In this episode, Mike, Stephen, and Matt are joined by Dr. Carliss Baldwin, Professor Emerita at Harvard University, Author of Design Rules Vol. 1 & Design Rules Vol. 2. Dr. Baldwin shares the story of how she originally connected the financial concept of option theory to modularization of technology, where options thinking could be applied in the post-AI world, and why complementarity is an equally important concept when analyzing digital ecosystems.

In this episode, Ken Han and Baljeet Malhotra of Teejlab join Mike and Matt to discuss how to manage the spectrum of risks for APIs, how risk management relates to API discovery, and what new risks–and rewards–the explosion of AI technologies is creating in the world of APIs.

In this episode, Mike, Matt, and guest co-host Stephen Fishman sit down with Tim O’Reilly, founder and CEO of O’Reilly Media.
