What does it mean for artificial intelligence to be sovereign? This week, Technology Now explores how more than just data can be sovereign, our AI models using the data can be too. We ask what it actually means for AI models to be sovereign and why companies, and indeed entire countries, would be interested in this concept. Andreas Geiss, Vice-Pres…

How intertwined are AI and sustainability? This week, Technology now explores how we can do more than just use AI in a more sustainable and ethical way, we can harness it as a powerful tool to contribute to sustainability in other industries too. We ask which challenges are facing AI when it comes to sustainability and how can companies build strat…

How can cloud computing be completely isolated from the internet? This week, Technology Now explores the next step in data storage and processing: the concept of a disconnected cloud. Why would someone want their cloud cut off like this? From a single building to an entire country, what are the security and regulatory compliance benefits?! Rich Bir…

How can we minimize the energy waste from data centers? This week, Technology Now explores a potential avenue to harness a large untapped source of energy: excess heat. How much of a problem is the excess heat in the world? How much do data centers actually contribute to the problem? What, if anything, can we do to combat this? Malte Matthies, Busi…

In this episode we are looking at a sector where IT and tech innovation is taking efficiency to a whole new level - manufacturing. Manufacturing is in a precarious position as an industry. In the global north, growth is largely stagnant, according to those same UN statistics. Even in high-growth economies like China, it’s slowing down. It’s also no…

In this episode we are looking once again at our digital security, particularly around the state of the industry in 2025, and the way threats and consumer behaviours are evolving. We’ll be looking at the adoption of new kinds of security, how VPNs are still an evolving part of the security equation, and how Security Service Edge (SSE) is beginning …

In this episode we are taking a fresh look at how AI is affecting the world of cybersecurity. As we’ve explored on the podcast in previous episodes, artificial intelligence has opened up a whole new world of opportunities for our organizations, but it also brings fresh challenges for cybersecurity professionals. We’ll be looking at the current stat…

In this episode we are looking at how technology is allowing us to bring together the potentially dozens or even hundreds of different IT services and systems - from hardware to software and cloud - in use throughout our organizations. It’s an idea known as ‘convergence’, which has been years in the making, but with the rise of AI and edge computin…

In this episode we are taking a trip high above the Earth, and looking at how we are storing our data in space – in particular, how testbeds for running consumer-grade drives on the International Space Station are redefining the edge computing capabilities of future missions to the moon and beyond. Joining us to discuss is Tyler Nelson, Director of…

In this episode, we’re drilling into something that’s arguably under-discussed: How to make IT itself more sustainable through the life cycle of its products. We’ll be talking about how we can build sustainability into our products and why it’s important to think about sustainability at every step of the product life cycle, with Karim Abou Zahab, p…
