#89: The Rise of the AI Engineer — Are Coders Becoming Directors?
AI agents are now writing, testing, and deploying code autonomously — and the ripple effects on the software engineering profession are profound. In this solo episode, The Change Dude digs into the data behind the shift: 92.6% of developers using AI tools, 41% of code now AI-assisted, and autonomous agents resolving over 80% of real-world GitHub issues without human intervention. But the deeper story isn't about AI replacing developers — it's about the emergence of a new kind of engineer: one who thinks less like a coder and more like a director. Packed with research from Stack Overflow, McKinsey, Gartner, Anthropic, and more, this episode is essential listening for developers, engineering leaders, and anyone building a team in 2026.

#88: AI Risk in Banking — Why Scaling AI Is Harder Than Building It
AI isn’t the hard part anymore—governing it is. In this episode, Saeed Rafay breaks down why banks and fintechs are struggling to scale AI despite massive investments. From model risk and regulatory pressure to agentic AI and model drift, we explore the real challenges that start after the model is built. If you think AI success is about better tech, think again. The real competitive edge in 2026 and beyond will come from mastering AI risk, governance, and trust.

#87: AI Fraud in Banking
AI is transforming banking—but it’s also supercharging fraud, deepfakes, and autonomous financial risks. In this episode, I break down how criminals are using AI just as fast as banks, why “agentic AI” changes everything, and what it really means for trust, regulation, and accountability in finance. If you think AI is just about efficiency, this episode will challenge that perspective.
