438: AI Liability: The Landmines Under Your SaaS

About this episode

This episode discusses the liability risks associated with AI features in SaaS products and offers insights on safety measures for founders.

Google is banning accounts. Anthropic is locking down their plans. Two major AI providers are drawing hard lines around agentic systems — and most founders aren't ready for what that means. In this episode, I break down the real liability risks of shipping AI features: rogue chatbots, confused agents wiping production data, customers pointing autonomous tools at your API, and the insurance gap nobody's talking about. I share my own close calls with Claude Code, a practical minimum safety posture for any AI-powered product, and why the founders building moats out of data instead of models will sleep much better at night.
