Ocean container rates on the ⁠eastbound Trans-Pacific are falling by double digits in a surprise move from China carriers⁠ ahead of new US port fees. The ship tax, which begins next week, charges China-owned or operated ships $80 per net tonnage for each voyage to the U.S. and could cost major players like Cosco and OOCL as much as $2.1 billion in 2026. Autonomous trucking company ⁠Kodiak AI just debuted on the NASDAQ⁠ after successfully combining with Ares Acquisition Corporation II, resulting in a $2.5 billion valuation for the newly public company. Kodiak secured more than $275 million in funding through this de-SPAC transaction, which CEO Don Burnette noted marks an inflection point for the industry as self-driving technology matures toward commercial deployment. Additionally, the ⁠Senate confirmed David Fink⁠, a former Pan Am Railways president and fifth-generation railroader, to lead the Federal Railroad Administration. President Trump nominated Fink, stating he would "deliver the FRA into a new era of safety and technological innovation". Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I invited Michael Reitblat, CEO and founder of Forter, to unpack a reality many retailers are living with every day. Fraud is no longer a side issue. It shapes conversion rates, customer loyalty, and the bottom line. Michael argues that if you remove the fear of fraud, you unlock growth. That sounds bold, but his lens is practical. Replace guesswork with instant, consistent decisions and you improve both security and the checkout experience. Here's the thing. False declines feel like fraud in disguise. When good customers get blocked, they do not return. Michael explains how Forter uses real-time signals to say yes or no within the transaction, without adding friction. The promise is simple. If a buyer is genuine, let them through. If it is fraud, stop it and cover the chargeback. It is a clean model that puts accountability on the platform, not the merchant. We also talk about what happens when AI agents start buying on our behalf. If software is placing orders, refunding items, or filing disputes, identity and intent become fluid. Michael walks through how trust platforms need to reason about behavior across accounts, devices, and sessions. The goal is confidence at the moment of purchase without slowing anyone down. Michael shares how Forter's scope has expanded from blocking bad actors to enabling smart, business-wide decisions about customers. That means recognizing loyal buyers even if they shop across regions and brands, and spotting synthetic identities that mimic human patterns. It also means measuring success by approvals and lifetime value, not only by stopped attacks. Let me explain why this matters. Retailers are caught between two pains. Ease up and you invite chargebacks. Tighten controls and you lose revenue from good customers. Michael's point is that trust should be a growth lever. If the system is confident, the checkout stays smooth on web and mobile. If the system is unsure, it can ask for the least painful extra step rather than send a blanket decline. We close with practical guidance for leaders. Treat trust as a product. Give teams shared visibility into decisions. Align incentives so fraud, payments, product, and marketing are working from the same truth. Michael's vision is a world where anyone can transact with ease because fraud has been priced out of the experience. That is a conversation worth having, and one retailers can act on today.

Here's the thing. “Smart” has been the buzzword for years, but Richard Leurig argues we're on the cusp of something bolder. In our conversation, the Accruent president drew a clear line between buildings filled with connected systems and buildings that can sense, decide, and act without a person staring at a dashboard all day. Richard shared a retail story that sticks. By wiring refrigeration units with sensors and training models on billions of telemetry points, his team can spot failures 48 to 72 hours before lettuce wilts or milk spoils. That time window turns panic calls at 3 a.m. into planned daytime fixes. It cuts waste, protects revenue, and keeps customers from walking into empty shelves. The bigger idea is a shift from many panes of glass to no pane of glass. Instead of asking people to wrangle alerts, AI agents coordinate HVAC, security, and maintenance, then dispatch the right technician with the right part only when one is truly needed. That is the road to self-healing facilities. Practicalities that matter now Let me explain why this resonates across industries. Whether you run a hospital, a university, a factory, or a grocery chain, you're wrestling with aging infrastructure and short supply of skilled workers. Richard sees the same pattern everywhere. Teams need guidance at the point of work, not another report. Natural language agents that answer plain questions and walk users through a task are winning hearts because they remove friction. Return-to-office adds another layer. Hybrid work has made space usage lumpy. Richard outlined how linking lease data, occupancy, and booking behavior helps leaders decide what to close, reshape, or scale. It also changes floor plans. When people do come in, they want project rooms and collaboration zones, not endless rows of cubicles. Retrofit is the sleeper story. You don't need a skyline of brand-new towers to get smarter. Low-cost sensors and targeted integrations are making older buildings more responsive than most people expect. That opens the door for progress without nine-figure capex. Energy, sustainability, and proof Boards want less energy spend and real emissions progress. The quickest wins are often hiding in plain sight. Richard walked through HVAC control that follows people, sunlight, and weather rather than fixed schedules. Lights that turn off when a room is empty are yesterday's news. Cooling only where teams are actually working is today's play. He also flagged a coming wave on factory floors. Many legacy motors and line components quietly draw more power than they should. Clip-on sensors can spot out-of-tolerance behavior so maintenance can fix the energy hog instead of replacing an entire line. That is the kind of operational change that lowers bills and supports sustainability targets with data, not slogans. Richard's timeline is refreshingly near term. He believes a large slice of the built environment will show real autonomy in three to five years. Not theory. Not demos. Everyday operations that quietly handle themselves until a human is truly required. If this conversation sparks an idea for your sites, stores, labs, or campuses, I want to hear how you're approaching it. What feels possible this quarter, and what still feels out of reach?

On Tuesday, DoorDash unveiled Dot, a small robot it built in-house that can autonomously drive on roads, bike lanes, and sidewalks to deliver food and small packages at speeds up to 20 miles per hour. Dot is designed to look friendly and even cartoonish — painted bright red, with big LED eyes and a mouth that swings open to reveal where it holds your food — though some would argue it's slightly creepy.

Episode SummaryCan multi-factor authentication really “solve” security, or are attackers already two steps ahead? In this episode of The Secure Developer, we sit down with Paul Querna, CTO and co-founder at ConductorOne, to unpack the evolving landscape between authentication and authorisation. In our conversation, Paul delves into the difference between authorisation and authentication, why authorisation issues have only been solved for organisations that invest properly, and why that progress has pushed attackers toward session theft and abusing standing privilege.Show NotesIn this episode of The Secure Developer, host Danny Allan sits down with Paul Querna, CTO and co-founder of ConductorOne, to discuss the evolving landscape of identity and access management (IAM). The conversation begins by challenging the traditional assumption that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a complete solution, with Paul explaining that while authentication is "solved-ish," attackers are now moving to steal sessions and exploit authorization weaknesses. He shares his journey into the identity space, which began with a realization that old security models based on firewalls and network-based trust were fundamentally broken.The discussion delves into the critical concept of least privilege, a core pillar of the zero-trust movement. Paul highlights that standing privilege—where employees accumulate access rights over time—is a significant risk that attackers are increasingly targeting, as evidenced by reports like the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report. This is even more critical with the rise of AI, where agents could potentially have overly broad access to sensitive data. They explore the idea of just-in-time authorization and dynamic access control, where privileges are granted for a specific use case and then revoked, a more mature approach to security.Paul and Danny then tackle the provocative topic of using AI to control authorization. While they agree that AI-driven decisions are necessary to maintain user experience and business speed, they acknowledge that culturally, we are not yet ready to fully trust AI with such critical governance decisions. They discuss how AI could act as an orchestrator, making recommendations for low-risk entitlements while high-risk ones remain policy-controlled. Paul also touches on the complexity of this new world, with non-human identities, personal productivity agents, and the need for new standards like extensions to OAuth. The episode concludes with Paul sharing his biggest worries and hopes for the future. He is concerned about the speed of AI adoption outpacing security preparedness, but is excited by the potential for AI to automate away human toil, empowering IAM and security teams to focus on strategic, high-impact work that truly secures the organization.LinksConductorOneVerizon Data Breach Investigations ReportAWS CloudWatchSnyk - The Developer Security Company Follow UsOur WebsiteOur LinkedIn

CJ King, CTO at Torc Robotics, joins the show to talk about the future of autonomous trucking at scale. Instead of asking “can we build one self-driving truck?” Torc is asking, “how do we safely put 10,000 on the road?” From supply chain transformation to regulatory hurdles, CJ breaks down what it really takes to bring production-ready autonomous semis into the market and why the ripple effects will reach far beyond trucking.Key Takeaways• Scaling autonomous vehicles isn't about prototypes—it's about building production-ready systems from the ground up.• Trucks face unique technical challenges, from 1,000-meter perception needs to fully redundant systems that can't rely on cloud compute.• Removing driver limitations could extend operations from 8 hours a day to 20, unlocking major gains in supply chain efficiency.• Regulatory collaboration is critical—success depends on alignment with federal and state agencies, law enforcement, and logistics partners.• Adoption will come in step-functions: once proven safe and reliable, logistics companies are ready to adopt at scale.Timestamped Highlights00:45 – Torc's focus on hub-to-hub autonomous trucking02:03 – Why scaling to thousands of trucks matters more than building one prototype06:48 – The unique technical problems of trucks vs. passenger cars09:25 – How extended operating hours reshape logistics and supply chains14:17 – Working with regulators and law enforcement to ensure safety and compliance17:42 – AV3.0, synthetic data, and billions of miles of training for safer systems22:31 – Building public trust and societal acceptance of autonomous trucking25:21 – Why large-scale adoption will happen in step functions, not tricklesA Line That Stuck With Us“Our bare minimum is to drive as good as a human—our mission is to be safer than one.” – CJ KingCall to ActionIf you enjoyed this episode, share it with someone who cares about the future of tech and logistics.

Everything is changing. Adam is joined by his good friend Beyang Liu from Sourcegraph — this time, talking about Amp (ampcode.com). Amp is one of the many, and one of Adam's favorite agentic coding tools to use. What makes it different is how they've engineered to it to maximize what's possible with today's frontier models. Autonomous reasoning, access to the oracle, comprehensive code editing, and complex task execution. That's nearly verbatim from their homepage, but it's also exactly what Adam has experienced. They talk through all things agents, how Adam might have been holding Amp wrong, and they even talked through Adam's idea called "Agent Flow". If you're babysitting agents, this episode is for you.

Our strategists Michelle Weaver and Adam Jonas join analyst Christopher Snyder to discuss the most important themes that emerged from the Morgan Stanley Annual Industrials Conference in Laguna Beach.Michelle Weaver: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michelle Weaver, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Thematic Strategist.Christopher Snyder: I'm Chris Snyder, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Multi-Industry Analyst. Adam Jonas: And I'm Adam Jonas, Morgan Stanley's Embodied AI Strategist.Michelle Weaver: We recently concluded Morgan Stanley's annual industrials conference in Laguna Beach, California, and wanted to share some of the biggest takeaways.It's Tuesday, September 16th at 10am in New York.I want to set the stage for our conversation. The overall tone at the conference was fairly similar to last year with many companies waiting for a broader pickup. And I'd flag three different themes that really emerged from the conference. So first, AI. AI is incredibly important. It appeared in the vast majority of fireside conversations. And companies were talking about AI from both the adopter and the enabler angle. Second theme on the macro, overall companies remain in search of a reacceleration. They pointed to consistently expansionary PMIs or a PMI above 50, a more favorable interest rate environment and greater clarity on tariffs as the key macro conditions for renewed momentum. And then the last thing that came up repeatedly was how are companies going to react to tariffs? And I would say companies overall were fairly constructive on their ability to mitigate the margin impact of tariffs with many talking about both leveraging pricing power and supply chain shifts to offset those impacts. So, Chris, considering all this, the wait for an inflection came up across a number of companies. What were some of your key takeaways on multis, on the macro front? Christopher Snyder: The commentary was stable to modestly improving, and that was really consistent across all of these companies. There are, you know, specific verticals where things are getting better. I would call out data center as one. Non-res construction, as another one, implant manufacturing as one. And there were certain categories where we are seeing deterioration – residential HVAC, energy markets, and agriculture.But we came away more constructive on the cycle because things are stable, if not modestly improving into a rate cut cycle. The concern going in was that we would hear about deteriorating trends and a rate cut would be needed just to stabilize the market. So, we do think that this backdrop is supportive for better industrial growth into 2026.We have been positive on the project or CapEx side of the house. It feels like strength there is improving. We've been more cautious on the short cycle production side of the house. But we are starting to see signs of rate of change. So, when we look into [20]26 and [20]27, we think U.S. industrials are poised for decade high growth. Michelle Weaver: You've had a thesis for a while now that U.S. reshoring is going to be incredibly important and that it's a $10 trillion opportunity. Can you unpack that number? What are some recent data points supporting that and what did you learn at the conference? Christopher Snyder: Some of the recent data points that support this view is U.S. manufacturing construction starts are up 3x post Liberation Day. So, we're seeing companies invest. This is also coming through in commercial industrial lending data, which continues to push higher almost every week and is currently at now record high levels. So, there's a lot of reasons for companies not to invest right now. There's a lot of uncertainty around policy. But seeing that willingness to invest through all of the uncertainty is a big positive because as that uncertainty lifts, we think more projects will come off the sidelines and be unlocked. So, we see positive rate of change on that. What I think is often lost in the reassuring conversation is that this has been happening for the last five years. The U.S. lost share of global CapEx from 2000 when China entered the World Trade Organization almost every year till 2019 when Trump implemented his first wave of tariffs. Since then, the U.S. has taken about 300 basis points of global CapEx share over the last five years, and that's a lot on a $30 trillion CapEx base. So, I think the debate here should be: Can this continue? And when I look at Trump policy, both the tariffs making imports more expensive, but also the incentives lowering the cost of domestic production – we do think these trends are stable. And I always want to stress that this is a game of increments. It's not that the U.S. is going to get every factory. But we simply believe the U.S. is better positioned to get the incremental factory over the next 20 years relative to the prior 20. And the best point is that the baseline growth here is effectively zero. Michelle Weaver: And how does power play into the reshoring story? AI and data centers are generating huge demand for power that well outstrip supply. Is there a risk that companies that want to reshore are not able to do so because of the power constraints?Christopher Snyder: It's a great question. I think it's part of the reason that this is moving more slowly. The companies that sell this power equipment tend to prioritize the data center customers given their scale in magnitude of buying. But ultimately, we think this is coming and it's a big opportunity for U.S. power to extend the upcycle.Manufacturing accounts for 26 percent of the electricity in the country. Data center accounts for about 5 percent. So, if the industrial economy returns to growth, there will be a huge pull on the grid; and I view it as a competitive advantage. If you think about the future of U.S. manufacturing, we're simply taking labor out and replacing it with electricity. That is a phenomenal trade off for the U.S. And a not as positive trade off for a lot of low-cost regions who essentially export labor to the world. I'm sure Adam will have more to say about that. Michelle Weaver: And Adam, I want to bring robotics and humanoid specifically into this conversation as the U.S.' technological edge is a big part of the reshoring story. So how do humanoids fit into reshoring? How much would they cost to use and how could they make American manufacturing more attractive? Adam Jonas: Humanoid robots – we're talking age agentic robots that make decisions from themselves autonomously due to the dual purpose in the military. You know, dual purpose aspect of it makes it absolutely necessary to onshore the technologies.At the same time, humanoid robots actually make it possible to onshore those technologies. Meaning you need; we're not going to be able to replicate manufacturing and onshore manufacturing the way it's currently done in China with their environmental practices and their labor – availability of affordable cheap human labor.Autonomous robots are both the cause of onshoring. And the effect of onshoring at the same time, and it's going to transform every industry. The question isn't so much as which industry will autonomous robots, including humanoids impact? It's what will it not.And we have not yet been able to find anything that it would. When you think about cost to use – we think by 2040 we get to a point where to Chris's point, the marginal cost of work will be some factor of electricity, energy, and some depreciation of that physical plant, or the physical robot itself. And we come up with a, a range of scenarios where centered on around $5 per hour. If that can replace two human workers at $25 an hour, that can NPV to around $200,000 of NPV per humanoid. That's discounting back 15 years from 2040.Michelle, there's 160 million people in the U.S. labor market, so if you just substituted 1 percent of that or 1.6 million people out of the U.S. Labor pool. 1.6 million times $200,000 NPV; that's $320 billion of value, which is worth, well, quite a lot. Quite a lot of money to a lot of companies that are working on this. So, when we get asked, what are we watching, well, in terms of the bleeding edge of the robot revolution, we're watching the Sino-U.S. competition. And I prefer to call it competition. And we're also watching the terra cap companies, the Mag 7 type companies that are quite suddenly and recently and very, very significantly going after physical AI and robotics talent. And increasingly even manufacturing talent. So again, to circle back to Chris's point, if you want evidence of reshoring and manufacturing and advanced manufacturing in this country, look at some of these TMT and tech and AI companies in California. And look at, go on their hiring website and watch all the manufacturing and robotics people that they're trying to hire; and pay a lot of money to do so. And that might be an interesting indicator of where we're going.Michelle Weaver: I want to dig in a little bit more there. We're seeing a lot of the cutting-edge tech coming out of China. Is the U.S. going to be able to catch up?Adam Jonas: Uh, I don't know. I don't know. But I would say what's our alternative. We either catch up enough to compete or we're up for grabs. OK?I would say from our reading and working closely with our team in China, that in many aspects of supply chain, manufacturing, physical AI, China is ahead. And with the passage of time, they are increasingly ahead. We estimate, and we can't be precise here, that China's lead on the U.S. would not only last three to five years, but might even widen three to five years from now. May even widen at an accelerating rate three to five years from now.And so, it brings into play is what kind of environment and what kind of regulatory, and policy decisions we made to help kind of level the playing field and encourage the right kind of manufacturing. We don't want to encourage trailing edge, Victorian era manufacturing in the U.S. We want to encourage, you know, to skate to where the puck is going technology that can help improve our world and create a sustainable abundance rather than an unsustainable one. And so, we're watching China very, very closely. It makes us a little bit; makes me a little bit kind of nervous when we – if we see the government put the thumb on the scale too much.But it's invariably going to happen. You're going to have increased involvement of whichever administration it is in order to kind of set policies that can encourage innovation, education of our young people, repurposing of labor, you know. All these people making machines in this country now. They might get, there may be a displacement over a number of years, if not a generation.But we need those human bodies to do other things in this economy as well. So, we; I don't want to give the impression at all in our scenarios that we don't need people anymore. Michelle Weaver: What are the opportunities and the risks that you see for investors as robotics converges with this broader U.S. manufacturing story? Adam Jonas: Well, Michelle, we see both opportunities and risks. There are the opportunities that you can measure in terms of what portion of global GDP of [$]115 trillion could you look at. I mean, labor alone is $40 trillion.And if you really make humanoid that can do the work of two workers, guess what? You're not going to stop at [$]40 trillion. You're going to go beyond that. You might go multiple beyond that. Talking about the world before AI, robotics and humanoid is like talking about the world before electricity. Or talking about business before the internet. We don't think we're exaggerating, but the proof will be in the capital formation. And that's where we hope we can be of assistance to our clients working together on a variety of investment ideas. But the risks will come and it is our professional responsibility, if not our moral responsibility, to work with our partners across research to talk about those risks. Michelle, if we have labor displacement, go too quickly, there's serious problems. And if you don't, if you don't believe me, go look at, look at you know, the French Revolution or the Industrial Revolution, or Age of Enlightenments. Ages of scientific enlightenment frequently cohabitate times of great social and political turmoil as well. And so, we think that these risks must be seen in parallel if we want to bring forth technologies that can make us more human rather than less human. I'm sorry if I'm coming across as a little preachy, but if you studied robots and labor all day long, it does have that effect on you. So, Michelle, how do you see innovation priorities changing for industrials and investors in this environment?Michelle Weaver: I think it's huge as we're seeing AI and technology broadly diffuse across different segments of the market, it's only becoming more important. About two-thirds of companies at the conference mentioned AI in some way, shape, or form. We know that from transcripts. And we're seeing them continue to integrate AI into their businesses. They're trying to go beyond what we've just seen at the initial edge. So, for example, if I think about what was going on within AI adoption a couple years ago, it was largely adding a chat bot to your website that's then able to handle a lot of customer service inquiries. Maybe you could reduce the labor there a little bit. Now we're starting to see a lot more business specific use cases. So, for example, with an airline, an airline company is using AI to most optimally gate different planes as they're landing to try and reduce connection times. They know which staff needs to go to another flight to connect, which passengers need to move to another flight. They're able to do that much more efficiently. You're seeing a lot on AI being adopted within manufacturing to make manufacturing processes a lot more seamless. So, I think innovation is only going to continue to become more important to not only industrials, but broadly the entire market as well.Clearly the industry is being shaped by adaptability, collaboration, and a focus on innovation. So, Chris, Adam, thank you both for taking the time to talk. Adam Jonas: Always a pleasure. Michelle.Christopher Snyder: Thank you for having us on. Michelle Weaver: And to our listeners, thanks for listening.

The next generation of analytics is here. In this episode of The Data Chief, ThoughtSpot CEO Ketan Karkhanis explains why AI is the new BI, and the future of analytics is autonomous. Karkhanis shares his vision for the autonomous enterprise, where AI agents act on insights and automate workflows.  He also explains why a culture of trust and experimentation is crucial for unlocking AI's full potential. Don't miss this discussion on how to fundamentally rethink how organizations interact with data to drive better business outcomes and build an autonomous enterprise.Key Moments:AI is the New BI (08:35): Ketan explains that AI represents a “foundational rewiring” of the entire technology stack, a shift he calls Cloud 2.0. He predicts the BI market is on the verge of an “upgrade super cycle,” leaving legacy players behind.AI Becomes the Only UI (20:45): Ketan shares his vision that in the future, AI will become "the only UI you will need". He explains that ThoughtSpot's MCP host can bring together structured data, unstructured data, and world knowledge to provide better context for a user's question.Progress over Perfection (25:56): Leaders are reminded not to let “perfection be the enemy of progress.” For Ketan, a culture of trust and openness to experimentation is more important than having perfectly defined KPIs or flawless dashboards.Training Comes First (29:02): One of the biggest lessons learned was the importance of investing in people before chasing the promise of AI outcomes.  After rolling out mandatory generative AI training, new use cases began emerging organically from across the business—proof that education fuels innovation.Outcomes Over Tech (38:47): Despite mountains of legacy technology, many organizations remain starved for actionable insights. Ketan points to EasyJet as an example of getting it right: rather than focusing on systems and infrastructure, they designed their AI initiative around a tangible outcome—avoiding flight cancellations.The Rise of the Autonomous Enterprise (42:56): The next frontier is the autonomous enterprise, where AI agents don't just surface insights but also act on them. Ketan envisions a future where humans are freed from mundane tasks to focus on higher-value work like relationships and judgment calls.Key Quotes:"AI becomes the only UI you will need." - Ketan Karkhanis"It's not about AI. It's about ROI." - Ketan Karkhanis"This is no longer just about BI.
