Techstrong Gang - 4/15/2026

Techstrong Gang is tracking three AI risk lines that are getting harder to ignore: anti-AI hostility turning physical, new clarity around Anthropic's refusal to work with the Pentagon, and the visibility gap around AI agents already operating inside enterprise environments. The panel unpacks how anti-AI sentiment is escalating beyond online backlash, what Anthropic's position says about military boundaries for frontier models, and why security teams still struggle to see which AI agents are active, what they can access and how they behave once deployed. Alan Shimel, Jon Swartz, Andi Mann, Mike Vizard,  and JP Morgenthal break down what these shifts mean for enterprise operators, security leaders and AI governance.
