“Pretense: Real conversations on AI, security, and the consequences leaders aren't talking about yet.”
Business Entrepreneurship Artificial Intelligence Technology Emerging Technologies IT Infrastructure Security
Pretense is hosted by Jimmy Malhan, founder and CEO of the AI firewall company of the same name. The show is built around one tension: AI is moving faster than the people responsible for the consequences. In security, governance, infrastructure, and trust.
Every episode is a real, unscripted conversation with founders, engineering and security leaders, and operators who are living that reality inside their organizations right now, not commentating on it from the outside. We cover how AI coding tools are quietly leaking proprietary code, how enterprises are adopting AI faster than they can govern it, and what's actually happening when AI-driven decisions hit real teams, real budgets, and real risk.
We're looking for guests who have something specific and unhedged to say: a real incident, a hard-won lesson, a position they're willing to defend. No hype, no pitch decks, no talking points. If you've built, broken, or fixed something at the edge of AI adoption, we want to hear it.
