Box CEO Aaron Levie and a16z on AI regulation, agents and security
a16z · x · 2026-09-27
a16z podcast with Box CEO Aaron Levie, Steven Sinofsky and Martin Casado covering "We Must Pace the Frontier," the 2028 "AI election," and Jevons paradox. Key points:
- Today's AI regulation debate happens before risks have been defined; past tech waves built safety standards only after learning how the technology actually failed.
- Agents never tire, run at enormous scale and probe systems like employees never could — implying a rethink of permissions, authentication and the security stack itself.
- AI innovation may increasingly happen outside frontier labs, in software built around models.
