The AI Divide 88 Nations Choose Growth Over Guardrails | TSG Ep. 1026

February 24, 2026

Artificial intelligence is becoming a geopolitical fault line.

On this episode of Techstrong Gang, Alan Shimel, Mike Vizard, Mitch Ashley, Chris Blask, Kate Scarcella and Sid Nag examine the political implications of an AI innovation pledge signed by 88 nations that emphasizes market growth over binding safety guardrails.

What does this widening divide mean for global AI governance and competitive positioning?

The discussion then shifts to the operational challenges of AI agents at scale. As enterprises deploy more autonomous systems, identity management and access control complexities are surfacing rapidly. Managing credentials, trust relationships and permissions for non-human actors introduces new security risks.

Finally, the gang explores “Gas Town,” a Kubernetes-based model for orchestrating multiple AI coding agents within modern development environments. What does this approach reveal about the future of DevOps and AI collaboration?

From global policy to identity management to Kubernetes orchestration, this episode examines how the AI divide is moving from rhetoric to implementation.

Subscribe for daily analysis on AI, cybersecurity and enterprise technology as policy, identity and orchestration reshape the future of AI.
