Stack Overflow CEO: the most dangerous AI is the one that's sure and wrong — building a trust layer for agents

Stack Overflow CEO Prashanth Chandrasekar argues the most dangerous AI is the one that's sure and wrong. The real enterprise risk isn't superintelligence but a confident system moving at machine speed over Slack threads, stale wikis, and unverified docs — for developers, "almost right" is now a production hazard.
Key points:
- Wrapping an agent around messy information doesn't make it safe; bad context compounds, hallucinations get operationalized — a "Trust Gap."
- Stack Overflow is building a trust layer for the agentic era, converting messy internal information into verified knowledge that humans and agents can act on.
The platform will be demoed at WeAreDevs World Congress in San Jose and OpenAI DevDay.
