ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode, Sagar Batchu, CEO of Speakeasy, explains how the Speakeasy AI control plane lets organizations adopt AI everywhere and still prove it's governed — putting every agent, tool, and MCP server behind a single security layer that authenticates each action, enforces policy, and inspects every session for prompt injection and data exfiltration. Pressure-testing the approach are George Finney, CISO at The University of Texas System, and Nick Espinosa, host of The Deep Dive Radio Show.
Want to know:- Why is knowing what your AI agent can access still an unsolved problem, and how much of it traces back to the identity and data governance we never fixed for humans?
- Should an AI agent ever be allowed to take an action no individual can fully understand, even when it's statistically more effective than the human alternative?
- Where's the line between legitimate governance and surveillance, and how do you assure employees you're not building a panopticon?
- Are there decisions and departments that should stay permanently in human hands, off-limits to agents entirely?
- When an agent acts through a company's API and something goes wrong, who's actually responsible: the employee, the company, the model developer, the API provider, or the governance platform?
- Could a control plane have flagged the week's biggest AI incident before it escalated?
- Is adopting this really as simple as switching on enterprise settings and plugging in an API, whether you're an SMB or the Fortune 1?
- What is "cognitive surrender," and why does Speakeasy's CEO think it's the one quality companies most need to protect?
