title: Getting Agent Ready With Stripe's Head of Data and AI
description: >-
  Emily Glassberg Sands leads data and AI at Stripe, which processes roughly 2%
  of global GDP, giving her a bird’s-eye view into how AI is upending the
  internet economy. Dan Shipper talked with Glassberg Sands for Every's AI & I
  about what the data on Stripe's network actually shows: AI companies are
  scaling three times faster than the top SaaS cohort of 2018, fraud has moved
  from the checkout to the full funnel, and agents have started buying things,
  although mostly low-stakes commodities like Halloween costumes. The
  conversation covers the new fraud types unique to AI companies, the AI-on-AI
  arms race between bad actors and fraud detectors, where AI revenue growth is
  actually coming from, and how Stripe is rebuilding the payments infrastructure
  for a world where the buyer is an agent. If you found this episode
