Rogue Agent — Why AI Costs Need the Same Controls as Call Centers

Controlling AI Operating Costs: What a $2,000 token bill reveals about monitoring usage, exceptions and human review.

Alan Moore draws on years in call-centre operations and transformation, including Accenture and T-Mobile, to explain a client case where a $2,000 month was traced to three contacts creating 98% of the cost. Most leaders treat runaway AI spend as a new technology problem. Alan argues it looks more like old call-centre behaviour: people and systems find gaps when no one is watching. Alan shows how abnormal AI use can be flagged early, routed to a human, and stopped before a small exception becomes the monthly bill.

For podcast hosts, Alan brings a grounded perspective on AI governance, AI operations, SaaS entrepreneurship and enterprise transformation. He can speak about why AI needs to be governed where work happens, not simply where the technology sits, and why organisations need visibility into what AI is doing, who or what is responsible, what actions are being taken, what those actions cost and what impact they can have across the wider business.
