Alex Rutter: Transparency? Google’s Got It Covered 19:19

منذ 5 أيام19:19

19:19

Every tech vendor is trying to crack AI, but does that match up to how it's being adopted on the ground? In this episode Tom and Alex Rutter of Google Cloud talk about the difference in approach from IT leaders - focusing on governance, compliance and integration - and business leaders - eager to move quickly and pushing for quick, transformative wins. Alex outlines how Google's prioritisation of 'consumable' AI, practical tools that solve problems today, is trying to satisfy both groups. We also explore the role of open models like Gemma, the importance of transparency in AI systems, and how agentic AI could shape the next wave of enterprise innovation.

Leon Butler, IBM’s UK and Ireland CEO, explains why most generative AI models aren't fit for enterprise use and stresses the need for transparent, trusted systems. He also discusses how recent acquisitions - including HashiCorp and DataStax - support IBM’s push to automate enterprise IT. Leon talks about other key IT areas, like data sovereignty and regulation; agentic AI; and quantum security. He argues that this is the time to work on preparing for quantum threats, even if adoption feels distant.

Paul Williamson: Is Big AI Losing its Edge? 20:17

General purpose AI models are great if you want to discuss everything from geopolitics to baking with the same chatbot; but when you have hard limits on data and compute, you need a more focused system. Enter, small language models. This week Tom talks to Arm's Paul Williamson about what the rise of SLMs means for edge computing and the people who use it; different ways to shrink language models; and how a change in software dev behaviour is forcing hardware makers to evolve.

Richard Richison: RIP, MFA 11:30

Multifactor authentication is better than nothing, but is it really just a false sense of security? With attackers increasingly knowing how to break MFA, whether technically or through social engineering, director Richard Richison switched his entire company of 1,600 employees over to a phishing-resistant process relying on biometric security keys and device-level checks. In this episode of Ctrl Alt Lead, Richard and I talk about the flaws of modern MFA, potential replacements, and his selection and global rollout of a brand new system - plus the widespread embrace of the same, a rarity in anything related to cybersecurity! Click here to view the Kevin Mitnick video Richard discusses in the episode, showing how hackers can bypass two-factor authentication.

Reed co-founder Mark Ridley and Dr Andrew MacLaren, Associate Professor of Team Communication at Heriot-Watt University, join Tom to talk all about the points for and against office vs remote work - and why hybrid might be not the perfect middle ground.
