Beyond identity: securing enterprise AI agents for real-world resilience
Shared credentials are a known risk, but at VB Transform 2026, NTT DATA AIVista and Snowflake made the case that fixing identity alone won't secure enterprise AI agents. Mukesh Karki and Mayank Upadhyay argued for action-level authorization and tamper-resistant audit trails built into every interaction. That provability, as Karki put it, is your license to operate. It's a practical framework for scaling autonomous systems safely, and it pairs well with our coverage of recent agentic security incidents.
Science and compute converge as Dimension Capital raises $800 million fund
Dimension Capital's third fund at $800 million is a clear signal: the intersection of science and compute is no longer emerging, it's booming. The four-year-old firm's latest vehicle is 60% larger than its second, announced just 18 months ago. That pace of growth tells us investors see real momentum here, not hype. It's a space worth watching closely, especially as adjacent bets like Nscale's $3.36B infrastructure push gain traction.
When AI Saves Time but Misses the Bottom Line
A perfect eval score meant nothing when the CFO ran the numbers. The agent passed every metric in the harness I published, yet leadership killed it because its successful resolutions cost more than the humans it replaced. That is the gap between technical validation and business reality. Metrics can measure task completion, but they rarely capture true economic value. If you are exploring how AI agents actually perform in production, this story is a grounded reminder that context matters.
AI wealth flows outward, whether by design or by demand
Neil Rimer, the Index Ventures co-founder, sees the AI boom's massive wealth heading for a redistribution, whether the industry likes it or not. That is a sharp, sobering prediction from someone who has backed winners before. He is not warning about a crash; he is pointing to a social and political pressure that will not stay buried. If you want to question how this technology reshapes our judgment, our piece on talking to an AI clone offers a fitting companion to that uncomfortable truth.
