About this podcast
Join Jake Moshenko, CEO of AuthZed, for The Base Layer Podcast, Experts in Authorization (powered by AuthZed), a candid interview series with the leaders discussing what is bringing AI into the enterprise.
As organizations move from prototypes to production, new challenges are emerging around scale, control, and trust. From managing exploding permission graphs to securing agent behavior and data access, the hardest problems in AI aren’t model-related they’re infrastructural.
In each session, Jake sits down with builders from across the AI and infrastructure ecosystem to unpack what’s actually breaking and how to design systems that can handle it.
