S02E02 – From Skills to Sec-Ops: AI’s Double-Edged Sword

AI isn’t just rewriting code — it’s reshaping teams, tearing up job descriptions, and redrawing the battle lines in cybersecurity.

In this episode of The Due Diligence Show, Adam Jaques and Luke Silcock unpack how AI is changing what it means to be “technical.” From prompt engineering to fully autonomous agents, the ground is shifting fast — and not everyone is keeping up.

You’ll hear:

• Why the AI skills gap isn’t just a hiring problem — it’s a strategy problem

• How security and operations are being redefined in an AI-first world

• What risks investors should watch for when teams lean too hard on GenAI

• The rise of “AI glue” work — and why it’s both indispensable and invisible

• When productivity metrics start lying, and how to catch them in the act

We also explore the silent tension playing out in product orgs, where AI is both a multiplier and a minefield. If you’re leading teams, investing in tech, or just wondering if your job description still makes sense — this one’s for you.
