2026/02/24

AI is no longer just a background tool. It’s drafting contracts, reviewing discovery, sending emails, negotiating deals, and triggering real-world consequences. In this episode of That Tech Pod, Laura and Kevin unpack what happens when AI starts behaving less like software and more like an employee. If an AI clause costs a company millions, misses privileged evidence, or sends sensitive information to the wrong place, who’s actually on the hook? The conversation moves from AI as a de facto ju...

Why Smart People Still Fall for Scams with Al Pascual

That Tech Pod ·

2026/01/06

This week, we sit down with Al Pascual, CEO and founder of Scamnetic, to talk about fraud from the inside out. Al didn’t come up through product or engineering.

That hands-on experience is what pushed him from treating fraud as “just a job” to seeing it as his lane. We get into the scam patterns that worry him most right now, including pig butchering and sextort...
