The Fragile Stack: What DeepSeek and Antigravity Reveal About AI’s Hidden Risks
Artificial intelligence now sits at the foundation of modern software development and digital services. It writes code, automates workflows, manages integration layers, supports system administration, and increasingly operates as an autonomous component inside production environments. But as AI becomes woven into the core of technical architectures, a new class of vulnerabilities is emerging. These failures do not come from bugs or misconfigurations. They stem from how models interpret context, resolve contradictions, infer trust, and act with delegated authority.
We are not anticipating fragility. We are encountering fragility that already exists.
Compound Leadership: Managing AI Agents Without Losing Control
In the end, the technology is not the differentiator, leadership is.
Compound leadership isn’t just how you manage AI; it’s how you evolve your organization’s intelligence. Each decision compounds the next, turning governance into momentum and foresight into advantage.
Build Secure-by-Design Tech Before the AI Vulnerability Cataclysm Hits
The next tech bubble will not burst because of weak markets but because of weak security.
In the time it takes your startup to push a code update, an AI system can now find and exploit dozens of vulnerabilities.
This is not theoretical. It is the new threat landscape.
From Risk to ROI: Elevating AI Procurement Through the Vendor Assessment Framework
At CAS Strategies, we believe that trust and value go hand in hand. Responsible innovation isn’t just about reducing risk—it’s about unlocking performance, scalability, and confidence in the systems we adopt. That’s why we’re proud to support the Data & Trust Alliance (D&TA) in launching the AI Vendor Assessment Framework (VAF)—a cross-industry guide that helps organizations evaluate third-party AI vendors on both risk and return
Press Release: Parents Get First Toolkit to Help Kids Navigate AI, Cyberbullying, and New Online Threats
The Raising Digital Natives Toolkit helps parents & educators build kids’ digital fluency, safety, and resilience in today’s evolving tech landscape
When Security Is Doing Everyone’s Job
Once, security was a defined discipline—a tight set of technical practices meant to keep systems safe. Today, it’s the junk drawer for every responsibility no one else wants to own.
The trust and safety work stripped from platforms for political expediency? Security now has to pick it up to succeed. The resilience planning deprioritized in favor of speed? Security must step in and own it. The ethical guardrails quietly written out of AI procurement rules? Security can’t ignore them because without that work, defense will fail.
The word security is doing too much work.
And the people holding the line are carrying a load no one team should sustain but if they must, they need to do it intentionally and strategically, because here’s why.
Power in Purposeful AI: You Don’t Need a Foundation Model to Lead in AI
As AI reshapes global power, prosperity, and public trust, I’ve been testing a theory. What if leadership in the AI era isn’t about size, but clarity? What if the countries best positioned to benefit aren’t those with the most compute, but those with the sharpest sense of purpose?
That theory gained strength at the 2024 Global Action Forum, where I engaged with leaders from Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. The conversations were clear: the appetite to lead is there. The question is how.
Siliconsciousness podcast: “Rethinking the AI Agenda for the US and the World”
Creating new policy around a cutting edge issue like AI is tricky. How can we balance the needs of innovation and regulation. More importantly, how do we sure that not person, or country, is left behind? Former White House official Camille Stewart Gloster joins David Rothkopf to discuss these pressing issues and more on Siliconsciousness podcast.
