AI coding agents can already reach well beyond the code in front of them. Through connections to tools like Slack, Jira, and Sentry, an agent can pull in issues, discussions, and production signals from across an organization. However, that context is scattered across many separate systems, with no shared map of how it all connects and no common controls over what an agent is...

SED News is a monthly podcast from Software Engineering Daily where hosts Gregor Vand and Sean Falconer break down the biggest stories shaping software engineering, Silicon Valley, and the broader tech industry.

In this episode, Gregor and Sean cover the PHP remote code execution flaw that hit an estimated 70 percent of the internet, the recording device an

Demis Hassabis founded DeepMind in 2010, before machines could reliably tell a cat from a dog. He believed that artificial general intelligence was achievable, and that it should be built safely and deliberately. Along the way, Hassabis shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for AlphaFold, the system that cracked the fifty-year problem of predicting protein structures. Fift...

Instead, there are overlapping circles of regulation, where privacy, cybersecurity, consumer protection, employment, and IP laws all continue to apply alongside newer AI-specific rules. Europe has its EU AI Act, but the U.S. has no federal equivalent yet. In its pl...
