Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scaling Microsoft 365 Copilot over 400,000 Users at EY with Tom Crinnegan
Q: How are you thinking about usage-based billing?
EY ties requests to the lowest practical budgetary level using internal charge codes, while Crinnegan argues that business leaders should own the budget and that usage should be monitored, justified, and governed.
Scaling Microsoft 365 Copilot over 400,000 Users at EY with Tom Crinnegan
Q: How's that journey been in such a big organization?
Crinnegan says EY uses its E7 licensing, mandatory training, data-protection controls, and a small, carefully managed Frontier group to deploy Copilot across a large, globally regulated workforce.
The Human Skills That Make AI Actually Useful in the Enterprise, with Jamie Bartlett
Q: How have you found it personally in journalism and media?
Bartlett says language models can write better than the average writer, and that he uses them in his own work. He is concerned that immediately outsourcing the organization of ideas can diminish people's ability to think, learn, and form judgments for themselves.
The Human Skills That Make AI Actually Useful in the Enterprise, with Jamie Bartlett
Q: How would you explain what these tools are to the typical enterprise knowledge worker?
Bartlett describes language models as systems that predict likely next tokens from patterns in vast amounts of text. Because their outputs involve probability and randomness, answers can vary, and their behavior can be unpredictable. He says users should understand both their statistical nature and their human-like conversational fluency.
Microsoft Teams Voice Agents and Unify Integration, What is Possible?
Q: How does it work, from a voice models perspective? Is this using models on Foundry, can the customer bring their own model, or is AudioCodes providing the model?
In the managed service, AudioCodes selects the underlying model for each scenario, with an option for customers to bring their own Azure Foundry model, but overall the deployment is managed to optimize performance.
