  • Lost me when bagging Enterprise Architecture and yet extolling the power platform as... I dunno, an enterprise mature framework? Host got his knickers in a knot when an EA compared PP to excel. That was an ANALOGY, you know... an abstract concept or thought... Never mind, Come on, the PP is an amazing hodgepodge of technologies and brand names but give me break, if an EA has some caution I'm fine with that, slow and steady, EA is not solutions or technologies.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Māori Data Sovereignty and the Future of AI in Aotearoa
Q: What are the lessons learned from how you can have a government come in and just pull the rug out from under you and what was agreed?
Timutimu says the engagement began without a balanced partnership and required his company to transfer the product's intellectual property. He accepted that trade-off to pursue positive impact in Māori health, but learned how important trust and reciprocal relationships are.
Māori Data Sovereignty and the Future of AI in Aotearoa
Q: What's your observation in the first half of 2026?
Timutimu sees a continuing gap in foundational AI literacy among Māori and other communities. Māori AI Wānanga is bringing Māori practitioners together to develop a community-focused vision and support education at the grassroots level.
From Copilot Adoption to Copilot Fluency
Q: How do you divide between using Scout and Cowork?
Cadie sees Scout as suited to repeatable execution, such as drafting responses, while Cowork is useful when a task benefits from strong work context through Work IQ.
From Copilot Adoption to Copilot Fluency
Q: Why do you think this has come about? And then when you're looking at fluency, how have you observed jumping the barrier or dealing with that resistance?
Cadie attributes resistance to loud, clickbait negativity, polarization and fears about jobs and identity. She recommends focusing on possible benefits and helping people identify the human judgment and perspective they can bring to work with AI.
AI, Indigenous Language Sovereignty, and Decolonizing Technology
Q: How are you thinking about, in that university situation, it looks like in what you've described, that they're going to profit off your culture, and they're not necessary even in your culture, they just happen to have collected information about your culture, that they're going to profit. How are you thinking about that, and how are you talking about that then within your communities, and the position that one should take?
MacDonald distinguishes community-held Indigenous knowledge from individually owned intellectual property. She says Indigenous rights frameworks support community ownership and that language and culture should not be turned into resources for outside organizations to extract and sell.
