AI Diatribe

Everyone is deploying AI. Almost nobody is governing it.In Episode 26 of AI Diatribe, Host Jason Lowe (Aptivon) and Co-Host Matt Konwiser (IBM) talk with Brian Allen from the AI RegRisk Think Tank about the uncomfortable reality behind AI adoption: If AI makes a bad decision, who gets blamed?This episode explores:Why AI governance is becoming a board-level responsibilityThe legal risks companies face if they ignore governanceHow Shadow AI is quietly spreading through organizationsWhy AI risk is fundamentally different from past technology wavesThe real meaning of “informed decision making” in AI leadershipAI doesn’t eliminate responsibility. It redistributes it across the entire organization. And most companies aren’t ready.#AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AIGovernance #AIRisk #AIRegulation #AILeadership #ResponsibleAI #EthicalAI

AI Diatribe explores one of the most important questions of our time: Are we outsourcing judgment to systems we cannot fully explain? What happens when AI becomes more than a tool—and starts becoming an authority?Religious authority gave way to reason. Reason gave way to mathematics. Now mathematics is giving way to machine intelligence. In this episode of AI Diatribe, Jason Lowe, Matt Konwiser, and Wissam Kahi examine the real stakes of AI: energy consumption, sovereign AI, job displacement, and the distribution of value in an automated economy.They debate whether AI can truly “elevate humanity,” or whether we risk drifting into passivity as machines handle more decision-making. If AI replaces radiologists, port workers, and knowledge professionals, what is humanity’s final frontier? Civic action? Creativity? Wisdom?A forward-looking, honest discussion about trust, power, and the long arc of technological change.#ArtificialIntelligence #AIGovernance #FutureOfWork #Sustainability #EthicsInAI #AIDiatribe

Nature says we’ve surpassed Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI. But there’s just one issue: nobody can define it.David Borish of Trace3 joins Matt Konwiser of IBM and AI Diatribe Host Jason Lowe to dissect the growing claim that Artificial General Intelligence is already here - and whether that statement even means anything.In this episode we explore:- The probabilistic nature of LLMs- Why “reasoning” might not be reasoning- Swarm intelligence experiments like Moltbook- The Turing Test and shifting benchmarks- And which industry collapses next after softwaredevelopmentIf AI can already do 90% of a physicist’s work… does theacronym matter? The labels may be less important than the consequences.#AIDiatribe #ArtificialIntelligence #AGI #ArtificialGeneralIntelligence #AITrends #AIFuture

AI isn’t just changing cybersecurity - it’s forcing a complete rewrite of how defense works.In this AI Diatribe episode AgileBlue CEO Tony Pietrocola, IBM Field CTO Matt Konwiser, and AI Diatribe Creator and Host Jason Lowe dive into agentic AI, autonomous security operations, and why human-only cyber defense is no longer viable. As attackers industrialize AI, defenders are being pushed toward AI-native security models that can investigate, decide, and respond in minutes - not hours.We explore where autonomy fits, where humans must stay in the loop, and why cybersecurity may be one of the few industries where AI doesn’t replace jobs - it exposes how badly understaffed we already are.This episode isn’t about hype or demos. It’s about what’s actually working - and what breaks if organizations get this wrong.#AIDiatribe #ArtificialIntelligence #AgenticAI #Cybersecurity#AISecurity #AutonomousAI  

Everyone says they’re using AI for customer experience - but most of it still feels broken. In this episode AI Diatribe Host Jason Lowe, Joe Dean of ServiceNow, and Matt Konwiser of IBM dig into why AI-driven CX fails so often, why the problem usually isn’t the technology, and how agentic systems are changing enterprise workflows behind the scenes.From ServiceNow workflows to guardrails, hallucinations, hyper-personalization, and human-in-the-loop tradeoffs, this conversation separates real value from AI theater - with a detour into Star Wars vs. Star Trek to frame where this all might be headed.#AIDiatribe #CustomerExperience #AIinCX #EnterpriseAI #AgenticAI

What are the odds that AI leads to humanity's doom? We tackle P-DOOM scores head-on, from pessimistic 80% predictions to cautiously optimistic 50-50 splits. Discover why Geoffrey Hinton thinks maternal instinct might be the key to peaceful AI coexistence, why HAL 9000 wasn't actually evil, and how exponential slope blindness prevents us from seeing what's really coming. We explore everything from chancla wielding robot mothers to the critical skills that will keep humans relevant in an AI-dominated world. This isn't your typical AI hype conversation—it's a raw, provocative look at whether we're building our saviors or our replacements. #PDOOM #ArtificialIntelligence #AIFuture #ExponentialGrowth#AGI

Cybersecurity teams aren’t buying the AI hype - and there’s a reason for that. In Part 1 of this two-part episode, AI Diatribe Host Jason Lowe (Aptivon) is joined by Matt Konwiser (IBM) and Alex Hurtado (Anvilogic) to break down why AI credibility matters more in security than almost anywhere else, why SOC teams can’t “fake the funk,” and how generative AI is being misused - and misunderstood.From SOC tiers and SIEM overload to MITRE frameworks, alert fatigue, and critical thinking decline, this conversation digs into where AI belongs, where it doesn’t, and how security teams can use it to move faster without surrendering judgment. #AIDiatribe #Cybersecurity #AISecurity #SOC #SIEM#DetectionEngineering #SecurityOperations

Something is seriously wrong in the GTM (Go-To-Market) world. Quotas are sinking, automation is backfiring, and AI-generated noise is drowning out real human connection. AI Diatribe host Jason Lowe and Dr. Amy Osmond Cook,  break down what’s actually happening behind the scenes - and why the companies that embrace authentic communication, strategic RevOps, and AI-enabled sellers will dominate the next decade.This is a wide-ranging, high-energy conversation covering AI coaching, forecasting, territory design, the collapse of the SDR role, and the return of human-first selling.

AI can ace the LSAT. It can write essays in seconds. So what's left for human students to actually learn? David Petersen, who's been implementing AI in universities since before it was cool (or controversial), breaks down what education looks like when every student learns at the edge of their capability. Jason and David explore the messy reality of AI in the classroom—from spectacular hallucinations to the 99th percentile results at Alpha School, where students spend two hours daily with an AI instructor alongside their traditional teaching, pushing each learner to their optimal challenge level while human educators focus on fostering creativity, collaboration, and real-world skills. If you're an educator, student, or parent wondering whether to embrace or resist AI in learning, this conversation will give you a roadmap for the inevitable future that's already here.#AIinEducation #EdTech #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfLearning #PersonalizedLearning #HigherEducation #AITools #EducationInnovation #TeachingWithAI #AIDiatribe

AI has exploded in education, but we're flying blind. Thisepisode confronts the uncomfortable reality that most students are using AI tools while their institutions scramble to catch up – in fact, 86% of students use AI tools but only 10% of institutions have guidelines. Lance Eaton (Northeastern University's Senior Associate Director of AI in Teaching and Learning) and Matt Konwiser (Field CTO at IBM) join AI Diatribe Host Jason Lowe to dissect why governance lags behind adoption and how the academic world differs from corporate AI use.  If you care about the future of education, this conversation will challenge your assumptions.#AIinEducation #HigherEd #AcademicIntegrity #EdTech #GenerativeAI #FutureOfLearning #AIGovernance #StudentSuccess #WorkforceReadiness #EducationInnovation
