   Measuring AI by Business Results Instead of Adoption With Domino Data Lab

   How should a business measure AI success when employee adoption tells leaders very little about revenue, savings, risk, or better decisions? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Thomas Robinson, better known as T-Rob, who recently moved from Chief Operating Officer to CEO of Domino Data Lab. After ten years inside the company, he has seen enterprise AI move through several phases, from specialist data science projects to generative AI tools available across the workforce. T-Rob argues that businesses have become too focused on the technology itself. Generative AI has attracted…

   Braze at Forge 2026: Where Should Human Judgment End and AI Decisioning Begin?

   What happens when artificial intelligence moves beyond helping marketers create content and begins making decisions on their behalf? Recorded at Forge 2026 in Las Vegas, I speak with Astha Malik, Chief Business Officer at Braze, about how AI is changing customer engagement and what marketers should retain control over as more operational work is handed to software.

   Turning Disposable Research Into Continuous Insight With Cint

   What if every market research project could continue contributing to business decisions after its original question had been answered? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Phil Ahad, Managing Director of Data at Cint, to discuss why he believes companies should move away from disposable research. For decades, the familiar model has been straightforward. A business asks a question, commissions a study, receives the answer and begins again when the next question appears. Phil argues that this process wastes useful information and repeatedly asks people for details that may…

   Giving Enterprise AI the Context It Needs With Orange Logic

   Why do increasingly capable AI models struggle to produce reliable answers inside large organizations?

Her career spans military intelligence, data science, and enterprise content technology, and she also teaches in the DAM and AI program at Rutgers University. That combination gives her an unusually practical perspective on how machines interpret information and why business meaning cannot be assumed.

The research surveyed 2,500 workers across the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia to understand how employees experience their devices, applications, sign-in processes, support systems and workplace AI.

   Why AI Favors Whoever Automates Most With Barracuda

   Can security teams defend an organization when attackers are using AI to research targets, personalize messages, identify weaknesses, and launch campaigns at a scale no human team can match? I returned to Alpbach, Austria, for Barracuda TechSummit 26 and caught up with Neal Bradbury one year after our conversation about being secure today and ready tomorrow. A lot has happened since then. Agentic AI has become a boardroom subject, employee AI use has spread across businesses, and attackers have gained access to tools that lower the cost and expertise required to launch sophisticated…

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Kelly Candler, Global Offering Lead for Workplace and Business Process Services at DXC Technology, about moving digital workplace services away from activity metrics and toward employee and business outcomes. Kelly has worked on both sides of the managed services relationship. Before joining DXC, she was a customer of the company and several of its competitors, giving her a practical view of…

   What does cyber resilience look like when leaders must make a costly decision before anyone fully understands the incident?

    Stopping Shadow AI Without Slowing Employees With Liminal

    Can an organization control employee AI use without making the approved tools so restrictive that people simply work around them? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Steven Walchek, Co-Founder and CEO of Liminal, about shadow AI, enterprise governance, data privacy, and the growing tension between employee productivity and corporate security.
