AI PCs Explained With Logan Lawler from Dell Technologies
Tech Talks Daily
What actually happens when AI stops being a cloud-only experiment and starts running on desks, in labs, and inside real teams trying to ship real work? In this episode, I sit down with Logan Lawler, Senior Director at Dell Technologies, to unpack how AI workloads are really being built and supported on the ground today. Logan leads Dell’s Precision and Pro Max AI Solutions business and hosts Dell’s own Reshaping Workflows podcast, giving him a rare vantage point into how engineers, developers, creatives, and data teams are actually working, not how marketing slides suggest they should be....

Cisco Live 2026 Amsterdam: Why AI Agents Fail Without Infrastructure Ready For Scale
Tech Talks Daily
What does it really take to move AI from experimentation into something enterprises can trust, scale, and rely on every day? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I’m joined by Rob Lay, CTO and Solutions Engineering Director for Cisco UK and Ireland, recorded in the run-up to Cisco Live EMEA in Amsterdam. As agentic AI dominates conference agendas on both sides of the Atlantic, this conversation steps away from model hype. It focuses on the less glamorous, but far more decisive layer underneath it all: infrastructure. Rob explains why the biggest constraint on scaling AI agents in production...

Motive on Why Accurate, Real-Time Edge AI Saves Lives in Physical Operations.
Tech Talks Daily
As someone who spends a lot of time covering AI announcements, product launches, and conference stages, it is easy to forget that most AI today is still built for desks, screens, and digital workflows. Yet the reality is that the vast majority of the global workforce operates in the physical world, on roads, construction sites, depots, and job sites where mistakes are measured in injuries, collisions, and lives lost. That gap between where AI innovation happens and where real risk exists is exactly why I wanted to sit down with Amish Babu, CTO at Motive. In this episode, I speak with Amish...

LastPass CEO: If the Browser is AI's New Interface, What Does it Mean for Security?
Tech Talks Daily
Is the browser quietly becoming the most powerful and dangerous interface in modern work? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Karim Toubba, CEO of LastPass, to unpack a shift that many people feel every day but rarely stop to question. The browser is no longer just a window to the internet. It has become the place where work happens, where SaaS lives, and increasingly, where humans and AI agents meet data, credentials, and decisions. From AI-native browsers to prompt-based navigation and headless agents acting on our behalf, the way we access information is changing fast, and...

Harness And The AI Velocity Paradox Slowing Software Delivery
Tech Talks Daily
What really happens when AI helps teams write code faster, but everything else in the delivery process starts to slow down? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I’m joined once again by returning guest and friend of the show, Martin Reynolds, Field CTO at Harness. It has been two years since we last spoke, and a lot has changed since then. Martin has relocated from London to North Carolina, gaining back hours of his working week. Still, the bigger shift has been in how AI is reshaping software delivery inside modern enterprises. Our conversation centers on what Martin calls the AI velocity...

FreedomPay on The $44.4 Billion Payment Risk Facing Retail And Hospitality
Tech Talks Daily
What really happens to a business when payments stop working, even for a few minutes? I recorded this episode live at Dynatrace Perform in Las Vegas, inside the Venetian, surrounded by engineers, operators, and business leaders all wrestling with the same uncomfortable reality. Payment outages are no longer rare edge cases. They are becoming a routine operational risk, and the cost is far higher than many organizations realize. To unpack that shift, I sat down with Victoria Ruffo, Software Engineering Team Lead at FreedomPay, for a grounded and practical conversation about resilience,...
info_outlineHow Do Marketplaces Turn AI Ambition Into Scalable, Trusted Enterprise Reality? That is the question I explore in this episode with Julie Teigland, Global Vice Chair for Alliances and Ecosystems at EY, someone who sits right at the intersection of enterprise demand, technology platforms, and the ecosystems that increasingly power modern AI adoption.
As organizations race to deploy AI at scale, many are discovering that the real challenge is not a lack of tools, but the complexity of choosing, integrating, governing, and standing behind those decisions with confidence.
Julie explains why marketplaces are becoming a powerful mechanism for reducing friction in this process, helping enterprises move beyond experimentation toward AI solutions that are trusted, scalable, and aligned with real business outcomes. We talk about how marketplaces can collapse complexity, curate choice, and bring much needed clarity to leaders who are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of AI options available today.
Julie also shares how EY approaches this challenge through its “client zero” mindset, turning the lens inward and treating EY itself as the first marketplace customer.
By doing so, EY stress tests governance, security, and integration at real enterprise scale, serving tens of thousands of clients, running hundreds of thousands of servers, and processing hundreds of millions of transactions every day. That internal experience shapes how EY helps clients navigate trust, accountability, and cross-vendor integration risks, particularly as AI becomes more embedded into workflows and decision-making.
We also explore how strong alliances with cloud leaders like Microsoft and SAP are shaping how AI solutions are vetted, standardized, and deployed across industries, as well as how regulation, particularly in Europe, is influencing a shift toward responsibility by design.
This conversation goes beyond technology to focus on orchestration, trust, and outcomes, and why marketplaces are evolving from simple app stores into something far more strategic for enterprise AI.
If you are trying to understand how ecosystems, governance, and marketplaces can help turn AI from isolated projects into sustained business value, this episode offers a thoughtful and grounded perspective.
I would love to know what resonated with you most. How do you see marketplaces shaping the future of AI adoption inside your organization?
