Currys CEO Alex Baldock & Octopus Energy's Greg Jackson on Retail, Energy, Regulation and AI Jimmy hosts a panel with Currys CEO Alex Baldock and Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson on how retail and energy drive jobs, growth and prosperity. Baldock outlines Currys' scale (nearly £10bn sales, 24,000 colleagues) and argues retail employs around 20% of the private sector workforce with rising productivity, but faces policy-driven cost increases, red tape and employment regulation that threaten flexible entry-level jobs. Jackson describes Octopus' rapid growth (8m UK households, operations in 30 countries), the demerger and valuation of its Kraken platform, and diversification into EV leasing and charging. Both stress competition over heavy regulation, cite inefficiencies and distortions in UK energy pricing, discuss geopolitical risks and electrification, and explain how AI is transforming customer service, operations and energy system optimization. 00:00 Welcome and Introductions 03:06 Currys Retail Snapshot 03:41 Retail Jobs and Productivity 05:10 Octopus Energy and Kraken 08:47 Enterprise and Profit Narrative 12:17 Regulation and Competition 17:10 Energy Shocks and Electrification 21:43 Inflation and Cost Pressures 29:36 Employment Costs and Flex Work 36:09 Work Culture and Transparency 41:44 AI Impact on Retail and Energy 49:27 Closing Thanks and Networking Credits: Host / Exec Producer: Jimmy McLoughlin OBE Producer: Sunny Winter https://www.linkedin.com/in/sunnywinter/ Junior Producer: Thuy Dong AP: Ethan Pearman Special thanks to the Margaret Thatcher Conference organising team.

Dante joins the Inside Economics crew to dissect the May jobs report, which he describes as shocking. The team discusses whether there is enough evidence to declare that the labor market and underlying job growth have shifted into a higher gear, and debates the growing disconnect between the payroll and household surveys. The stats game delivers some interesting insights about the strength of job growth for women and the impact that remote work has had on young college graduates.

On today's Technology Report, Vince Crisler, who was the chief information security officer at the White House during the George W Bush administration who is now the CISO at cyber security firm Celerium and serves as a member of the Pentagon's Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity Information Sharing Environment, joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss how ever more powerful AI models change cybersecurity; how the government should assess the security implications of new models as President Trump prepares to sign an executive order that would give the government a month to review models before their release; how to improve cybersecurity across the defense industrial base and flaws with the CMMC approach; and his company's “DIB CyberDome.”
Send us Fan MailAndrew Palmer is a long-time editor and columnist at The Economist, where he writes the widely read Bartleby column on work and life. He also hosts Boss Class, one of The Economist's most popular podcasts, whose most recent season explored generative AI in the workplace, a topic Andrew approached not just as a journalist, but as a self-described unsophisticated user determined to get smarter by doing.In this episode, Andrew draws on his reporting and interviews with leaders across industries to offer an outside-in view of where AI adoption actually stands, and why the gap between the hype and the reality is not a sign of failure, but of how complex change really is.In this conversation, we discuss:Why AI adoption faces three distinct barriers (behavioral, technical, and organizational) and why solving one without the others leaves productivity gains stranded.Why structural reskilling frameworks (like Denmark's flexicurity model and Singapore's voucher-based lifelong learning system) offer a more credible response to AI disruption than waiting for policy to catch up.Why Johnson & Johnson's "let a thousand flowers bloom" approach to AI experimentation produced a Pareto effect (15% of projects generating 85% of value) and what they changed as a result.How the AI productivity boom is real at the individual level but not yet showing up in aggregate data, and why Andrew believes that gap is a question of time, not technology.Why enlightened corporate leadership requires transparency about potential job disruption and a commitment to adjacent career planning rather than performative optimism.What work in 2036 might look like, and why Andrew's most unsettling prediction has nothing to do with jobs, and everything to do with privacy.Explore this conversation:00:00 Introduction to AI and the Future of Work episode 39101:14 AI fun fact: AI legislative speed versus technological advancement03:51 Meet Andrew Palmer The Economist Bartleby Column Boss Class06:14 Digital Doppelganger and AI Personality Traits07:57 AI Adoption Barriers Behavioral Technical and Organizational11:01 AI Impact at Work Startups vs Large Organizations14:15 Leadership Humility and AI Uncertainty in the Workplace17:41 AI Experimentation at Scale Lessons from Johnson and Johnson24:26 AI vs SaaS Productivity Data and the Speed of Adoption27:35 Balancing AI Automation with Human Meaning at Work31:26 AI Policy Reskilling and Lifelong Learning for the Future36:03 Work in 2036 AI Monitoring Privacy and Constant Surveillance38:47 Who Really Controls AI and What That Means for Workers44:08 Connect with Andrew Palmer and Boss Class The EconomistResources:Subscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Andrew on LinkedInAI fun fact articleOn How Arvind Jain Is Shaping the Future of Enterprise Search Another episode mentioned in the interview: How we can take back control from Big Tech with Tom Wheeler, former FCC Chairman, CEO, VC, and author of Techlash.
Semiconductor stocks continue to dominate market leadership as AI spending, data center demand, and investor enthusiasm push valuations higher. But is the semiconductor trade becoming dangerously overcrowded? Lance Roberts & Michael Lebowitz examine whether the current AI-driven semiconductor boom is sustainable or if markets are entering another phase of excessive speculation. We discuss narrow market breadth, concentration risk inside major indexes, memory chip pricing, Korea's growing importance in the global semiconductor supply chain, and whether investor optimism is outrunning economic reality.

If you want to get the skinny on anything related to financial markets or the financial system, then you need to talk with Samim Ghamami, Chief Economist of the New York state Insurance Fund. That's what Mark and Cris do on this podcast.

AI is changing how professionals communicate, market, and build relationships on LinkedIn but using more automation doesn't always lead to better outcomes. In this episode of the FIT4Privacy Podcast, we sit down with Judi Hays, LinkedIn strategist and author of Elevate, Expand, Engage, to explore how AI is reshaping visibility, credibility, and professional branding on LinkedIn. Judy explains why AI should be treated as an assistant, not a replacement, and why unchecked automation can quietly damage trust and reputation. KEY MOMENTS 02:00 — The world of AI Privacy 02:30 — AI Impact on Marketing 05:45 — Concerns on Privacy 09:02 — LinkedIn Algorithm Shift 15:12 — Elevate Expand Engage Framework 22:23 — AI Bots and Automation Risk 26:40 — About the book “Elevate Expand Engage” 28:30 — Final Message From AI‑generated comments and outreach tools to voice notes mistaken for synthetic audio, this conversation highlights how easily authenticity can be lost. We discuss why LinkedIn is not a selling platform, how the algorithm has shifted to prioritize integrity over hacks, and why saves and meaningful comments now matter more than likes or hashtags. The episode also dives into privacy and security concerns, including risky links, fake profiles, and automation tools that can lead to account suspension. Whether you're a consultant, executive, job seeker, or founder, this conversation offers practical, experience-based guidance on how to use AI responsibly while building a trusted professional presence. If you're navigating LinkedIn in the age of AI, this episode will help you understand what has changed, what no longer works, and why authenticity still wins. ⸻ ABOUT THE GUEST Judi Radice Hays is a New York-based LinkedIn strategist, personal brand expert, and author of Elevate, Expand, Engage: A Refreshingly Different Approach to Winning on LinkedIn.

Artificial intelligence is evolving faster than ever - and the debate over AI safety, regulation, and control is intensifying. In this episode of Ways to Change the World, Krishnan Guru-Murthy speaks to Jack Clark, co-founder and Head of Policy at Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI systems. A former journalist turned AI insider, Clark has been at the centre of some of the biggest debates shaping the future of this technology - from safety and regulation to the race between innovation and control.They discuss Clark's journey from reporting on AI to building it, his decision to leave OpenAI over concerns about safety, and the growing fear that powerful systems are outpacing our ability to manage them. From warning governments at the UN to grappling with the risks as a father, Clark reflects on the tension at the heart of his work: what does it mean to build something you believe could be dangerous?

As agentic development accelerates your SDLC, the guardrails matter more than ever — and most teams don't have them.In this episode, Egil Osthus, CEO of Unleash, makes the case for FeatureOps as a strategic capability — not just a developer convenience. He explains the shift from a project mindset to a product mindset, where releases are decoupled from deployments and business outcomes matter more than shipping scope. Egil breaks down the four pillars of FeatureOps — gradual rollout, full stack experimentation, surgical rollback, and lifecycle management — and why each one becomes even more critical as AI-generated code flows faster into production. He also warns against building your own feature flag solution in-house, and shares what the rise of agentic development means for engineers who must now act as guardians of an oversight layer.Key topics discussed:Project mindset vs. product mindset in software deliveryThe 4 pillars of FeatureOps and what each one solvesWhy feature flags scare executives — and how to win them overDecoupling deployment from release across Dev, PM, and MarketingThe danger of rolling your own feature flag solutionHow local evaluation keeps feature flags fast and privateBlast radius management in an AI-accelerated SDLCWhat vibe coders get wrong about day-two operationsTimestamps:(00:00) Trailer & Intro(02:36) What Is the Current State of Feature Flag Adoption Across the Industry?(05:32) Why Is Feature Flag Adoption So Challenging Despite Its Apparent Simplicity?(10:44) How Does FeatureOps Differ From CI/CD and Progressive Delivery?(12:26) What Are the Four Core Pillars of FeatureOps?(16:11) How Can Teams Shift the Perception of Feature Flags From Tactical to Strategic?(20:46) How Do Feature Flags Align the Needs of Developers, Product Managers, and Marketing?(25:09) How Do Organizations Effectively Define Responsibilities for Strategic Feature Flags?(28:03) Does Using Feature Flags Enable Your Team to Deploy on Fridays?(30:41) What Is Unleash and How Does It Scale for Enterprise Needs?(34:54) What Are the Hidden Dangers of Building Your Own Feature Flag Solution?(39:32) Why Are Local Evaluation and Privacy Core to Unleash's Design?(44:48) How Does the Rise of AI Impact the Evolution of FeatureOps?(52:02) What Specific Guardrails Does FeatureOps Provide to Improve Safety?(54:21) Can FeatureOps Platforms Use AI to Autonomously Manage Feature Rollouts?(55:33) What Essential FeatureOps Advice Should Every Vibe Coder Follow?(59:53) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Egil Osthus's BioEgil Østhus is the co-founder and CEO of Unleash, the world's leading open-source feature management platform.

**Boys and Girls, We're Back! Tyler from MORRFlate Returns – Tire Inflation Wars, Copycats, Patents & Off-Road Innovation** We're back with another awesome episode of the Jeep Talk Show! Tyler from MORRFlate joins us again for a raw, honest conversation about building a business in the off-road world, dealing with big-time copycats, patent battles, and why competition (the right kind) actually drives innovation. Tyler has been wheeling Toyotas all over California since he was a kid, lives close to the Rubicon Trail, runs NorCal 4x4 Rescue, co-hosts the Snail Trail 4x4 Podcast, and has poured serious support into trail advocacy. In this return visit (first one was back in September 2025), he opens up about getting threatened by a major player, the reality of enforcing patents, and how a $3M company competes against $45M giants with deep marketing pockets. We dive deep into: - How MORRFlate's 4-tire inflation/deflation system works (connects all four tires as one big air tank, equalizes pressure automatically, saves massive time on the trail) - The frustration of direct copies (even stealing the signature neon green color) - Why patents aren't the silver bullet everyone thinks - Airflow limitations of Schrader valves and future ideas to fix the bottleneck - Building a company from a garage condo to a team of 8+ with a warehouse in Sacramento - Lifetime warranties, obsessive quality control, and hiring fellow off-roaders - AI chatbots on the website, robots in manufacturing, and how AI is changing marketing and product design Tyler also shares his 30-second elevator pitch: MORRFlate makes airing up and down your tires super convenient so you can actually enjoy the trail instead of babysitting a compressor. If you've ever deflated for traction, fought with individual tire hoses, or dreamed of faster air-ups on your Jeep, Toyota, or any rig — this one's for you. **Timestamps:** 00:00:00 Show Opening 00:00:10 Misnaming Moore Flat 00:00:31 Tyler's Background & Sales 00:01:19 Previous Interview & Threats 00:02:06 Acquisition Threat & Patent Journey 00:03:08 Patent Approval & Copycats 00:04:01 Company Name Confidential 00:04:33 Patent Enforcement Costs 00:05:21 Competition and Innovation 00:06:35 Amazon Listings & Pricing 00:08:03 RealTruck Ownership Impact 00:09:12 Podcast Monetization Issues 00:09:41 Morfleet Product Overview 00:11:07 Tire Deflation Benefits 00:12:59 Airflow Limits of Valves 00:13:28 Air Tank Volume Calculations 00:14:43 Limited Tank Capacity Demo 00:15:46 Compressor Performance Insights 00:16:24 Personal Projects & Ideas 00:17:40 Upcoming Valve Projects 00:19:07 Valve Interior Flow Restriction 00:21:41 Heavy Equipment Valve Solutions 00:23:48 Apex Rapid Valve Review 00:24:15 Challenges with Large Tires 00:24:59 Passion for Problem Solving 00:29:04 Warehouse & Quality Control 00:34:48 Lifetime Warranty Strategy 00:37:02 Customer Focus Assurance 00:38:22 Employee Attitude Culture 00:39:50 Testing Competitor Gear 00:40:51 People-Centric Philosophy 00:43:28 Corporate vs Small Business 00:44:07 Politics and Truth 00:45:47 Vendor Conflict Over Copying 00:49:05 AI Chatbot Deployment 00:50:30 AI, Quality Control & Robotics 00:53:25 AI in Product Design 00:54:51 AI Impact on Jobs 00:57:45 Minimum Wage Debate 00:58:49 Digital Media & AI 01:02:40 Show Recap & Future 01:04:25 Closing Thanks 01:06:38 Final Thanks & Friendship 01:09:02 Interview Conclusion **Links:** - MORRFlate Official Site: https://morrflate.com/ (Check out the Quad hose kits, Air Hub, and play with their AI chatbot!) - Tyler on Instagram/X: @4x4ToyotaTyler - MORRFlate on Social: @morrflate - Snail Trail 4x4 Podcast: Search "Snail Trail 4x4" on your favorite platform (830+ episodes!)

Phil Rosen goes Inside The ICE House to explain how Middle East tensions are driving short-term volatility and testing investor confidence. He outlines why history suggests geopolitical shocks and oil price swings are typically temporary, often rewarding investors who stay the course. Rosen argues that selling on fear has historically underperformed holding through uncertainty, even as markets rotate beneath the surface. He closes by examining how artificial intelligence is reshaping the labor market, widening the gap between experienced workers and younger job seekers entering the workforce.

This week on TrendsTalk, ITR Economist and Speaker Taylor St. Germain breaks down how AI is reshaping the labor market and why white-collar industries are seeing a different impact than blue-collar sectors. While many businesses are investing heavily in AI, layoffs and workforce shifts are not happening evenly across the economy. What does this mean for hiring, wages, and long-term workforce strategy? And why are some industries seeing more stability despite ongoing labor shortages?

Welcome to another episode of Build a Better Agency! Host Drew McLellan sits down with Emily Thompson, marketing manager at CoSchedule, to unpack the just-released AI Impact 2026 research study. With 900 respondents spanning every industry, company size, and marketing level, this is one of the most comprehensive looks at how marketers are actually using AI today and what they plan to prioritize in the year ahead. Despite reporting declining ROI across every major channel in 2025, a striking 79% of marketers say AI positively impacted their performance, and yet only 3% consider themselves AI experts. Emily and Drew dig into what that gap means for agencies, why owned channels like organic search and email are taking the biggest hits, and why the oversaturation of AI-generated AI research content is actually one of the strongest arguments for what agencies do best. The data is full of contradictions that agencies are uniquely positioned to help clients untangle. From the surprising stat that 53% of marketers now use AI tools (not Google) as their primary source of information discovery, to the finding that AI research shows humans still own strategy, this episode is a masterclass in reading the room on behalf of your clients. If you want to know where the real agency opportunity lives in 2026, this conversation is where to start. A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

What You Will Learn Why 79% of marketers feel positively about AI even as ROI declines across every channel What the AI research data reveals about how marketers are actually using AI in 2026 vs. 2025 Why only 3% of marketers consider themselves AI experts and what that means for agency opportunity Which channels are declining most and why owned media is taking the biggest hit Why lead generation is the top 2026 priority and why marketers channel choices do not yet match that goal How 53% of marketers now rely on AI tools over Google for information discovery Why differentiation (not AI adoption alone) will determine agency success in a saturated market What it means to be your clients AI Sherpa and how to position that as a core offering
The Inside Economics team is joined by Matt Colyar to discuss the week's loaded economic data slate. First, Matt offers a detailed reaction to March's hot CPI report – the first inflation data capturing effects from the conflict in the Middle East. Next, the group discusses how each is thinking about their recession probabilities in light of the tenuous ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran and the latest economic data. The group closes, of course, with the numbers game where Mark reveals that he doesn't file his own taxes, and despite not eating meat, Cris provides an update on how America's steakhouses are faring amid rising beef costs.

In this episode of Engineering Enablement, Jesse Adametz joins Abi Noda, this time to host. Together, they explore how AI is showing up across the SDLC, not just in code generation, and how it is shifting bottlenecks across the development process. They unpack what “AI readiness” actually means in practice, and why it often comes down to developer experience fundamentals like documentation, environments, and feedback loops.They also discuss why enablement matters more than tool choice, how teams are thinking about measuring ROI, and what changes as background agents become more common. Finally, they explore how the role of the engineer may evolve, the open questions teams are still grappling with, and the challenges of non-engineers contributing to codebases.Where to find Jesse Adametz: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesseadametz • X: https://x.com/jesseadametz • Website: https://www.jesseadametz.com/Where to find Abi Noda:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abinoda In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Intro(02:12) Where AI is showing up across the SDLC(05:53) AI readiness and its link to developer experience(08:23) Why enablement, education, and experimentation matter more than tool choice(13:05) The case for a dedicated enablement team(14:50) Measuring AI ROI: challenges and tradeoffs(19:46) Background agents and token spend(24:12) Measuring agent output with PR throughput(26:58) How the engineer role might change(31:01) Specs and documentation in the age of AI(33:11) Non-engineers writing code(35:30) What's changing in the SDLC and open questionsReferenced:• Measuring AI code assistants and agents• Lessons from Twilio's multi-year platform consolidation• The Phoenix Project: A Novel About IT, DevOps, and Helping Your Business Win• How Claude remembers your project - Claude Code Docs• specIsJustCode : r/ProgrammerHumor

Together at last. In a rare joint performance, Dante and Matt join the Inside Economics crew to unpack January's jobs and CPI reports. The brief federal government shutdown delayed economic data releases a few days, which made for a loaded slate this week. Dante shares his impression of January's seemingly strong jobs report and then the team plays the stats game. A brief hiatus did not affect Marisa's ability to dominate. Matt then goes through the first inflation data of 2026, and where it looks like inflation is headed in the coming months.View the Full U.S. Macroeconomic Outlook Webinar here: https://events.moodys.com/ta6186-2026-bank-odwbn-mau28334-us-economic-outlook-q1View our AI generated paper here: https://www.economy.com/getfile?q=165AB685-ED95-43E8-8533-DA2CE131A01A&app=downloadHosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X' and BlueSky @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn Questions or Comments, please email us at helpeconomy@moodys.com.

In the Oscar-winning film Shakespeare in Love, theater owner Henslowe explains that the theatrical business faces "insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster," yet somehow "it all turns out well.” It's a mystery he can't explain. This week's podcast channels that spirit as Moody's Analytics economist, Dante DeAntonio, joins Mark and Cris to dissect the labor market despite the delayed employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The team navigates volatility across financial markets and examines the outlook for employment and consumer spending in light of AI adoption and the stabilization of the saving rate. Like Henslowe's faith that the show goes on, they explore whether the economy will find its way through even when the data arrives fashionably late.Hosts: Mark Zandi – Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, Cris deRitis – Deputy Chief Economist, Moody's Analytics, and Marisa DiNatale – Senior Director - Head of Global Forecasting, Moody's AnalyticsFollow Mark Zandi on 'X' and BlueSky @MarkZandi, Cris deRitis on LinkedIn, and Marisa DiNatale on LinkedIn Questions or Comments, please email us at helpeconomy@moodys.com.
