episode Why AI & Automation Can't Replace a Human: Inside the Most Automated Job | Yash Tekriwal artwork

Why AI & Automation Can't Replace a Human: Inside the Most Automated Job | Yash Tekriwal

In this episode of The Trust Moat, I sit down with Yash Terkiwal, the founding GTM Engineer at Clay, to explore why AI and automation won't replace humans, but rather amplify our creative and strategic potential. If you're a founder or builder trying to navigate the 'AI vs. Human' question, Yash’s insights on creativity and critical thinking are essential. --- The Trust Moat Podcast explores why trust is the last durable competitive advantage—and the founders, investors, and builders who understand it. -- This episode was filmed at SaaStanak 2026, in Šibenik, Croatia - where SaaS meets sea and sand.

Why the Fibre Industry Left 13 Million Homes Behind & How to Build With Purpose | Alan Knott Craig Jr.

Alan Knott-Craig Jr. has published 10 books, built Africa's first mass-market social network, and invested in over 20 companies. But his most important venture might be his current one — bringing fast, affordable fiber internet to South Africa's townships for 25 cents a day. In this episode, Alan talks about what it actually takes to build in places the rest of the world has written off. Negotiating with construction mafias. Losing everything and starting over.

Why 40% of AI Projects Fail: The "Amnesia" Problem Nobody is Talking About | with Nemanja Bibic

Gartner predicts that 40% of agentic AI projects will be canceled by 2027—not because the models aren't smart enough, but because the underlying memory layer isn't ready. In this episode, we sit down with Nemanja Bibic, Head of Growth at Cognee, a startup building the knowledge layer for our agentic future, to discuss the urgent need for a "hippocampus" for artificial intelligence. We dive deep into why current LLMs suffer from "AI Alzheimer’s," the technical difference between stateless and stateful versions, and why better memory—not just bigger models—is the key to reaching AGI. Inside the Episode * The "AI Alzheimer’s" Effect: Why current models struggle to retain context beyond 48 hours and act as a blank slate every time you open them. * The $7.5M Infrastructure Bet: Why founders from OpenAI and Facebook AI Research are backing the development of a "cognitive infrastructure". * Neurological vs. Cognitive Mimicry: How mimicking human reasoning and learning processes is moving AI accuracy from 60% toward 100%. * The Economics of Memory: Why the next trillion-dollar companies will be the ones building the infrastructure that allows AI to learn, doubt itself, and function without constant human supervision. * Community-Driven Intelligence: How 12,000 developers are building a persistent memory layer for the future of agentic workflows.
