  • 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.

Te Reo Māori, translation, and using AI without losing human meaning
Q: What opportunities do you see for AI in New Zealand, and what safeguards should accompany its use?
AI can assist knowledge workers with information processing and quality improvement, but outputs must be checked by humans; stewardship and responsibility are crucial to protect jobs and human connection.
Te Reo Māori, translation, and using AI without losing human meaning
Q: How does Te Reo Māori's concept of language differ from English in translation, and why does that matter for AI?
Te Reo Māori emphasizes voice and relational meaning; the same word can carry multiple cultural implications, so AI must adapt to interpretive and contextual meanings rather than provide a word-for-word swap.
Te Reo Māori, translation, and using AI without losing human meaning
Q: What have you been doing with AI in the last six months, and how has it affected your work as a translator?
I view AI as a driver to humanize technology and to support but not replace the translator's role; it helps with punctuation and initial text breakdown, but seeing and preserving the intent and cultural nuance remains essential.
AI, context, and New Zealand’s data center future
Q: What's your take on how AI is affecting small businesses in NZ today?
Around 80% of NZ companies are engaging with AI in some form, but real outcomes depend on leadership, practical integration, and avoiding overreliance on buzzwords; practical, auditable systems and open-source approaches can help scale benefits for SMEs.
AI, context, and New Zealand’s data center future
Q: What is your view on NZ data centers and the idea of distributed, edge‑based compute for resilience and sovereignty?
Edge, distributed data centers with local energy and water management could make NZ a data-center power player, reducing dependence on offshore platforms and enabling trust through local governance and sustainable practices.
