In this episode of the Targeting AI podcast from AI Business, host Esther Shittu interviews Oren Michels, of 2024 startup Barndoor.ai, an AI data and access management vendor, about how to effectively secure enterprise agentic and generative AI systems. The approach is different from traditional cybersecurity paradigms designed to prevent outside intruders from doing harm within an organization's IT system, according to Michels. With agents, security procedures need to focus on the agents themselves to ensure they are performing as their human counterparts intend. The podcast was recorded at the AI Summit conference in New York City on Dec. 10.

How the legal profession can benefit from AI technology
In the couple of years since the popularization of ChatGPT, generative AI technology has quickly taken hold in the legal profession. It has backfired in some cases, such as when an attorney filed a legal brief written with ChatGPT's help and the AI platform hallucinated some of the cases in the brief. That case and others have led some law firms to block general access to AI tools. Most recently, Hill Dickinson, a law firm in the U.K., asked its staff not to use generative AI tools like ChatGPT.

The most recent example is the AI Chinese startup DeepSeek. While most AI cloud providers like Google, AWS and Microsoft now offer the DeepSeek-R1 reasoning model, many AI experts believe that enterprises might be hesitant to use it due to the data it was trained on. Despite DeepSeek's R1's innovation, it all comes down to the foundation, said Michelle Bonat, chief AI officer at...

Autonomous AI agents on the rise
This is the year of AI agents. The last few months of 2024 brought much talk about and expectations for AI agents that can operate autonomously and semi-autonomously. Many vendors have capitalized on the enthusiasm to introduce new agentic products: Salesforce came out with Agentforce, and Microsoft introduced Copilot agents. With 2025 here, questions about whether the momentum on agents will continue. Some see the agentic hype, and real progress, persisting this year. Craig Le Clair, a Forrester Research analyst and author of the soon-to-be-published book Random Acts of Automation, is among those who think...
