On this episode of Masters of Data, we revisit the predictions Adam White, Zoe Hawkins, and David Girvin made at the end of last year, checking our own scorecard halfway through 2026. The hits: agents running amok and deleting databases, MCP becoming the backbone for tracking what agents actually do, growing security gaps around personal data, and a collective rejection of low-quality AI content. The misses: we underestimated how fast companies would cut staff for AI, then quietly start rehiring once the agents couldn't cover the work, and we're still arguing about whether token burn is a cost problem or a coming attack vector.

In this episode of Masters of Data, we get into the messier side of AI adoption, tackling questions like who actually owns the output when AI gets it wrong, and whether chasing efficiency is making us forget what it means to be human in the first place. We discuss tech CEOs proudly announcing they no longer think for themselves and debate whether AI is quietly eroding our critical thinking skills. We make the case that purpose-built, narrow AI is genuinely exciting, but that no efficiency gain is worth losing the human touch that makes work, connection, and creativity meaningful.

In this episode of Masters of Data, we explore how banks and fintech companies have traded friendly neighborhood tellers for data-driven, always-on digital fortresses. We unpack everything from sophisticated phishing schemes and viral TikTok check fraud trends to the AI-powered tools that now handle the fraud detection Shirley the bank teller used to manage through sheer familiarity. We make the case that financial institutions today face more pressure than ever to be trustworthy, secure, and seamless all at once, whether their customers are logging into a sleek app or calling a landline to pay two bills a month.

In this episode of Masters of Data, we dig into the cybersecurity nightmare that is modern healthcare IT, from ransomware attacks shutting down entire hospitals to IoT medical devices running software older than some of our passwords. We explore why healthcare organizations make such attractive targets for cybercriminals, and why the combination of life-or-death stakes, skeleton-crew security teams, and Windows-95-era equipment is a recipe for chaos.
