Most companies can’t govern AI agents they can’t see. Once visible, the challenge is keeping them useful without losing control. Host Anna Gressel welcomes Hanah-Marie Darley, co-founder and Chief AI Officer of Geordie AI, to discuss the challenges of monitoring and governing agents at scale. Hanah explains what changes when companies run hundreds of thousands of agents, from high-volume logs to behavior that varies across tasks. She also shares how agent visibility continues to evolve. Looking ahead to 2027, Hanah expects businesses to move beyond large language models toward a broader mix of specialized and efficient models. Tune in to hear what it takes to keep agents productive, secure, and accountable as they spread across enterprise workflows.

For AI companies, the most consequential result of the 2026 midterms may not be a new law but a subpoena. In this special midterm edition, Anna Gressel welcomes Chloe Autio, founder and CEO of AI policy consultancy Autio Strategies, to discuss where AI policy pressure may emerge after Election Day. Chloe explores why data centers have become a campaign flashpoint, and why a Democratic House could bring greater scrutiny of AI companies through congressional investigations, subpoenas, and testimony.

Looking ahead, she flags agentic commerce, including the growing policy questions raised by AI agents transacting on users’ behalf, as a key issue to watch in 2027.
