The mood in tech has shifted from hype to hard results. We unpack KPMG’s 2026 US Technology Survey and make sense of a jarring reality: investment in automation and AI is soaring, yet fewer organizations are scaling successfully and even fewer are proving measurable ROI. We connect the dots between stalled execution, mounting technical debt, and the rise of agentic AI, digital teammates that demand new governance, new...
Some stories sit at the crossroads of technology and power, where the truth hides in plain sight. We dive into the Jeffrey Epstein files not to sensationalize, but to unpack how responsible AI can turn scattered logs, flight manifests, emails, and transfers into coherent leads that help investigators see the network behind the name. Our focus is on forensic pattern recognition, how machine learning can highlight repea...
A flood of AI‑generated intimate deepfakes has turned trust into the scarcest commodity online. We unpack the numbers, the human cost, and the legal answer that aims a precise blow at exploitation without dimming the lights on art, satire, or political speech. As lifelong defenders of free expression, we walk through why a narrow rule can strengthen the First Amendment by targeting conduct that forges identity and inf...
We make the case that 2026 is the year AI governance becomes operational and unavoidable, backed by three statistics that reveal global regulation, business unpreparedness, and the economic upside of responsible AI. We share the four pillars, the steps to operationalize them, and why governance ultimately accelerates innovation and trust.
• The global rise of enforceable, risk-based AI rules
• The adoptio...
We make the case that Greenland is a rising digital linchpin for AI, thanks to clean energy, Arctic cooling, mineral resources, and new subsea cable routes. We also explore how Indigenous leadership can guide ethical development that balances growth with stewardship.
• Greenland’s strategic role in AI infrastructure
• Hydropower, wind and potential geothermal as clean baseload
• Arctic climate enablin...
If shopping feels like the same three products at the top of every search, you’re not imagining it. We sat down with Al Schuster and Heather Johnson of Polaris Brand Promotions to unpack how experiential retail brings back real choice, and how their new app, SampleFinder, turns a store trip into discovery, instant perks, and meaningful feedback.
We start with the problem: passive digital ads and delivery apps...
"Mindset Before Machines: Why Digital Transformation Needs Humans"
Featuring Barbara Wittman, Digital Wisdom Collective
In this episode I sit down with Barbara Wittman, founder of the Digital Wisdom Collective and one of the most insightful voices in human‑centered transformation. Together, we explore a truth too often ignored in boardrooms and technology roadmaps: digital transformation doesn’t...
The digital shift isn’t a trend, it’s a structural transformation reshaping how businesses operate and how people live. One of the clearest indicators of this shift is the fact that 74% of businesses now rank digital transformation as a top priority, placing it alongside cybersecurity and cloud modernization as a core strategic focus.
This signals a global recognition that digital capabilities are no longer optional, ...
The glossy Instagram you remember, the flawless squares, the perfect vacation shots, the latte that looked too good to drink, just lost its power to hold our attention. Adam Mosseri says the curated feed is dead, and he points to the reason many of us felt but couldn’t name: AI made perfection cheap. When anyone can generate a flawless image in seconds, perfect stops meaning special. What rises instead is the one thin...

2025 will be remembered as the year the Digital Revolution stopped being a forecast and became a lived reality. For more than a decade, we’ve talked about transformation, disruption, and the promise of intelligent technologies, but this year, the world crossed a threshold.
Artificial Intelligence moved from the edges of experimentation into the core of how industries operate. Intelligent infrastructure matured. Global...
Today, we’re talking about a topic that affects every individual, every professional, every brand, and every industry: How AI is transforming the way we post, share, and engage on social media.
Let’s start with the scale of this digital universe.
Right now, more than five billion people use social media worldwide. That’s not just a global audience, that’s a global habit. And those habits are deepenin...

Artificial intelligence is transforming holiday shopping into a more personalized and efficient experience.
Recommendation engines on e-commerce platforms analyze browsing history, purchase behavior, and even social media trends to suggest gifts that feel tailor-made for each shopper. This personalization reduces the stress of endless searching and helps consumers discover items they might not have considered otherwis...
When we talk about artificial intelligence transforming industries, we often focus on the algorithms, the models, and the breakthroughs in generative AI. But here’s the reality: AI cannot thrive without modernized cloud infrastructure. The cloud is the bedrock that makes AI scalable, secure, and accessible.
Let’s ground this episode in some numbers: According to Google Cloud’s 2025 State of AI Infrastructur...
AI’s energy appetite is already staggering, and projections suggest it could reshape global electricity demand within the next decade. Data centers consumed less than 300 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2020, but forecasts from the International Energy Agency indicate this could surge to nearly 1,000 terawatt-hours by 2028, more than Japan’s entire electricity consumption today. By 2028, AI workloads could account fo...
When you think about protecting critical infrastructure, pipelines, power grids, or water treatment facilities, the first question isn’t how to defend them, but what exactly are we defending? That’s the challenge The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency or the CISA tackled in its August 13th 2025 guidance on OT cybersecurity.
In today’s interconnected world, attackers don’t just target IT networks; they’...
At the heart of every great digital transformation story is a moment of convergence, where technology, trust, and timing collide to reshape industries.
That’s exactly what we’re witnessing with Ant Digital Technologies at the Singapore FinTech Festival. This isn’t just another product showcase; it’s a strategic signal from one of Asia’s most influential tech players that AI, blockchain, and intelligent automation are ...
Today’s episode kicks off with a bold premise: what if your AI assistant didn’t just guess, but actually knew where to look?
We’re diving into Retrieval-Augmented Generation, or RAG, a breakthrough that’s quietly rewriting the rules of intelligent systems. Think of it as the difference between a parrot and a librarian: one repeats, the other retrieves, verifies, and delivers insight.
In a world flooded with data and m...
What if the real revolution in AI isn’t about creativity or intelligence, but about cost? According to Boston Consulting Group, 93% of executives plan to invest in AI to reduce costs over the next 18 months. Yet only 26% have successfully scaled it across even one function. That’s not just a gap, it’s a warning.
In this bonus episode, we’re diving into the tension between AI’s promise and its performance. Because whil...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
