80% of organizations are already deploying AI agents. Only 10% feel they have control. This documentary asks why — and what happens if we do not act now. Hosted by Alex Kantrowitz, founder of Big Technology, the film goes directly to the people who live and breathe this technology every day: MIT professor Ramesh Raskar, former Alibaba executive Sharon Gai, Michelin's Group Chief Data and AI Officer Ambica Rajagopal, former White House Chief Information Officer Theresa Payton, and Gravitee CEO Rory Blundell. Produced by Casual Films — the team behind work for the NBA, The Wall Street Journal, and Bloomberg — and shot across MIT, Washington D.C., New York, and Lyon. Independent research of 750 CIOs, CTOs and engineering leaders across the US and UK found that just 1 in 3 AI agents already in production are running with zero human oversight, and only 7% of organisations have anyone formally accountable when something goes wrong. 🎥 Watch the full film and explore who is in the documentary: https://www.gravitee.io/ai-agent-documentary 📄 Read the full research and data behind the documentary: https://www.gravitee.io/state-of-ai-agent-security
Alex Stamos is the former chief security officer of Facebook and the chief product officer at Corridor, and one of the most authoritative voices on cybersecurity in the AI era. Stamos joins Big Technology Podcast live from the Big Technology AI Summit to discuss whether the government-mandated recall of Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models reflects a real cyber threat or industry marketing. Tune in to hear Stamos argue that the true AI cybersecurity breakthrough came a year ago with the Opus 4 and GPT-5 series, why he believes the recall makes little technical sense when models like GPT-5 and China’s Kimi can find the same bugs unrefused, and why he warns “we lost a war this weekend.” We also cover the line between bug-finding and exploit-creation, what Amazon actually found in Fable, the open letter signed by 150 researchers, the national security case for and against export controls, and what all of this means for America’s competitive position against China.

That backdrop set the agenda for a full day of news-making conversations about where AI is actually headed: what the technology does next, what happens if it works, and what happens if it doesn't. Aaron Levie opens by arguing the recall may be the closest thing yet to the "AI pause" critics have demanded — and why it could hand China the long-term economic edge. Anissa Gardizy, Max Cherney, and Lauren Goode break down the great AI infrastructure buildout: which announced data centers will actually get built, whether Nvidia can hold its lead, and what a TSMC disruption would mean for everyone. Dallas Dolen takes us inside enterprise AI budgets, the looming price war, and why "outcome maxing" is replacing "tokenmaxing." Ranjan Roy joins for a live Big Technology Podcast Friday edition. Alex Stamos delivers the day's sharpest news, arguing the real cyber Rubicon was crossed a year ago and that the Fable recall makes no technical sense. Mike Krieger offers a rare look inside Anthropic Labs the week its best model disappeared. And Greg Brockman closes with OpenAI's vision of a world where the interface melts away and compute decides everything. Hosted by Alex Kantrowitz.

Anthropic's Labs Lead On Fable's Capabilities + Building AI-Native Products — With Mike Krieger
40:43
Mike Krieger is the head of Anthropic Labs and co-founder of Instagram. Krieger joins Big Technology Podcast live from the Big Technology AI Summit to discuss what it's like inside Anthropic the week the government forced the company to pull its frontier models, Fable and Mythos, off the market. Tune in to hear Krieger describe how working with Fable changed the way he builds — queuing up a full night of work before bed and waking to find it finished in an hour — why he insists Anthropic's safety warnings are material rather than marketing, and how Anthropic navigates being both a platform and a product as it competes with the companies building on top of it. Wired senior correspondent Lauren Goode joins as a co-interviewer. Hit play for a rare look inside the lab from the person building Anthropic's next breakout product. --- AI Agents documentary: https://www.gravitee.io/ai-agent-documentary
