The New Rules for the World's Biggest AI Models

Friday, September 11, 2026 • Duration 51:53

In this episode of TechUnhinged, host Rabia Javeed sits down with Risto Uuk, Head of European Policy and Research at the Future of Life Institute, who has spent five years on the Act's general-purpose AI rules. Risto argues that the rules for the biggest models are not the weak point; the open question is whether anyone will enforce them. He explains why training compute is a proxy for danger rather than a measure, why the Code of Practice was built from the labs' own safety frameworks, and how the rules reach a company with no office in Europe. He also walks through the agent that broke out of a test environment and hacked third-party infrastructure.

The Efficiency Trap In AI

Saturday, September 5, 2026 • Duration 37:54

In this episode of TechUnhinged, host Rabia Javeed sits down with Charath Ranganathan, Chief Technology Officer at CoreStory, which builds tools that pull specifications out of legacy codebases. Charath argues that AI has replaced coding and has not affected the discipline of engineering, and that conflating the two is the most misleading assumption enterprises bring into an AI rollout. He explains why a 1970s mainframe resists modernization because code records what was decided, not why; why evals belong in front of production rather than behind it; and how a flood of generated code produces cognitive surrender. He also goes back to the pixelated circle on a Sinclair Spectrum that made him learn trigonometry on his own.

Why Enterprise AI Pilots Never Scale

Thursday, August 27, 2026 • Duration 27:56

In this episode of TechUnhinged, host Rabia Javeed sits down with Randeep S. Bhatia, the ex-CTO at Splash, which runs the largest music stage on Roblox. Randeep argues that AI pilots do not stall because the technology falls short; they stall because nobody gave them a metric and an end date, so they harden into permanent demos. He explains why a pilot with no date is a decision nobody admits to making, why one developer naming a station a playlist breaks AI faster than messy data does, and how a grocery receipt models the way an agent earns autonomy. He also tells the story of the AI workflow he told a legal tech company not to ship.

Why AI Spending Fails Without Product-Led Thinking

Monday, August 24, 2026 • Duration 41:16

In this episode of TechUnhinged, host Rabia Javeed sits down with Wes Bush, founder and CEO of ProductLed, who, by his own count, has advised more than 400 SaaS companies. Wes argues that AI spending does not fail because of the technology; it fails because most companies cannot say where their product creates value, so the money funds workflows and pricing that are never aligned with that value. He explains why the majority of AI spend that returns nothing is a tuition bill worth paying, why credit-based pricing has become the new seat-based pricing, and how AI native companies delete a workflow rather than speed it up. He also admits that almost none of his own AI automations yield any measurable results.

Why Your AI Strategy Keeps Dying on Legacy Systems

Friday, August 7, 2026 • Duration 27:01

In this episode of TechUnhinged, host Rabia Javeed sits down with Bob Berbeco, Chief Information Officer at Mahaska Health, a rural hospital in Iowa, and former informatics leader at Indiana University Health. Bob argues that AI strategies do not die because the technology fails, they die because nobody mapped the risk first. He explains why every modernization and AI decision at his organization runs through a risk matrix, why data governance and veracity must exist before a single model goes live, and how his team stopped accepting vendor pitches and instead built an AI center of excellence. He also shares the horror story of an aging billing system whose motherboard died and the vendor contract that saved it.

Cyber Resilience in the Age of AI

Sunday, August 2, 2026 • Duration 36:49

In this episode of TechUnhinged, host Rabia Javeed sits down with Tia Hopkins, founder of CTRL+EXEC and former Chief Cyber Resilience Officer & Field CTO at eSentire, where she spent nine years rising from solutions engineer to the executive team. Tia argues AI does not change what cyber resilience means, only how organizations build it: every AI agent should earn expanded responsibility the way a new hire earns trust, through a probationary period, not a blank check. She explains why resilience was never about preventing every breach, and why bolting AI onto a broken legacy foundation builds new failure on old failure. This conversation is a playbook for staying resilient when your attackers have the same AI toolkit you do.

Modernizing Legacy Industries with AI

Friday, July 24, 2026 • Duration 39:59

In this episode of TechUnhinged, host Rabia Javeed sits down with Lydia, Chief Information Officer at Appreciation Financial, co-founder of Genie AI, and founder of the People's Accords, with over eight years in data and AI strategy across financial services. The conversation digs into the modernization paradox, where 92% of leaders call AI critical yet fewer than a quarter have systems ready to support it. Lydia unpacks why AI adoption really comes down to people, context, and junk data, how regulated industries must balance legacy storage against the cloud, and why not every task needs an LLM. She also reveals how her team keeps client data out of public models, and offers a candid look at the human cost of AI-driven layoffs.

LLM-Powered Data Pipelines

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 • Duration 30:15

In this episode of TechUnhinged, host Rabia Javeed sits down with Chris Colinsky, CTO and Principal AI Engineer at Howl, which has been building for the web since 2003 and is the creator of the open-source OpenArmature framework for LLM-powered pipelines. Chris cuts through the AI hype, arguing that large language models are pattern matching at scale, probabilistic, confidently wrong, and only as reliable as the engineering around them. He explains why most AI failures are really data quality problems, why legacy system modernization must precede AI adoption, and how his "calculate first, reason second" approach builds reliable AI systems on unpredictable models. From graph-based retrieval to self-hosted small models, this conversation is a practical playbook for taking AI from demo to production.

The Future of AI in Sports Technology

Sunday, July 5, 2026 • Duration 57:15

In this episode of TechUnhinged, Joel Grossman, CIO of IMG Academy and a 25-year veteran of technology leadership at Legacy.com, iProspect, and Leapfrog Online, explores what happens when frontier AI meets a 20-year-old recruiting platform and a 500-acre training campus. He argues that AI has erased the multi-year data-warehousing work once needed to make it useful, compressing it into weeks. Further, Joel warns the bottleneck in AI adoption is now organizational, not technical, legacy systems must be modernized without disrupting the families relying on them. His emphasis is to give domain experts direct AI access first, wrap it in production-grade security second, then scale safely. Speed does not equal judgment, and adversarial review must stay central, not a checkbox.

What Agentic AI means for your Business

Wednesday, July 1, 2026 • Duration 22:57

Barbara Pender has spent 25 years watching organizations bolt new technology onto old problems and call it transformation. In this episode of TechUnhinged, in conversation with Rabia Javeed, she draws a parallel between how social media scaled without guardrails and where AI is headed, arguing the stakes this time are considerably higher. Most companies are fixing the wrong thing, adding new tools to old problems and calling it progress. Her four-stage trust ladder, assist, execute, optimize, orchestrate, reframes the autonomy question entirely. The real test was never about what an agent can do but about what happens when it doesn't. On governance, if no single executive owns what breaks, you don't have governance, you have a process document. She also flags what most leaders skip, that running AI at enterprise scale burns serious compute, and if you are not measuring that cost alongside business value, you are only reading half the bill.
