Had the pleasure of joining Jason Tan on his The Analytics Show podcast for a chat about data governance. It was a wide ranging discussion and covered a lot of ground, including:
The story we tell ourselves about technology and jobs has almost always been wrong, at least in the short term.
Organisations that treat AI as a series of disconnected experiments will end up with expensive demos, shadow IT and AI, and mounting risk rather than real business value.
Artificial intelligence is now a first‑order cyber risk driver, as well as a productivity tool. AI‑accelerated threats, fragile model “harnesses,” and concentrated dependence on a few vendors demand urgent uplift in governance, resilience, and incident response.
Generative AI has hit the peak of inflated expectations. The Gartner Hype Cycle reminds us we've been here before - and shows why governance, not hype, and doing the work still matters.
