If every company is now a tech company and digital transformation is a journey rather than a destination, how do you keep up with the relentless pace of technological change? Every day, Tech Talks Daily brings you insights from the brightest minds in tech, business, and innovation, breaking down complex ideas into clear, actionable takeaways. Hosted by Neil C. Hughes, Tech Talks Daily explores how emerging technologies such as AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing, fintech, quantum computing, Web3, and more are shaping industries and solving real-world challenges in modern businesses. Through candid conversations with industry leaders, CEOs, Fortune 500 executives, startup founders, and even the occasional celebrity, Tech Talks Daily uncovers the trends driving digital transformation and the strategies behind successful tech adoption. But this isn't just about buzzwords. We go beyond the hype to demystify the biggest tech trends and determine their real-world impact. From cybersecurity and blockchain to AI sovereignty, robotics, and post-quantum cryptography, we explore the measurable difference these innovations can make. Whether improving security, enhancing customer experiences, or driving business growth, we also investigate the ROI of cutting-edge tech projects, asking the tough questions about what works, what doesn't, and how businesses can maximize their investments. Whether you're a business leader, IT professional, or simply curious about technology's role in our lives, you'll find engaging discussions that challenge perspectives, share diverse viewpoints, and spark new ideas. New episodes are released daily, 365 days a year, breaking down complex ideas into clear, actionable takeaways around technology and the future of business.
What if meetings stopped draining your time and instead became engines for action? That’s the question driving Christoph Fleischmann, CEO of Arthur AI, and the conversation in today’s episode of Tech Talks Daily. Christoph has spent his career at the intersection of human potential and technology, and now he’s leading a company that wants to change how enterprises actually get work done.
Here’s the thing. Most enterprise AI talk today starts with chatbots and ends with glossy demos. Meanwhile, the data that actually runs a business lives in rows, columns, and time stamps. That gap is where my conversation with Vanja Josifovski, CEO of Kumo AI really comes alive. Vanja has spent two and a half decades helping companies turn data into decisions, from research roles at Yahoo and Googl...

Fresh off the main stage, where she helped debut VMware’s new Private AI Services and Intelligent Assist for VMware Cloud...

Jane brings clarity to a debate often clouded by headlines, explaining why AI should be seen as a creative sparring partner, not a rival. She outlines how Kantar is helping brands balance effi...
The enterprise network is under pressure like never before. Hybrid environments, cloud migrations, edge deployments, and the sudden surge in AI workloads have made it increasingly difficult to keep application connectivity secure and reliable. The old model of device-by-device, rule-based network management can’t keep up with today’s hyperconnected, API-driven world.

AI is rapidly becoming part of the healthcare system, powering everything from diagnostic tools and medical devices to patient monitoring and hospital operations. But while the potential is extraordinary, the risks are equally stark. Many hospitals are adopting AI without the safeguards needed to protect patient safety, leaving critical systems exposed to threats that most in the sector have never faced before.

In November, Alex Adamopoulos, CEO of Emergn, joined me on Tech Talks Daily to talk about transformation fatigue and why so many well-intentioned change programs leave people drained rather than inspired.

Product thinking is strategic thinking, and it belongs everywhere in the enterprise, no...

As AI tools become increasingly embedded in the workplace, the future of work hangs in a delicate balance between automation and opportunity. In this episode, J.D.

When most people think of Wikipedia, they picture an endless scroll of human-readable pages. But there’s another side to this ecosystem, one designed not just for people but also for machines. It’s called Wikidata, and if you haven’t heard of it, that’s exactly why this conversation matters.
