  • How to Govern AI Agents in the Enterprise Without Slowing Innovation
    Jan 26 2026

    Do you know what AI Agents are running across your estate?

    If the answer isn't a confident YES, then AI governance shouldn't be an afterthought, it should be your next strategic priority.

    In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I look at how to govern AI agents in the Enterprise, without slowing innovation.

    This podcast episode covers:

    💡 You can't govern what you can't see. Implement consolidated discovery tools to scan across all clouds and create a single source of truth.

    💡 Autonomous systems can't be legally or ethically accountable. Every agent needs a designated human owner responsible for its performance and compliance.

    💡 Stop paying for 3-4 different agents that do the same job. Use estate audits and visualisers to identify dormant or redundant assets and reinvest the savings into true innovation.

    Stop guessing and start controlling your AI ecosystem.

  • Open AI Announces Ads for ChatGPT – What You Need to Know!
    Jan 19 2026

    The recent announcement that ChatGPT will begin showing advertisements marks a significant, yet pragmatic, evolution in the AI monetisation landscape. This move directly addresses the immense financial and computational costs of maintaining and advancing Generative AI at scale.

    In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I explore the key implications for Tech Leaders and the broader industry:

    💡 The Financial Imperative – Explore the reported $1.4 trillion infrastructure commitment and how advertising provides a sustainable model to support the free tier, ensuring wider AI accessibility.

    💡 The Responsible Approach - Examine OpenAI's stated principles, including Answer Independence and Conversation Privacy, as well as the debate on whether these safeguards are sufficient to maintain user trust and mitigate the risk of AI Bias.

    💡 The User Experience Trade-Off - Analyse the new two-tiered system (ad-free for paid users, ad-supported for free) and what this means for the future quality and utility of Digital Assistants.

    What is your take? Is this a necessary step for AI sustainability, or a compromise of the technology's original vision?

  • Why Human-Centric AI is the Key to Long-term Business Value
    Jan 12 2026

    Are your AI initiatives stalling?

    Many organisations focus on the tech, but the real secret to success lies in people and culture.

    In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I explore why Human-Centric AI is the key to long-term business value. I discuss why AI adoption isn't just about technology, but about changing how work gets done, decision-making, and even professional identity.

    Key takeaways from this episode:

    💡 Why successful AI programs are always business-led, not technology-led.

    💡 Thinking of AI as a colleague, not just a tool, and fostering psychological safety.

    💡 The importance of an inclusive, human-centric AI strategy that augments human judgment.

    💡 Why leadership behaviour and clear governance are pivotal for successful adoption.

    Don't let your AI efforts fall short. Tune in to understand how to build resilient, inclusive cultures ready for the future of tech.

  • Google Smart Glasses 2026 Relaunch - How AI and Wearable Tech Are Transforming the Future of Personal Computing
    Jan 5 2026

    Remember Google Glass? It was a futuristic vision that arrived a decade too early. Now, Google is planning a 2026 relaunch, and this time, everything has changed.

    In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I discuss the relaunch of this technology, but this isn't just a reboot; it's a complete transformation powered by AI and a new, critical focus on wearability.

    In this episode I explore:

    💡 Why the original 2013 version failed (price, awkwardness, social acceptance)

    💡 How AI is turning smart glasses into a contextual assistant, not just a screen

    💡 The fierce competition from Meta (Ray-Ban) and the crucial role of fashion and design

    💡 The biggest challenge: Will we ever fully accept wearable cameras and microphones?

    Smart glasses are poised to become the next serious frontier in personal computing. Do you think Google's second attempt will succeed, or will privacy concerns hold back the mass adoption of smart glasses?

  • Safety or Surveillance? The Use of Facial Recognition in Shops to Help Fight Crime
    Dec 26 2025

    Is the price of safety the end of anonymity?

    UK retail is fighting back against rising crime with Facial Recognition technology like Facewatch. But this powerful tool comes with a massive ethical and legal question mark.

    In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I look at the undeniable success in tackling repeat offenders and boosting staff safety. But also, explore the serious risks of false positives, GDPR compliance, and the erosion of public privacy.

    It's not about choosing sides, it's about choosing standards. How do we govern biometric surveillance responsibly? Listen to this podcast to hear more thoughts on this topic.

  • Human in the Loop – Building an Effective AI Strategy
    Dec 15 2025

    Is your organisation's AI strategy built on a solid foundation, or is it a fast-track to fragmentation and risk?

    In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I explore the shift from AI experimentation to responsible execution. I address the critical question of how do we use AI effectively, and in a way that works alongside human expertise.

    The concept of Human-in-the-Loop is more vital than ever! Human-in-the-Loop isn't about slowing down automation, it's about building resilience and ethical guardrails. I discuss why human oversight is essential for:

    💡 Catching anomalies and preventing AI hallucinations before they impact the business.

    💡 Providing the fairness, empathy, and contextual understanding that algorithms cannot replicate.

    💡 Using human feedback to keep AI aligned with your organisation's values and customer expectations.

    AI accelerates, but humans steer! Learn how to classify decisions, build clear oversight layers, and ensure your staff has the training to partner effectively with AI. The future is a human-at-the-centre model.

    Listen now to understand how to build an effective AI strategy that drives real growth, innovation, and trust.

  • AI Shopping - The Holiday Tech Battle
    Dec 1 2025

    This holiday shopping season, the battle for the future of e-commerce is being fought by Agentic AI assistants like Perplexity and Amazon's Rufus.

    In this episode of the Inspiring Tech Leaders podcast, I discuss the debate of Innovation vs. Immaturity with AI Assisted Shopping and breakdown the following:

    💡 The Outdated Product Problem - Why generalist AI often recommends last-generation gifts.

    💡 The strategic masterstroke of Perplexity's Instant Buy with PayPal.

    💡 The power of Amazon's Rufus and its hyper-personalised, agentic utility.

    💡 The legal conflict that is forcing the old guard to defend its turf and will define Retail Tech's next era.

    The shift to Agentic AI is inevitable, but the technology is still working out the kinks, both technical and legal. Tune in to understand the true value proposition for Tech Leaders and consumers alike.
