Hey, it’s Marek,

Last month at Singularity University, I made 30 executives build 50 AI prototypes in two hours. No IT backgrounds. Great! But also… No documentation. No maintenance plan.

This episode imagines a near-future Tuesday as an “AI Operations Coordinator” - basically, HR for bots. Fiction, but barely. Every disaster in the story already happened: Air Canada’s chatbot inventing bereavement discounts, Amazon’s pricing algorithms spiralling a biology textbook to $23 million, Zillow’s AI losing $881 million by not adapting to market shifts.

The uncomfortable truth: In six months, your CTO will walk into a board meeting and admit: “We have 400 agents and no idea what most of them do.”

Solution? Make agent governance someone’s problem before it becomes everyone’s crisis.

Stay curious!
