Mind the Gap: Navigating the AI Innovation Frontier

How do we close the widening gap between AI's rapid innovation and industry adoption?

In this episode, they examine the emerging two-tier economy in AI implementation, revealing how startups are outpacing larger enterprises while exploring disparities between public and private sectors. Through compelling real-world examples—from healthcare to agriculture—they uncover practical strategies for organizations to harness AI's transformative potential responsibly and equitably. Whether you're leading AI initiatives or developing implementation strategies, this discussion offers valuable insights for navigating the AI innovation frontier.

How do we effectively scale AI adoption across different sectors and organisations?

In this episode, they explore the essential elements for successful AI implementation, revealing why organisations must move beyond efficiency gains to reimagine value delivery. Through real-world examples and strategic insights, they demonstrate why the winners of the AI revolution won't be those creating the most powerful models, but those who successfully mainstream adoption across their organisations. Whether you're stuck in "POC purgatory" or planning your AI scaling strategy, this discussion offers valuable guidance for achieving sustainable AI transformation.

How do we build trust in AI while ensuring responsible implementation?

In this episode, they tackle a striking paradox: while 85% of organisations consider responsible AI a top management issue, only 25% have governance mechanisms in place. Through fascinating historical parallels—from Victorian-era car regulations to early railway standardisation—they explore how clear global standards and regulations can accelerate rather than hinder innovation. Discover why building trust in AI isn't just about technology, but about creating shared vocabularies and frameworks that enable responsible, sustainable scaling across borders.

What lies beyond generative AI?

In this episode, Bernard Marr, Sasha Rubel , and Alexandru Voica explore the next frontier: agentic AI—systems that can learn, adapt, and work autonomously. Through real-world applications in cybersecurity, education, and business, they reveal how this technology is transforming the way organisations operate. Tune in to discover how agentic AI is scaling human expertise in ways previously unimaginable.

How will AI transform the way we work, and what skills will we need to thrive?

In this final episode, they explore the transformative impact of AI on the future of work. As digital skills become more valuable than university degrees, they reveal why tomorrow's workplace will be tech-enabled but human-centred. Join this captivating finale to discover how AI will enhance rather than replace our fundamentally human qualities: creativity, collaboration, and connection.
