Tech Talks Daily
What happens when the push for smarter crypto wallets runs headfirst into the reality that everything on a public blockchain can be seen by anyone?

Tech Talks Daily
How is HR changing when AI, economic pressure, and rising employee expectations all collide at once? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I’m joined by Simon Noble, CEO of Cezanne HR, to unpack how the role of HR is evolving from a traditional support function into something far more closely tied to business performance.

3534: Agentic AI at Scale: What 120 Million Monthly Conversations Really Mean
Tech Talks Daily
What does it really mean when AI moves from answering questions to making decisions that affect real people, real money, and real outcomes? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I’m joined by Joe Kim, CEO of Druid AI, for a grounded conversation about why agentic AI is becoming the focus for enterprises that have moved beyond experimentation.

3533: Smart Cities, AI, and Sovereignty, Gorilla Technology’s CTO Explains What Works and What Fails
Tech Talks Daily
The world is building data centers, identity rails, and AI policy stacks at a speed that makes 2026 feel closer than it is. In this conversation, Rajesh Natarajan, Global Chief Technology Officer at Gorilla Technology Group, explains what it takes to engineer platforms that remain reliable, secure, and sovereign-ready for decades, especially when infrastructure must operate outside the safety net of constant cloud connectivity.

I invited Jackie Lorch, VP, Global Knowledge Management of Dynata onto the Tech Talks Daily Podcast to talk about the global research around data privacy. The mistrust between consumers and companies is at an all-time high, according to new data by Dynata. The Data Privacy & Trust report surveyed consumers in nine countries, including the US, to get their perspectives on data transparency by companies, the value exchange, familiarity and privacy.
Topline findings include the facts that 70 percent of consumers agree that companies have been dishonest about how personal data is used. 80 percent of consumers would be more willing to share data if brands were more transparent about their plans for that data. But only 27 percent would feel more comfortable sharing data if “valuable benefits” were offered in exchange.
We further discuss this research and implications to brands, why we need to fundamentally change how we think and talk about transparency and “the value exchange.” We also explore and where we’re at in our evolution around data ownership and privacy.
