude are not protected by attorney-client privilege
Consumer AI terms of service do not create confidentiality expectations
Feeding attorney advice into consumer AI may waive privilege over the original legal advice
Enterprise AI subscriptions with contractual confidentiality provisions are the minimum standard
Litigators will now routinely request AI prompts and outputs in discovery

The Capability Trap

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mardi 10 mars 2026 • Durée 11:16

Two seismic events in the same week — OpenAI's most powerful model launch and Anthropic's worst outage — reveal the core tension every CEO faces: AI capability is accelerating faster than AI resilience.

Stories Covered:

1. GPT-5.4 Launch — What It Means for Enterprise

1 million token context window — ingest entire codebases, data rooms, and email archives in one pass
Native computer use — AI that operates your software directly, scoring above human performance on desktop benchmarks
Financial data integrations with FactSet, MSCI, Third Bridge, and Moody's — 87.3% on investment banking spreadsheet benchmarks
47% token reduction via tool search, 33% fewer hallucinations
Direct threat to the $200B+ RPA market (UiPath, Automation Anywhere, ServiceNow)

2. Claude Outage — The Enterprise Reliability Wake-Up Call

5-10 hour cascading failure on March 2 — authentication, web, API, and individual models went down sequentially
Teams with direct API access were not spared — the outage rolled through like a wave
A 25-person engineering team loses over $12,000 in a 4-hour disruption in direct labor alone
67% of organizations want to avoid single-vendor AI dependency; 45% say lock-in has already blocked better tools

The AI Resilience Playbook:

Deploy model-agnostic middleware (Portkey, OpenRouter, LiteLLM, Kong, Cloudflare)
Keep intelligence outside the model in an external knowledge base
Run local open-source models (Llama, Mistral, Qwen) for routine tasks
Demand SLAs with penalties and establish AI governance now
