    As AI accelerates software development, the hardware that software runs on is still often built on a slower, separate track, and the gap shows up in what customers receive. In this episode, Kyle Larson, VP of AI Enablement and Cloud Services at IDEMIA, examines why hardware and software now need to be planned and delivered as one product. He covers how to decide what runs on the device versus in the cloud, why developer tools and simulation need to be in place before physical prototypes arrive, and how to evaluate a long-term compute platform by the ecosystem and supplier roadmap around it.

    Pharma is moving toward AI agents, but agents only know the context they are given, so gaps in data and meaning turn into wrong answers at scale. In this episode, Richard Knoche, Head of Data Science and AI at Flatiron Health, explains why a strong data foundation and a well-built semantic layer determine whether AI agents can be trusted with complex real-world data. He walks through how historical human analyses can be used to build and benchmark that semantic layer, why having agents resolve ambiguity before answering improves accuracy and reduces handoffs between teams, and why leaders need centralized data governance and agents that plug into any system rather than siloed, bespoke tools. ​ This episode is sponsored by Flatiron Health ​ Emerj works with a select group of AI vendors to reach Fortune 500 decision makers through research, media, and direct access.

    AI is multiplying the machine identities, unapproved tools, and vendor connections that enterprise risk teams must govern. In this episode, Craig Unger, CEO and Founder at Hyperproof, explains how AI is reshaping enterprise risk and where it can help teams manage it, from scanning for regulatory change to testing entire sets of evidence instead of samples. He also outlines practical steps for leaders: inventory where AI is running and put a governance model around it, automate continuous control monitoring, make existing controls AI-aware, and extend the same scrutiny to vendors.

    Translating content into every language a company serves has become fast and inexpensive, but accurate translation does not ensure that content engages or converts in each market. In this episode, Andrew Thomas, Head of Marketing at Acclaro, explains why global content performance is a governance issue rather than a translation issue, and why leaders should judge localized content by the business outcome it was created to drive. He also covers testing new markets with AI-translated content before investing in local teams, building brand style guides and terminology into AI translation tools to curb shadow localization, and using automated quality checks to decide when an in-country expert needs to review content.

    Customer-facing AI agents often stall between pilot and production, held back by governance overhead and run costs that break the business case. In this episode, Yogesh Bhagat, Vice President of Digital and Technology at CVS Health, explains how autonomous agents earn the right to operate without human oversight by proving consistent, measurable behavior. He discusses validating a shared development platform instead of every agent, pairing small language models with larger judge models to control cost and latency, and giving a small group of customers the full AI experience before optimizing for containment. ​ Learn the exact strategies we use to help leading AI brands and startups connect with their ideal enterprise AI buyers, visit: emerj.com/AD1

    GPU clusters sit idle and budgets balloon when storage can't keep pace with how fast AI workloads are scaling. In this episode, Cameron Bahar, GM of Scale AI at Everpure, explores how storage architecture must shift from rigid, single-purpose systems to flexible, cloud-like models built for constant change. The conversation covers the move from training to inference and agentic workloads, the case for separating metadata from data scaling, and what always-on, multi-tenant infrastructure looks like in practice.

    The cost and skill required to mount a serious cyberattack have collapsed, and most enterprise security programs still test on a quarterly or annual clock. In this episode, Sridhar Boddula, Head of Security Platform Engineering at MassMutual, breaks down why that mismatch is now the central risk for regulated enterprises and what has to change inside a security team to close it. He covers shifting from periodic testing to continuous validation, moving security from a gatekeeping function into the engineering pipeline, and the governance-first first step leaders should take before scaling any new tooling.

    Service organizations hold most of their critical expertise in experienced technicians rather than manuals, and that knowledge is leaving as the workforce turns over. In this episode, Thomas Cottereau, CEO and Founder at SightCall, explores why the real challenge is capturing expertise rather than producing more documentation, and how AI can structure what experts already know into trusted knowledge. He outlines how to capture knowledge inside everyday service work, keep human experts reviewing what AI produces, and treat that knowledge as a continuous loop that feeds both technicians and existing AI systems. ​ This episode is sponsored by SightCall ​ To learn how leading AI brands like NVIDIA and Google Cloud work with Emerj to reach Fortune 500 AI buyers - download our media kit at: emerj.com/AD1

    Enterprise investment in AI is rising faster than the ability to prove what it returns, leaving technology and vendor spend largely unexamined until leadership asks whether it is working. In this episode, Kellen Winters, Director of Customer Success and Business Operations for AI at Novartis, examines why demonstrating AI value starts with building a measurement discipline before any tools are chosen. The conversation covers anchoring AI priorities in the processes where work stalls or drains resources, narrowing a long list of use cases to the few that can be measured, tying pilots to existing KPIs within 90 days, and using a structured intake process to track value from the first idea onward.

    A recommendation that's right 80% of the time sounds fine, until it's steering machinery next to a person. On the factory floor, that margin is the difference between routine and catastrophic. In this episode, Jeff Witt, Global Process Digital Authority at GE Vernova, examines why industrial AI demands a different standard of rigor than its enterprise counterpart, from edge computing architectures to context-rich recommendations frontline workers can trust immediately. He also outlines a framework for earning the right to automate, proving a process is documented, optimized, and consistent before scaling AI across multiple sites. This episode is sponsored by Poka.

    For large banks, the barrier to AI at scale is rarely the model. It's decades of fragmented systems, inherited through mergers, acquisitions, and new products, where each team trusts its own data and no single view of context exists. Agentic AI doesn't fix that fragmentation; it amplifies it across every user and every prompt. ​ In this episode, Nathaniel Bell, Data Management Director at Wells Fargo, joins host Yolandi de Weerdt, to examine why the real challenge for regulated institutions is scaling trust while automating, why leaders should judge new technology on the business outcome it can prove rather than the demo, and why no process should be automated before it's standardized. ​ Bell outlines the practical shifts underway: from manual attestations and spreadsheets toward automated logs that show what happened in a workflow, from governance as document review toward governance built into workflows as code, and from buying new tools toward changing how teams work once they have them. ​ According to Nielsen, 91% of podcast listening happens alone, indicating deep, undistracted attention — ideal for complex B2B messaging. ​ To learn how leading brands and AI startups connect with enterprise AI buyer audiences at scale, download our media kit at emerj.com/AD1

    For AI systems built into vehicles, robots, and industrial equipment, being smart isn't enough — the difference between success and failure often comes down to whether real-time performance was designed in from the start or added on afterward. In this episode, Drew Barbier, Vice President, IP Business Unit at MIPS, breaks down why starting with the software workload, rather than the hardware, produces measurably better outcomes in real-time compute design. The conversation covers a real-world example of a three-to-five-times performance gain from workload-first design, what changes on a team's side when real-time becomes a starting requirement instead of an afterthought, and how leaders can tell within six months whether their approach is working.
