The AI Public-Private Divide

On the latest episode of Security Visionaries, host Bailey Popp sits down with Teresa Carlson, Global Head of Public Sector at Anthropic and former CEO of the General Catalyst Institute, for a wide-ranging conversation on the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and public-private collaboration. Teresa draws on nearly three decades in technology to share what it truly takes to work with government. From navigating compliance frameworks like FedRAMP to building sponsor networks that accelerate the path to authority to operate. The discussion explores how security leaders can shift from a checklist culture to an outcomes-based mindset, and why going in as a partner, not a vendor, is the defining factor for success. Teresa and Bailey also tackle the fragmented global AI regulatory landscape, the challenge of data sovereignty, and why startups bear a disproportionate burden in a world of conflicting mandates. This episode's bottom line? AI is minting a new generation of citizen developers and the opportunity has never been bigger.
