  • Entertaining and insightful

    Not only do they interview interesting people (me excepted, perhaps), but they give them a chance to explain themselves. The questions are probes, not interruptions. It’s a pleasant listening experience.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

AI Is Reshaping Your Entire Stack, Not Just Applications
Q: If you were talking to a CIO, what would you say to prepare them for the next five years in IT and infrastructure?
Encourage leaders to treat AI as an end-to-end infrastructure and application problem, integrating compute, data, security, and governance rather than viewing AI as a separate line of business; focus on cohesive strategy, practical use cases, and cross-enterprise collaboration to manage costs and risk.
Why 5G Isn't About Faster Phones (And What It's Really For)
Q: Could you talk a little bit about what is the AI-RAN alliance?
The alliance aims to develop use cases for AI in telecom networks, focusing on AI for networks and networks for AI, with an emphasis on RAN (radio access network) and broader operations. It seeks to expose network functionality to developers and enable scalable, industry-specific AI applications.
How the Office of the CFO Is Becoming AI-Powered
Q: Where do you see AI delivering the most value in the CFO ecosystem?
AI adds value by automating routine, high-volume tasks, enabling faster, more accurate reporting, improving internal audit and sustainability processes, and freeing teams to focus on strategic decisions like forecasting and planning.
How the Office of the CFO Is Becoming AI-Powered
Q: What does the current regulatory landscape look like compared to a decade ago?
The landscape has become more fragmented with more standards and frameworks; organizations face greater compliance pressure, especially around sustainability and global operations, which necessitates a more integrated data approach to reporting.
The Next Internet Is Coming… And It’s Smarter Than Ever
Q: What should someone with a green field operation do for networking?
They should evaluate products based on the best options for the business's needs and their available resources.
