Horizon3 co-founder and CEO Snehal Antani discusses the launch of the company’s Adversarial Intelligence Frontier Lab and how AI agents are changing offensive and defensive cybersecurity. He explains why frontier AI models fail against basic cyber deception, why private behind-the-firewall training data is the real moat over compute, and why attackers rely on machine-speed execution of basic flaws rather than zero-days.

Google DeepMind research engineer Ege Erdil explains why he is bearish on $1T+ AI lab valuations, comparing frontier labs to low-margin, high-CapEx airlines rather than traditional software monopolies. He also challenges short-timeline forecasts like the AI 2027 intelligence explosion thesis, arguing that AI progress remains bottlenecked by compute and data rather than self-accelerating software research, and estimates full automation of white-collar work is still roughly 20 years away.
