EP 19 | Leading in the Age of AI with Dr. Maya Dillion

As AI becomes a regular topic in boardrooms, many executives face critical blind spots around strategy, governance, and implementation. Few are AI-native, and many struggle to connect high-level goals with practical, accountable systems. In this episode of The AI Forecast, host Paul Muller speaks with Dr. Maya Dillon, an astrophysicist turned AI thought leader and CEO of consultancy XSAIA. Maya emphasizes the need for human-centric leadership in AI and the importance of understanding the holistic impact of AI on businesses.

Terraform Your Way to the Cloud with Konnect Dedicated Cloud Gateways

Imagine a world where you could deploy your API gateways across any cloud, enforce enterprise-grade policies, and meet compliance standards all within a single Terraform apply. Most teams think about infrastructure as code only in terms of spinning up VMs, networking components, databases, or maybe a Kubernetes cluster. But what if your API platform was just as programmable? With Kong’s Konnect platform and its support for Terraform, that reality is here today!

The AI Compliance Crisis: Are You Prepared?

Organizations are increasingly adopting AI to make quick decisions, understand data, and automate processes. However, this innovation comes at the cost of navigating complex data and AI compliance regulations. While AI regulations are still evolving worldwide, existing privacy laws and regulatory frameworks already apply to AI implementations. These laws, such as GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA, create a complicated landscape for businesses.

From SOAP to REST: Why DreamFactory's Approach to API Design Matters in the Age of MCP

REST APIs are now the backbone of modern systems, powering 83% of APIs, while SOAP lags behind at 15%. Why? REST is faster, simpler, and better suited for today’s needs, including AI and MCP (Model Context Protocol). DreamFactory makes this transition easy with automated REST API generation, robust security, and scalability. Here’s what you need to know.

Enterprise AI Strategy: Why AI Agents Should Be Your First Step

Since Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) captured mainstream attention a few years ago, businesses have been looking for ways to implement AI into their operations. There are some obvious reasons for this shift: saved time, increased productivity, and decreased need for manual effort. But there’s also another factor at play—the realization that not embracing AI now means getting left behind by the competition.

Understanding Autonomous AI Agents

We’ve all heard of digital assistants that perform specific tasks based on our requests. But what if these digital assistants could operate with ever more autonomy? While this requires an intelligent system, such as an autonomous AI agent, capable of recognizing opportunities and acting on them without constant human input or explicit instructions, the good news is that organizations no longer need specialized developers to build their own agents.

Enhanced Environment Variables in Bitrise for intelligent automation

Scrolling through the build log to find what caused your CI pipeline to fail isn’t fun. Or even spending hours inventing custom logic to automate workflows based on who triggered a build or what files changed? There might be a better solution. Enhanced Environment Variables have recently arrived – a suite of new variables designed to give you better control over Bitrise CI.

4 Tips for Developing Model Context Protocol Server

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is rapidly becoming the connective tissue for agentic AI systems and IDE tooling. Whether you’re building a dev tool that integrates with LLMs or enabling a context-aware API backend, standing up an MCP server is a rite of passage. But MCP is still in its early days and there are some sharp edges. Here are four practical shortcuts to fast-track your MCP server development so you can skip the boilerplate and get to the good stuff: intelligent tooling.

Test sharding: elevate code quality without slowing down your team

Sometimes teams avoid introducing more tests (particularly UI tests) because they fear slowing down their CI pipeline. Should you have to sacrifice software quality for the sake of fast cycle times? Absolutely not. So, how can you introduce more tests without slowing down your CI pipeline? The answer: employ test sharding. In this post, we’ll dive into what test sharding is and why you should consider it.
