    Robotics & Hard Tech Talent Search | Host of Machine Minds

    🎙️ Episode 75 of the Machine Minds Show features Chester Leung, Co-Founder & Head of Platform Architecture at Opaque Systems - focused on using confidential computing to keep AI workloads private and secure. I’ve always wondered who might peek at sensitive data behind the scenes. Most of us trust these systems day after day without giving it a second thought. Yet when we hand over our details, we never fully know what’s happening. Opaque Systems aims to give companies the power of advanced analytics and AI - while locking down the data behind tough security measures. This isn’t about fancy buzzwords. It’s about building trust in how we share and process information. If we want AI to help us, we need to be able to blindly trust it's confidentiality. You can find this and all other episodes on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, and YouTube.

    I talk about the future of our ASL-4 protections in this podcast!

    This week's podcast with Jason Clinton from Anthropic is a banger. "Consider the probability of data exposure as AI systems multiply. Even with a seemingly small 1% risk of data exposure per AI agent, the math becomes alarming at scale. With 10 inter-operating agents, the probability of at least one breach jumps to 9.6%. With 100 agents, it soars to 63%. At 1,000 agents? The probability approaches virtual certainty at 99.99%. This isn't just theoretical—as organizations deploy AI agents across their infrastructure as "virtual employees," these risks compound rapidly. The mathematical reality is unforgiving: without the guarantees that confidential computing provides, the danger becomes untenable at scale."

    I had an excellent conversation with Will Grannis on AI Confidential, which went deep into enterprise AI adoption. Will (VP & CTO of Google Cloud) shared a fascinating story that perfectly captures why I love doing this podcast. https://lnkd.in/gP_Pb7SF Remember the Wendy's drive-thru AI project? Turns out that seemingly simple implementation became Google Cloud's blueprint for transformative AI solutions across industries. Will was there from the beginning - one of the first GCP employees before it was even called GCP - and his insights on moving from "Terminator to Baconator" reveal how real enterprise AI innovation often emerges from unexpected places. What struck me most was Will's practical optimism about AI. While many focus on hypotheticals, Will shared concrete examples of how enterprise AI moves from pilot to production, emphasizing the critical role of trust, control, and grounding in "enterprise truth." His perspective comes from years of hands-on experience helping 250+ customers across banking, healthcare, retail, and public sectors adopt complex technologies. 🎙️ In this episode, we dive deep into: * Why trust and control are non-negotiable for enterprise AI adoption * How Google Cloud's approach to AI safety and security evolved * Real stories of AI transformation from drive-thrus to contact centers * Practical frameworks for scaling AI in regulated industries For tech leaders navigating the AI landscape, this conversation offers a unique glimpse into how one of tech's most influential architects thinks about responsible AI deployment.
