Pangram CEO Max Spero on why human touch is about to become the scarcest thing on the internet
Podcast: Mixed Signals from Semafor MediaPublished On: Fri Sep 18 2026
Description: Pangram founder and CEO Max Spero joins Mixed Signals to explain how his AI detection tool actually works, and why he thinks the escalating cat-and-mouse game between AI detectors and "humanizers" is a fight worth having. Max and Ben ask Spero about how Pangram can already distinguish Claude from ChatGPT, why he built a humanizer internally and refuses to release it, and what it would actually take for a fine-tuned personal AI to fool his model.
