Imagine spending your life roaming a wildlife reserve, food,

shelter and medicine provided. Not a care in the world. But no

agency or freedom to travel beyond the fences of the park. Is

that freedom or captivity?



That’s one model of our future in a world where AI takes all the

jobs. A species with no real purpose waiting for evolution to

run its course. Matt and Kishan explore the purpose of

humanity in a world where AI agents run the show.

How does the Internet work? To be honest we don't know either. But on Tech Talk, we deconstruct the relationship between humans and technology and understand how it shapes our business and life.

It used to be relatively easy to spot a scam call or message. But what happens when the person on the other end looks and sounds exactly like someone you trust? This technology, enabled by AI, is creating a much bigger problem for businesses, where a convincing face or voice could authorise a payment, unlock a system, or extract sensitive information.

We get into:


The problem of deepfakes: How easy it is to fake and how hard it is to detect.


The alarm bells: What signals should make an employee stop and verify who they're actually talking to on a call.


The technology layer: What a system that detects deepfakes needs to be able to do, and how it can keep up with scammers operating on a global level.

Deepfakes Are Now a Global Business Problem

What on earth is happening with AI? Agents are hacking systems. Inventing their own languages. Covering their tracks and behaving like spies from a 1980s farce. 

The bosses of AI companies are behaving more cartoonishly supervillain-like than anything Marvel or DC ever created. Where even their calls for a slowdown in AI development look self-serving. 

Meanwhile, people are worrying about their jobs, the future of their children and the encroachment of AI infrastructure project on their homes and communities. If it sounds like a job for SuperMatt, you’d be wrong. He’s nobody’s hero.

Varun Mittal, Founder of Fintech Nation and Managing Director Country Head Singapore at Keenai Global, joins us to explain what stablecoins actually are and the tech required to build and run a stablecoin payment system.

Rena Kwok, Senior Credit Analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, also joins us to discuss what this proposal means for Singapore's banks, why they're barred from issuing stablecoins directly, and where the actual revenue opportunity lies for them.
