Anne-Claire Chanvin a passé dix ans en finance d'entreprise audit chez PWC, contrôle de gestion chez L'Oréal, puis Head of Finance d'une licorne allemande — avant de fonder FinOp360, un cabinet spécialisé dans la transformation IA des équipes finance. C'est depuis ce terrain qu'elle parle, avec des chiffres et des cas vécus.En novembre 2025, elle a sondé une deux centaine de professionnels de la finance à Financium : 65 % en sont à l'exploration individuelle, 20 % au premier cas d'usage collectif, et 10 % n'ont pas encore touché à ces outils. En face, les équipes marketing affichent 60 % d'adoption selon les données OpenAI 2024, contre 7 % en finance. Cet écart n'est pas une fatalité, mais il a des causes précises qu'elle détaille dans cet épisode.Les LLM ont d'abord été présentés comme des outils de rédaction et de synthèse — naturels pour le marketing, moins évidents pour un contrôleur de gestion dont le travail repose sur des données chiffrées. Les premiers modèles étaient peu fiables en mathématiques. Et les équipes, déjà sous pression, n'ont pas eu de temps structuré pour expérimenter. À quoi s'ajoute un frein souvent mal posé : la confidentialité des données, régulièrement invoquée alors que l'infrastructure cloud est déjà partagée avec des prestataires externes.Chez Choco, où elle pilotait la finance France puis Group au moment du lancement de ChatGPT, elle a démontré ce que l'IA peut produire concrètement. L'objectif initial — 4 heures gagnées par mois — est rapidement passé à 4 heures par semaine, puis à une journée entière par personne. Un exemple précis : l'automatisation de la facturation, en connectant l'outil de signature de contrats à l'ERP via Zapier et une macro Google Apps Script. Le taux d'avoirs est passé de 8 % à moins de 1 %. Le temps consacré à la facturation : d'un jour à une heure par semaine.Elle couvre aussi les erreurs qui font perdre du temps — au niveau de l'entreprise comme au niveau individuel — et les quatre domaines où les gains arrivent le plus vite : la communication et la rédaction, les assistants IA personnalisés, l'automatisation des tâches répétitives, et l'analyse financière assistée par les données internes.Je m'appelle Jonathan Plateau. Je suis passé par EY, Valeo et Safran et j'essaye d'engager des échanges et des réflexions sur nos métiers de la finance.Ma mission : vous offrir une expérience éducative, divertissante et parfois surprenante.Ce podcast est fait pour les directeurs financiers (DAF, CFO), les contrôleurs de gestion, qu'ils soient juniors ou confirmés, et qui souhaitent profiter des échanges entre pairs pour enrichir leur pratique de la finance au quotidien et tendre vers le business partner.Joignez-vous à notre communauté passionnée qui explore chaque facette du contrôle de gestion et du business partner.N'oubliez pas que la finance, c'est aussi une question de mindset !N'hésitez pas à partager vos interrogations sur nos discussions ou sur le podcast.

Story of the Week (DR):L3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conduct MML3Harris Technologies, the company that overhauled a Qatari plane now used as Air Force One, has replaced Christopher Kubasik as chairman and chief executive after an investigation determined he violated the defense contractor's code of conduct.Kubasik's alleged conduct didn't involve and has no impact on the Melbourne, Fla., company's financial reporting, controls, customer relationships or operational performance, L3Harris said Monday.The company didn't give details on when it received a report of the potential violation. With the aid of independent counsel, the board determined that Kubasik's removal would be in the company's best interest, L3Harris said. He will be allowed to retain and exercise some previously vested stock options but won't receive severance payments, benefits or accelerated stock-based awards.L3Harris Technologies Appoints Sam Mehta, Proven Aerospace and Defense Executive, as President and Chief Executive Officer“The Board determined that the Executive engaged in conduct that was not consistent with the values of the Company as outlined in its Code of Conduct.”Kubasik will still hold onto some of his options that can net him stock worth about $23 million, as well as more than 200,000 shares of stock in L3Harris that he already owns, valued at nearly $57 million. L3Harris has paid Kubasik compensation valued at $66.3 million during the past three years, including $25.6 million in fiscal 2025.The separation disclosure says the L3Harris board decided to reach a deal with Kubasik to get him to leave rather than trying to fire him for cause. Kubasik did not admit to any violation of the company code of conduct, and the deal expressively forbids any of the parties or their representatives from making public statements “inconsistent” with Monday's disclosure.AND THIS:Women at L3Harris Shared Concerns About CEO's Behavior Years Before OusterIt was a warning that was shared among women who worked for Chris Kubasik: Avoid being alone with the executive and be careful on the corporate jet.Multiple women at defense contractor L3Harris Technologies LHX had raised concerns about Kubasik's behavior, including a formal complaint from one woman to human resources that was made around 2023, according to people familiar with the matter. The employee accused the CEO of sexual harassment, the people said.Kubasik stayed on in his role. The woman left L3Harris. Not all L3Harris board members were briefed on the 2023 complaint and it is unclearOusted L3Harris CEO was previously forced out of Lockheed Martin jobChristopher Kubasik's ouster as the L3Harris CEO was not the first time he was forced out of a company amid an allegation of misconduct.In 2012, Kubasik was set to become the CEO of Lockheed Martin when he was forced to resign after an ethics investigation confirmed that he had a close personal relationship with a subordinate employee.Why Do Boards Keep Giving Misbehaving CEOs Second Chances?L3Harris Technologies' LHX chief executive is out because of misconduct allegations, and it isn't the first time: More than a decade ago, Christopher Kubasik resigned from Lockheed Martin because he was accused of having a relationship with a subordinate.The Crucial Moment That Companies Miss After They Oust a CEOIt matters how a company responds to a scandal once it's caught in one, most blow the moment by choosing secrecy over transparency. It's an opportunity to reset the culture that led to the breach in the first place, but instead “your PR team and your legal team tell you ‘Don't dig into these things—it's not good for the company,' so you silence all the debates.”.Meta faces a $1.4 trillion threat that could mean ‘turning in the keys and walking away'—but the stakes of the case reach across techThe trial involves a coalition of 29 state attorneys general in a unified case against Meta that was brought in 2023, and will be argued by lawyers representing California, Colorado, New Jersey and Kentucky. The stakes are enormous as leading government officials across the country push for Meta to be held accountable for allegedly violating federal and state laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, and various consumer protection statutes.States accuse Meta of targeting children for Facebook, Instagram addiction: 'The young ones are the best ones'Meta whistleblower told jury the company took a 'don't ask, don't tell' approach to kids' safety‘Harvest their data and hide the truth from the public': Four states seek billions from Meta over child safety practicesSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to stop responding to no-action requests “entirely … effective immediately,” the agency said in a statement Friday.The decision comes after the SEC sat out the bulk of the no-action process during the 2025-26 proxy season. Investor advocates have since sued the agency, alleging the change violates the Administrative Procedure Act.AI data center outrage is showing up everywhere from ads to electionsAI data center outrage is showing up everywhere from ads to electionsGOP Begs AI Firms to Fix Data Centers' “Toxic Brand” to Help Midterm Chances As A.I.

Andreessen Horowitz co-founder Ben Horowitz serves on the board of Databricks, and partner Martin Casado is a board member of Fivetran. Both companies help businesses collect, organize and analyze massive troves of data.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):MacKenzie Scott gave California public education $461 million—and let the recipients decide how to spend every dollarMM: Andreessen Horowitz Focus of DOJ Probe Over Board Directors DRAssholiest of the Week (MM):Bill Brown and Robert Millard DRNever accountable for anything directorsL3Harris ousts CEO after investigation into conductHistory lesson:Kubasik hired in 2015 after Lockheed disaster firing, hired as COO and PresidentPresiding CEO: Michael Strianese, Chair from 2008, CEO from 2006Board: Claude Canizares (71, MIT physics professor, 2003)Thomas Corcoran (72, Carlyle, consulting, 1997)Ann Dunwoody (64, only woman, US Army Gen, 2013)Lewis Kramer (69, EY accountant, 2009)Robert Millard (66, MIT Chair, Lehman until 2008 collapse, LID, 1997)Lloyd Newton (74, only PoC - token black guy - US Air Force General, 2012)Vincent Pagano, Jr (66, lawyer, Simpson Thacher, chair of nom, 2013)Hugh Shelton (75, US Army Gen, 2011), Arthure Simon (85, accountant, 2001)8 white men, 1 woman, 1 black dude2018, Kubasik named CEO of L3 TechnologiesMichael Strianese retires and Kubasik takes overSame exact board minus Strianese2019, L3 and Harris merge to be L3HarrisKubasik added to L3Harris board, named COO and President of the company under Bill Brown, CEO and ChairSurviving the board merger:Thomas CorcoranRobert Millard - LID, nom memberLloyd Newton - chair of nomLewis KramerAdjacent - Roger Fradin of Carlyle on board, Corcoran also of CarlyleJune 2021, Kubasik becomes CEO and Bill Brown moves to exec chair (obviously)Board:Sallie BaileyBill BrownPeter ChiarelliThomas CorcoranThomas Dattilo (nom) - ex tire CEORober GradinHarry HarrisLewis Hay III (nom) - lawyer, ex CEo of NextEraLewis KramerRita LanRobert Millard (nom) - MIT Chair, LehmanLloyd Newton (nom chair) - generalSo given that the CEOs choose their successors, the nom committees approve them, the rest of the board rubber stamps it… we can thank:Michael Strianese - hires Kubasik, names him CEO at L3, despite Lockheed problemsNom approval: Ann Dunwoody (64, only woman, US Army Gen, 2013), Vincent Pagano, Jr (66, lawyer, Simpson Thacher, chair of nom, 2013), Hugh Shelton (75, US Army Gen, 2011) - a nom committee composed of the ONLY woman, two generals and a lawyer - all of whom are the LOWEST TENURED ON THE BOARD at the timeThen Bill Brown - names Kubasik CEO of combined L3Harris, one year of babysitting as exec chairNom approval: Thomas Dattilo (nom) - ex tire CEO, Robert Millard (nom) - MIT Chair, Lehman, Lloyd Newton (nom chair) - generalFamiliar names: Millard and Newton - see Kubasik all the way throughAnd the CEOs and directors can keep failing… Bill Brown on the Becton Dickinson boardRobert Millard on the Green Dot Corp (nom!), iHeartMedia, Evercore (nom!) boardsBrought on to iHeart board just 3 years after an exec there went on a racial slur rant, the company was sued for gender and wage discrimination, and a radio host of the companies were accused of severe harassment - not sure what will change?Dario Amodei“Public benefit corporation” Anthropic: Anthropic Prepares Supervoting Power for Founders as it Readies for Mega-IPOBoard: Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei (President, Dario's sister), Yasmin Razavi (VC, crypto and prediction market investor), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Chris Liddell (ex Trump WH Deputy Secretary), and Vas Narasimhan (Novartis) - zero “public benefit” (or even public safety) peoplePublic Benefit Corporation: “A benefit corporation's directors and officers operate the business with the same authority and behavior as in a traditional corporation, but are required to consider the impact of their decisions not only on shareholders but also on employees, customers, the community, and the local and global environment”What is the impact of supervoting shares? AI on society? AI on the environment? Who on this board is even remotely qualified to answer those questions?Paul AtkinsExhausting and perpetual gaslightingSEC says it will stop responding to no-action requests ‘entirely'In order to focus Division resources on the review of Securities Act and Exchange Act filings, including those reviews that are statutorily required, for the protection of investors and facilitation of capital formation, and in light of the extensive body of guidance from the Commission and the staff available to both companies and proponents on Rule 14a-8, the Division has determined to discontinue responding to Rule 14a-8 no-action requests entirely, including those submitted under Rule 14a-8(i)(1),[2] effective immediately, unless and until the Division announces otherwise. It also will no longer respond to notices filed under Rule 14a-8(j) with a letter indicating that it will not object if a company omits a proposal from its proxy materials.From the 1934 House Report about the importance of Rule 14a-8: “Fair corporate suffrage is an important right that should attach to every equity security bought on a public exchange.”“Managements of properties owned by the investing public should not be permitted to perpetuate themselves by the misuse of corporate proxies. Insiders having little or no substantial interest in the properties they manage have often retained their control without an adequate disclosure of their interest and without an adequate explanation of the management policies they intend to pursue. Insiders have at times solicited proxies without fairly informing the stockholders of the purposes for which the proxies are to be used and have used such proxies to take from the stockholders for their own selfish advantage valuable property rights. Inasmuch as only the exchanges make it possible for securities to be widely distributed among the investing public, it follows as a corollary that the use of the exchanges should involve a corresponding duty of according to shareholders fair suffrage. For this reason the proposed bill gives the . . . Commission power to control the conditions under which proxies may be solicited with a view to preventing the recurrence of abuses which have frustrated the free exercise of the voting rights of stockholders.Investors Slam SEC Plan to Remove Best-Price RuleAtkins also is listening to the crypto bros who want to offer “tokenized securities” off exchanges and is hoping to eliminate a really basic rule that says “investors are entitled to the best price available for stocks they buy”Separately, DOJ Withdraws Antitrust Guidance for Proxy Advisory Industry - no antitrust protections for ISS (good!) but still can't do anything about the socialist NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA (bad!)Headliniest of the WeekDR: Popular breakfast chain closes half its restaurantsDR: The man leading Trump's RTO charge for government workers says he filmed a video in front of a blank wall to avoid work-from-home suspicionOffice of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor, the key driver of President Donald Trump's return-to-office agenda, admitted in a hot mic moment that he intentionally filmed a video in front of a blank wall while he was working from home so he wouldn't get blowback over working at home.“I was in my bedroom, but I was trying to find—because I knew someone was going to give me shit if like, they knew, ‘You were out of the office.' …I was trying to find something that was not recognizable as being in my house, basically. So I was just trying to find a plain corner with a white wall, which was not that easy to find.”Kupor was the first employee hired by Andreessen and Horowitz's venture capital firm, Andreessen Horowitz.MM: Flock Says It's “Taking a Break” From Responding to Media RequestsMM: Eric Schmidt is selling his superyachtWho is this headline for?

Vergeet de beursgang van SpaceX: die van Anthropic wordt nog veel groter. Het bedrijf groeide van amper een miljard dollar omzet eind 2024 naar makkelijk 50 miljard dollar in de eerste helft van dit jaar. En in 2028? Dan staat er 200 miljard dollar op de borden, zegt het bedrijf. Is dit net zulke science fiction als SpaceX in zijn prospectus zette? En hoe gevoelig is dit bedrijf eigenlijk voor concurrentie? Dat bespreken we in deze aflevering. Verder houden we bij BNR Beurs wel van een mooie comeback. BlackBerry is niet langer het telefoonbedrijf dat op sterven na dood was na de introductie van de iPhone. Het is een infrastructuurspeler geworden, met technologie die gebruikt wordt door robots, medische spelers en defensiebedrijven. En daarom werd het bedrijf het afgelopen jaar 2.5 keer zoveel waard. Boem! We bespreken hoe ze dat voor elkaar kregen. Natuurlijk moeten we ook nog even gluren bij de buren, nu het nog kan. Jane Street wil zijn eigen schuldpapier minder publiek maken, maar tot die tijd kunnen we meekijken hoe het bedrijf met de grootste handelswinsten op Wall Street eigenlijk zijn geld verdient. En wat blijkt? Het verloor tientallen miljarden aan Leopold Aschenbrenner, de jonge knaap en wonderbelegger wiens fonds vorige maand opbrandde in de atmosfeer. Tot slot die halfjaarcijfers van Ebusco. Als het niet lukt om een nieuwe kredietfaciliteit af te sluiten, en een grote aandeelhouder niet bijstort, denkt het bedrijf dat er materiële uitdagingen ontstaan om zijn verplichtingen na te komen. Lees: dan is het einde verhaal.Te gast: Niels Koerts van Stockwatch.nl en de podcast het Beurscafé.BNR Beurs is een journalistiek onafhankelijke productie, mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo. Over de makers: Jelle Maasbach is presentator van BNR Beurs en freelance financieel journalist. Zijn favoriete aandeel om over te praten is Disney, maar daar lijkt hij de enige in te zijn.

Maxim van Mil is presentator van BNR Beurs en journalist bij BNR, waar hij zich focust op de financiële markten en ontwikkelingen in de tech-wereld. Je krijgt hem het meest enthousiast als hij kan praten over ASML, of oer-Hollandse bedrijven zoals Ahold of ABN Amro. Jorik Simonides is presentator van BNR Beurs, economieredacteur en verslaggever bij BNR. Hij wordt er vooral blij van als het een keer níet over AI gaat. Je hoort hem ook in de BNR-podcast Moerdijk: dorp van de rekening. Milou Brand is presentator van BNR Beurs, freelance podcastmaker en columnist bij het Financieele Dagblad. Jochem Visser is presentator van BNR Beurs, maakt Beursnerd XL en is redacteur bij de podcast Onder Curatoren. Vraag hem naar obscure zaken op financiële markten en hij vertelt je waarom het eigenlijk nóg leuker is dan je al dacht. Over de podcast: Met BNR Beurs ga je altijd voorbereid de nieuwe beursdag in. We praten je in een kleine 25 minuten bij over alle laatste ontwikkelingen op de handelsvloer. We blijven niet alleen bij de AEX of Wall Street, maar vertellen je ook waar nog meer kansen liggen. En we houden het niet bij de cijfers, maar zoeken ook iedere dag voor je naar duiding van scherpe gasten en experts. Of je nu een ervaren belegger bent of net begint met je eerste stappen op de beurs, de podcast biedt waardevolle inzichten voor je beleggingsstrategie. Door de focus op zowel de korte termijn als de lange termijn, helpt BNR Beurs luisteraars om de ruis van de markt te scheiden van de essentie.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Als het niet lukt om een nieuwe kredietfaciliteit af te sluiten, en een grote aandeelhouder niet bijstort, denkt het bedrijf dat er materiële uitdagingen ontstaan om zijn verplichtingen na te komen.

What does it take to build a reputation that lasts?In a world where AI can generate endless content and everyone is competing for attention, it's easy to assume that being more visible is the answer. But as this week's guest explains, visibility without credibility rarely lasts.This week Sophie is joined by Evan Boyer, founder and CEO of Leaders PR. After nearly 15 years advising global brands including JPMorgan Chase, EY, LG, Lowe's, Panasonic, Red Hat and Volvo Trucks, Evan has built a career helping businesses earn trust, not just attention.Together they explore why expertise and credibility are built separately, why earned media has never been more valuable and what founders often misunderstand about building a reputation that stands the test of time.In this episode, we cover:Why expertise alone doesn't automatically create credibilityThe difference between earning attention and buying visibilityWhy AI is making trusted voices even more valuableWhat successful PR looks like behind the scenesHow relationships, consistency and patience shape long term reputationConnect with EvanLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evanboyer/Leaders PR LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/leaderspr/Leaders PR Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Leaders-PR/Leaders PR Instagram: @leaders_prWebsite: www.leaderspr.comConnect with SophieLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sophie-millikenInstagram: @moja_sophieWant to be a guest on Beyond the Bio?Do you have interesting ideas to share about how to raise your profile?

Må vi egentlig ha bankene i fremtiden?I denne episoden møter Tarjei Alvær Heggernes finans- og teknologiavslører Lasse Meholm til en samtale om hvordan banksektoren forandrer seg. Meholm har en omfattende bakgrunn fra blant annet PwC, DNB, Nordea, EY og Norges Bank, hvor han jobbet med prosjektet for digitale sentralbankpenger. Sammen utfordrer de premisset fra Meholms kapittel «Trenger vi bankene?», og ser på hvorfor endringene har tatt lengre tid enn antatt – samt hva som ligger rett rundt hjørnet.Sentrale temaer i episodenHvorfor trenger vi bankfunksjoner, men kanskje ikke «banker»?Diskusjon rundt Bill Gates' uttalelse om at vi trenger banktjenester (innskudd, lån og betalinger), men ikke nødvendigvis tradisjonelle banker. Meholm forklarer hvorfor Open Banking og Big Tech-trusler har tatt lengre tid i Skandinavia, men hvordan aktører som Klarna likevel utfordrer verdikjeden.Forskjellen på kontopenger, krypto og Digitale Sentralbankpenger (DSP):En pedagogisk gjennomgang av hvordan dagens pengesystem fungerer sammenlignet med krypto, stablecoins og sentralbankenes egne digitale valutaer. Meholm deler erfaringer fra testingen i Norges Bank, der grensekryssende betalinger ble gjennomført på under to sekunder.Strategiske blindsoner i styrerommet:Hvorfor alderssammensetning og manglende teknologikompetanse i bankstyrer kan skape risikofaktorer i møte med teknologidrevne utfordrere. Meholm understreker viktigheten av lekenhet, utprøving og sterk teknologirepresentasjon på ledelsesnivå.Den største trusselen nå: Tokenisering og DeFi:En advarsel om hvordan nye initiativ innen stablecoins og desentralisert finans (DeFi) skaper et parallelt lån- og innskuddsmarked helt utenom det etablerte bankvesenet.Denne episoden ble spilt inn i forbindelse med BI-kurset Digital transformasjon i finansnæringen. Samtalen er åpent publisert etter avtale med samtalepartner, BI Norwegian Business School, og samarbeidspartnerne Finansforbundet, SpareBank 1 og Finans Norge.Omtalen av episoden er generert av Gemini.

En novembre 2025, Anne-Claire Chauvin a posé la question directement à une deux centaine de professionnels de la finance réunis à Financium : où en êtes-vous avec l'IA ? Les réponses sont sans appel. 10 % n'ont pas encore touché à ces outils. 65 % en sont à l'exploration individuelle rédiger des mails, produire des présentations. 20 % commencent à tester un premier cas d'usage collectif. En résumé, 95 % des équipes finance se trouvent encore dans une phase de tâtonnement ou de questionnement.Ce chiffre prend tout son sens quand on le met en regard des données publiées par OpenAI en 2024 : 60 % des équipes marketing utilisent l'IA au quotidien, contre 7 % en finance. L'écart n'est pas anecdotique. Il dit quelque chose de structurel sur la manière dont la finance s'est positionnée face à cette transformation.Dans cet extrait, Anne-Claire Chauvin démonte les vraies raisons de ce retard. Les LLM ont d'abord été présentés comme des outils de rédaction et de synthèse des cas d'usage évidents pour le marketing, moins pour un contrôleur de gestion qui produit des analyses chiffrées. Les premiers modèles étaient par ailleurs peu fiables en mathématiques, ce qui a légitimement refroidi des équipes dont le métier repose sur la rigueur des données. À cela s'ajoute le manque de temps structuré pour expérimenter : là où d'autres fonctions ont pu mettre des ressources sur le sujet, les équipes finance ont continué à avancer à flux tendu.La question de la confidentialité des données revient régulièrement dans les discussions. Jonathan Plateau pointe un paradoxe que beaucoup de DAFs reconnaîtront : les données sont déjà hébergées sur Azure ou AWS, dans des environnements partagés avec des prestataires externes. Traiter l'IA comme un risque supplémentaire alors que l'infrastructure cloud est déjà en place, c'est un raisonnement qui mérite d'être challengé.Dernier frein identifié : l'absence de formation au prompting. Utiliser un LLM comme un moteur de recherche produit des résultats décevants, ce qui renforce l'impression que l'outil ne convient pas à la finance. La réalité est différente : ces modèles fonctionnent bien quand on leur donne du contexte, des exemples et des instructions précises. Pour un DAF ou un contrôleur de gestion qui cherche à comprendre pourquoi son équipe n'a pas avancé sur le sujet, cet extrait fournit un diagnostic clair et des points d'appui concrets pour ouvrir la conversation en interne.Je m'appelle Jonathan Plateau. Je suis passé par EY, Valeo et Safran et j'essaye d'engager des échanges et des réflexions sur nos métiers de la finance.Ma mission : vous offrir une expérience éducative, divertissante et parfois surprenante.Ce podcast est fait pour les directeurs financiers (DAF, CFO), les contrôleurs de gestion, qu'ils soient juniors ou confirmés, et qui souhaitent profiter des échanges entre pairs pour enrichir leur pratique de la finance au quotidien et tendre vers le business partner.Joignez-vous à notre communauté passionnée qui explore chaque facette du contrôle de gestion et du business partner.N'oubliez pas que la finance, c'est aussi une question de mindset !N'hésitez pas à partager vos interrogations sur nos discussions ou sur le podcast.

It's been a busy week for tech giant Meta. Its new glasses have sparked controversy over privacy concerns, while founder Mark Zuckerberg published his AI manifesto, and the company indicated that it might be willing to pay local communities to host data centres in their areas. Irish Times tech expert Ciara O'Brien explains why the glasses have caused such a stir and how Zuckerberg's approach to AI differs.In part two: Ireland's corporation tax receipts are bulging, helped by the increase in the rate of tax paid by large companies as a result of recent changes agreed under the auspices of the OECD. The government recently published exchequer returns for the first seven months of the year, giving an insight into the extra corporation tax that is likely to flow our way. It's a helpful backdrop for the government in the run-up to October's budget. Eoin Burke-Kennedy looks at the numbers and what they mean. He also looks at what might happen to Ireland's public finances if an Apple, Microsoft, or Eli Lilly were to pull out.Brought to you in association with EY. Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of the Woodard Report podcast, Joe and Dawn Brolin talk about the accelerating impact of AI on the accounting profession, from secure, specialized AI tools to the emerging potential of quantum computing. They explore why accounting professionals need to move beyond fear and begin experimenting with AI now, sharing practical examples of using tools like Claude and Tax Figure to analyze financial data, strengthen advisory services, and work more efficiently. Current events — EY installed a quantum computer in their Toronto office TV/Movie quote of the week — The Greatest Showman House of the Dragon Excellent Thing We Learned — There are a series of tags you can use that will change the way most GPTs will respond to you. Examples are: TRUTHMODE – forces direct, unvarnished feedback instead of the AI just agreeing with you HUMAN – strips the "AI voice," makes writing sound like a person wrote it HORMOZI – answers like a blunt, ROI focused business coach (style associated with Alex Hormozi) REDTEAM – argues against your idea to stress test it before you commit FUTUREYOU – answers as if it's the version of you who already solved this problem ELI10 – explains it like you're 10 years old, no jargon UNLEARN – flags outdated assumptions or bad advice you're carrying around 80/20 – skips straight to the highest leverage move, ignores the rest SOCRATES – teaches by asking you questions instead of handing you the answer LINDYMODE – sticks to long proven approaches, filters out hype and fads The Woodard Report article of the week — Accounting Pros Now Have a Voice at the AI Table Thank you to our show sponsor, Rightworks!

Weekend di pausa sia per la MXGP che per il motocross USA. Indi per cui abbiamo deciso, io e Saverio, i vostri amici della direttona del lunedì sera, di lasciare spazio a voi e riempirci di domande che troveranno risposta proprio nella live di questa sera. Vi aspettiamo quindi, come sempre, anche per farcele direttamente all'interno della trasmissione attraverso la sezione commenti. Quindi preparate le domande e non fate i timidi! In realtà, però, non è che quello appena passato sia stato proprio un weekend a motori totalmente spenti. A Mol è andata in scena la grande classica che ha visto in pista tutti i migliori nomi del campionato MXGP e MX2, con un Herlings straordinario e un Sacha Coenen che sembra finalmente essere tornato quello di qualche settimana fa, grazie alla vittoria in MX2. E sì, anche Tony è sceso in pista: il nostro Cairoli ha corso proprio con la Desmo250 MX. È poi calato il sipario sul Mondiale EnduroGP, con tre titoli assegnati proprio durante l'ultima giornata. E, come spesso accade quando si parla di enduro, c'è tantissima Italia. Andrea Verona conquista il nono titolo mondiale in carriera, battendo nella classe E2 Zach Pichon per appena sei secondi. Nella E3, invece, la battaglia tra i due mastini Brad Freeman e Steve Holcombe dà ragione a quest'ultimo, che si mette in saccoccia il decimo titolo mondiale. E tra i giovanissimi c'è ancora tanta Italia: Alberto Elgari conquista il titolo EJ, mentre Manuel Scardina si laurea campione EY. Entrambi in sella alle TM del team di Jarno Boano, che avrà sicuramente di che gioire. Insomma, di cose da raccontare ce ne sono parecchie anche in un weekend di pausa. Vi aspettiamo questa sera alle 20:30, come ogni lunedì. E mi raccomando: domande alla mano!Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/dopogp-motogp-moto-it--4070022/support.

Recorded live at World Workplace Europe, Dr. Matt Tucker sits down with Jessica Schmidt, Future of Work Strategy Lead at EY, to discuss how leaders can prepare their workforce for the future of work.

Danke! Danke für grandiose Wegbegleitung auf nunmehr acht irren Jahren besten Wrestling Podcast. Der Schwitzkasten hatte Geburtstag und so feiern wir diesen mit einem fünfstündigen Q&A-Fest. Eure Fragen waren wie immer gold. Legt euch rein und genießt dieses Ding... Es ging um die Natur des Menschen, um Freundschaft, Eifersucht, Algorithmen, KI, Fremdbestimmung, prägende Momente und natürlich um das "neoliberale-techoligarchische-turbokapitalistische-faschistische-regierungsautokratische und einfach schlimmen Dreckstreiben dieser Welt"... Auch ging es um Wrestling-Sextoys, Wrestler*innen als Dinosaurier, Wrestler*innen im Urlaub, neue Intros, Fantasy Booking, Intergender Matches, Superkräfte für Wrestler und natürlich um Pflanzen, die gut einen Canadian Destroyer austeilen können... Ey, das war eine bunte, unterhaltsame, tiefschürfende, dumme, erkenntnisreiche, emotionale Reise, auf die ihr uns hier geschickt habt. Ohne euch wäre der Schwitzkasten nicht der Schwitzkasten. Küsschen deluxe. Wir freuen uns wie immer mega über Kommentare und Feedback auf Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Twitter & Facebook. Unterstützt den SCHWITZKASTEN gern auch auf Patreon dabei, der beste deutsche Wrestling Podcast zu sein.

Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman break down a chaotic week that included Jensen Huang's debut on X in defense of open models, a new enterprise agentic reference blueprint from EY, NVIDIA, and LangChain, and a 24-hour market whiplash triggered by a hedge fund's forced liquidation into Citadel. The hosts also cover a stacked earnings week from Microsoft, Meta, Qualcomm, Arm, Apple, and Amazon, plus IonQ's move into vertical integration with its SkyWater acquisition. The handpicked topics for this week are: Jensen Huang Joins X and Defends Open Models: Jensen Huang's debut post on X drew a fast-growing following while promoting open models and unveiling the Open Secure AI Alliance alongside Satya Nadella. The same week, more than a thousand frontier lab employees signed a letter urging a slower pace, with Anthropic notably absent from both the alliance and the caution letter. (The Decode) China's Distillation Debate Resurfaces Alongside the Open Model Push: Patrick argued that distillation is not theft and should be treated as fair competitive practice, contrasting it with copyright cases where creators are compensated directly. Daniel noted that Kimi K2's training run relied on a large NVIDIA cluster, reinforcing that Chinese open models still depend heavily on U.S. hardware. (The Decode) EY, NVIDIA, and LangChain Ship an Agentic Deployment Blueprint: A new reference architecture from EY, NVIDIA, and LangChain gives enterprises a template for moving agentic workloads from pilot to production. Patrick called it evidence that enterprise AI adoption remains in its early stages, with integration sitting around five percent of total workflow potential. (The Decode) Memory Pricing Becomes the New Infrastructure Tax: Memory is emerging as one of the biggest cost pressures in AI infrastructure. Meta has pointed to rising memory costs in its capital spending outlook, while Apple CEO Tim Cook has warned that higher memory costs are expected to persist as supply remains constrained. Patrick argued that memory vendors are finally capturing the value of a component that has shifted from commodity to strategic asset, while noting that Chinese memory manufacturer CXMT remains an important geopolitical wildcard that could reshape the competitive landscape. (The Decode)  IonQ Buys Its Way Into Vertical Integration: IonQ closed a $1.8 billion acquisition of SkyWater Technology, making it the only quantum computing company in the United States to own its own chip foundry. Daniel compared the move to how hyperscalers are rewarded for owning their full stack, positioning IonQ as a potential anchor point for other quantum companies needing foundry capacity. (The Decode) The Flip: Is the Hyperscaler Capex Debate Over? Pat and Dan take opposite sides to pressure test whether or not Wall Street will keep funding unlimited AI infrastructure spending as long as revenue growth keeps accelerating. Daniel argued backlog and margin growth at Microsoft, Amazon, and Google justify the spending. Patrick countered that conversion, not just revenue, is what the market is actually pricing. (The Flip) AI Trade Rocked by Forced Deleveraging: The forced liquidation of leveraged hedge fund Situational Awareness into Citadel sparked a violent market reversal that erased itself within 24 hours, with SanDisk, Micron, and Microsoft all posting double-digit rebounds. Patrick and Daniel walked through how SK hynix's earnings miss helped trigger a broader deleveraging event that briefly rattled confidence in the AI trade. (Bulls & Bears) Microsoft Delivers a Standout Quarter: Microsoft beat across Intelligent Cloud and Azure, with CFO Amy Hood committing to positive free cash flow by 2027 and Copilot usage now rivaling Outlook and Teams in weekly engagement. Patrick and Daniel called it one of the strongest quarters the company has posted this cycle after a year of being punished in the market. (Bulls & Bears) Meta's Guide Overshadows Its Revenue Growth: Meta grew revenue 27% year over year. A narrowed capex guide tied to rising component costs and deepening Reality Labs losses drove the stock down. (Bulls & Bears) Qualcomm Leans on Diversification as Handsets Slow: Qualcomm's results were mixed, with declining handset revenue offset by growth in automotive and an emerging data center business expected to contribute meaningful revenue within a few quarters. Daniel Newman noted the company is on pace for more than half its revenue to come from outside handsets by next year. (Bulls & Bears) Arm Turns IP Licensing Into Silicon Revenue: Arm beat across revenue and guidance, then sold off on its outlook. The company disclosed a pipeline of more than $2 billion in demand for its new AI data center chips from customers including Oracle and Meta. (Bulls & Bears) Apple Returns to the Top of the Market: Strong iPhone and Mac sales helped Apple deliver a revenue beat and briefly overtake NVIDIA as the world's most valuable company by market capitalization, aided by a broader rotation out of AI and semiconductor stocks.

In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow is joined by Oren Niskin and Reynaldo Gonzalez for an engaging discussion on the evolving role of penetration testing in operational technology (OT) environments. Drawing from years of experience in industrial operations, IT, and OT cybersecurity, Oren and Reynaldo explain why successful OT security assessments require far more than technical expertise. They explore how trust, communication, and collaboration help bridge the gap between security teams and operations, making penetration testing a valuable business tool rather than something to fear. The conversation also highlights the importance of diverse career paths, hands-on learning, and mentoring the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. From network segmentation and risk communication to creating realistic lab environments, this episode offers practical lessons for anyone responsible for securing critical infrastructure. Key Learnings:  Why trust is essential for successful OT penetration testing How IT and operational experience strengthen OT security teams The value of network segmentation in reducing cyber risk Why "doing nothing" is no longer an acceptable cybersecurity strategy How organizations can bridge the gap between safety, operations, and security Practical ways to develop the next generation of OT cybersecurity professionals Key Moments:  07:00 Oren's technology and security approach 15:04 Discussing network security measures 19:16 Building Trust in Business Relationships 26:17 Understanding and planning security architecture 30:16 Network management and rule assessment 33:39 Managing and Assessing Tool Overload 38:39 Analyzing tool overlap and complementarity 48:41 Building a trusting team culture 49:48 Encouraging Open Communication 56:34 Getting into cybersecurity without IT experience 01:04:56 Entry-level ICS training courses Whether you're an OT engineer, penetration tester, security leader, or just beginning your cybersecurity journey, this episode delivers practical insights into protecting industrial environments while building stronger relationships across teams.

A.M. Edition for July 31. Earnings from AI hyperscalers this week showed rising demand for their cloud services, with Amazon's CEO forecasting corporate AI use was still in its ‘early stages.' But as EY's Dan Diasio tells us, rising token costs are leading many businesses to question their broader AI approach. Plus, the U.S. says Hamas has agreed to a broad plan to disarm in exchange for an eventual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. And WSJ reporter Margherita Stancati describes how the arrival of thousands of migrants into the Spanish territory of Ceuta from neighboring Morocco is piling political pressure on the center-left government in Madrid.

Your cloud ERP holds the keys to your entire business: finance, HR, supply chain. But who actually controls the locks? This episode exposes the identity access gaps most organizations never see coming, and why AI is making them more dangerous than ever.=====Identity and access management (IAM) is often misunderstood. But getting it wrong can cost millions. EY's Joe Surmeier breaks down IAM in cloud ERP: from the most common mistakes organizations make during migration, to navigating the shared responsibility model between vendors, SIs, and customers. The conversation also explores how AI is reshaping both threats and defenses, and shares three actionable priorities for any organization starting its cloud ERP journey, and why cybersecurity must have a seat at the table from day one.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download Episode Transcript⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Useful Links: ⁠⁠SAP Cloud ERP⁠⁠Follow Us on Social Media!SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠=====Guest 1: Joe Surmeier, Senior Manager, Cybersecurity at Ernst & Young LLPJoe Surmeier has spent more than a decade at the intersection of cybersecurity, business transformation, and risk management.

Monica Marquez helps leaders turn AI ambition into adoption by building the trust, capability, and new ways of working that make transformation real.AI changed the size of the gap, not the shape of the problem. Adoption stalls in trust, capability, and ways of working, not in the technology itself. The leaders she works with are not behind because they lack talent. They are behind because no one has handed them a system for turning their own judgment into something AI can amplify. Every leader already has a version of authentic intelligence. Her work is helping them codify it, so the artificial kind has something worth amplifying.Monica spent twenty five years inside Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, EY, and Google, building the leadership development and professional growth systems that helped established professionals advance, stay relevant, and grow as the ground shifted under them. Talent, leadership, and transformation at scale, inside organizations that do not have room for guesswork.In 2019 she left corporate to co-found Beyond Barriers with Nikki Barua, building on Nikki's bestselling book to create an AI powered professional development platform that accelerated success for women and all leaders. Today she is co-founder and Chief Product Officer of FlipWork.

Moving beyond practice group silos and towards a one firm, one solution approach starting with what the client genuinely needs has never been more relevant for global firms. On today's episode of the CMO Series Podcast, Will Eke is joined by Tamasin Manwaring, Global Director of Product Business Development at Linklaters, about what it takes to build a client first product strategy at global scale. Drawing on a career that spans EY, Freshfields and more than a decade leading global disputes BD at Hogan Lovells, she shares how Linklaters is putting product BD into practice. Tamasin talks about her journey into product BD, what makes it distinctly different from traditional practice group BD, and how she's bringing partners along on a more collaborative, client first approach. Tamasin and Will dive into: Her career journey and when product BD became a central focus What makes product BD different, and why firms are shifting towards it now How to map a product against real client needs Bringing partners aboard a collaborative, client first approach Building a one firm, one solution culture across 30 offices The key barriers to cross-selling and holding a team accountable Her one piece of advice for BD leaders going product led

In this episode of HFS Unfiltered Stories, Divya Iyer, Practice Leader at HFS Research, is joined by Tom Scazzafavo, Global Financial Crime Managed Services Leader, EY, for a candid look at why financial crime compliance keeps failing to deliver, and how AI is changing the equation. The conversation follows EY's recognition as a Horizon 3 Market Leader in the HFS Horizons Financial Crime Compliance Services 2026 report. Tom's diagnosis is pointed: institutions have poured money into compliance for over a decade, yet enforcement actions haven't fallen, because the investment was incremental rather than transformational. Firms layered new tech on fragmented processes, legacy systems, and inconsistent data, so spending rose while the operating model never changed. He traces it to three root causes: data trapped in silos, inefficient manual processes, and incentives that reward throughput over real risk reduction. Tom is clear-eyed about AI's reality, too, separating where it genuinely works today (alert reduction, entity resolution, and network analytics, and generative AI that speeds investigations) from where ambition outruns reality (fully autonomous decisioning and scaling across jurisdictions). His verdict: AI is powerful, but it's no silver bullet, and humans stay in the loop for a while yet. He shares EY's “AI trust and governance” approach, treating each agent like a customer in a KYC process, and closes with a sharp look ahead: criminals adopting AI as fast as institutions through synthetic identities and deepfakes, the rise of real-time payments and digital assets, and widening cross-border regulatory divergence. The through-line: financial crime is becoming faster and more networked, and the winners will be those who move to real-time, intelligence-led compliance.Learn more about the 2026 HFS Horizons: Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) in Financial Services - covering 15 providers: https://www.hfsresearch.com/research/hfs-horizons-financial-crime-compliance-fcc-in-financial-services-2026/

Bronte Campbell won three Olympic gold medals in the pool. Now she's taking on a $600 billion industry with a rule she swam by: raise the bar, then raise it again.After four Olympics and a stint in corporate strategy at EY, Bronte co-founded Earthletica, a B Corp making high-performance activewear from recycled and organic fibres with none of the forever chemicals the industry runs on. She launched the world-first Bronte Jacket weeks before racing at Paris 2024, and she's building the whole business on the idea that sustainability only works if the product performs first.We get into why she walked away from a cushy corporate setup for the uncertainty of founder life, why "your cleanest sweat yet" beat "better for the earth" as the line that actually sells, and how an athlete's relationship with discipline and recovery shapes the way she runs a company. Bronte's honest about what's still not solved, the pricing maths on sustainable fibres, and the deliberate choice to grow through community and equity crowdfunding rather than take the easy celebrity cheque.In this episode:Why performance has to come before sustainability, and how "your cleanest sweat yet" reframed the whole brand around the customerHow building a sustainable supply chain from scratch beats retrofitting one, and what it took to find manufacturers who'd say yes to tiny order volumesWhat an Olympic athlete's approach to discipline, recovery and two million minutes of work teaches you about building a brandConnect with Bronte Campbell Explore EarthleticaSubscribe to the Add To Cart newsletter  SMS us to Suggest a Guest Connect with Nathan Bush Join the Add To Cart Community 

Swiss finance and innovation hub Zurich held its first Climate Week in May 2026, joining a growing global network of cities hosting climate-focused gatherings. All Things Sustainable is the official podcast of Climate Week Zurich, and in this episode, we bring you highlights, key takeaways and a look ahead to the next big events on the climate calendar.  To learn about Zurich's approach to decarbonization and climate adaptation, we sit down with the city's Director of Environmental and Health Protection, René Estermann.  "We know climate change is a huge risk," René says. "As the major economic driver in Switzerland, Zurich wants to grow its business hubs here for climate technologies, climate science, carbon management ... [and] climate finance ... to turn these risks to opportunities."  To understand how financial institutions are responding to growing calls to make the business case for sustainability, we talk to Sabine Döbeli. Sabine is CEO of Swiss Sustainable Finance, a nonprofit whose members aim to strengthen Switzerland's position as a leading worldwide center for sustainable finance.  "If you invest today to improve your factory, to have less pollution, to use less water, to have a circular process, then that of course means capex, it means investments," Sabine says. "It will pay off in the long term if you have less costs. But to prove this at every point in time is not always easy."  And we talk to Christophe Lumsden, Partner and Sustainability Lead at Ernst & Young AG Switzerland and EY's Global Climate Change and Decarbonization Leader. He says Climate Week Zurich is an example of how climate action continues to develop at a local level even as it faces pushback in parts of the world.   "Science is clear. Evidence is there. Climate change is not going away anytime soon," Christophe says. "Health repercussions are massive, human repercussions are big. So we just need to continue the movement."   S&P Global Energy is a founding partner and sponsor of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich.   Further listening  Hear the podcast interviews referenced in today's episode:  California's biggest utility talks decarbonization, climate adaptation and AI energy demands  CSO Insights: How climate adaptation is hitting the mainstream for Middle East banks  Listen to our interview with Johan Rockström, who spoke at the Climate Week Zurich Opening Ceremony:   What planetary health means for the private sector  Listen to all our interviews from Climate Week Zurich:  How Swiss food giant Nestlé tackles sustainable supply chains  Swiss private bank talks sustainable investment opportunities  How one of the world's largest insurers is building climate resilience  How retail giant IKEA built the business case for sustainability  World Meteorological Organization leader on the need for science, data and collaboration  Learn about Nature and Biodiversity data and solutions from S&P Global Sustainable1.   Copyright ©2026 by S&P Global Disclaimer  By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

Rick Flynn spent three decades building Flynn & Company into one of Cincinnati's most respected CPA firms — then sold it. On this episode of What Gives, Erin Satzger sits down with Rick Flynn, now a partner at UHY, the 26th-largest accounting firm in the country, to unpack the whole arc: caddying at Kenwood Country Club, ten years cutting his teeth at EY, the itch to go out on his own in 1994, and the leadership pivot that turned Flynn & Company from a revolving door into a place people built careers.Rick also gets into his other big bet: Warsaw Federal, the Price Hill savings bank he helped pull out of regulatory trouble and turn into Cincinnati's first Minority Depository Institution — funding the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater along the way.And because Rick was a founding business behind what's now the Northern Cincinnati Foundation, the conversation turns to community, philanthropy, AI's role in accounting and giving, and why more choices — in banking, in CPA firms, in everything — make communities stronger.Topics covered:Growing up in the region and learning the ropes under mentor Bob Foppe at Kenwood Country ClubTen years at EY and the decision to go out on his ownBuilding a firm that keeps people instead of burning them outThe Warsaw Federal turnaround and becoming a Minority Depository InstitutionSelling Flynn & Company to UHY — and why "choice" mattered more than the paycheckAI's impact on accounting, philanthropy, and small businessWhat's in Rick's bug-out bag (it's not what you'd guess)What Gives is a production of the Northern Cincinnati Foundation, telling the stories of the business and civic leaders driving economic development across the region.Hashtags#WhatGivesPodcast #NorthernCincinnatiFoundation #CincinnatiBusiness #Philanthropy #Accounting #CPAFirm #Leadership #SmallBusiness #Cincinnati #CommunityFoundation #MergersAndAcquisitions #PriceHill #WarsawFederal #EconomicDevelopment #WestChesterOH

In modern warfare, speed is the ultimate currency—but can a defense acquisition system built for predictability keep pace with rapid battlefield evolution? In this episode, host Mike Shanley is joined in person by Jay Tamsett, Managing Director of Aerospace and Defense at EY, to explore why today's geopolitical realities demand a return to decentralized decision-making, rapid prototyping, and software-centric parallel tracks. This episode is designed for defense technology founders, aerospace executives, and growth leaders looking to transition from slow-moving RFP cycles to high-utility field deployment. Understanding this structural shift from rigid compliance to real-time execution is critical for any team hoping to bridge the gap between commercial tech and actual warfighter needs. Main Topics Covered — The Speed Imperative in Acquisition — Why time has eclipsed all other variables to become the primary driver of value and battlefield relevance in the modern era. — McNamara vs. Packard — A historical look at how centralized "management by control" created our current bureaucracy, and why we are experiencing a modern "Packard moment" of decentralized accountability. — Lessons from the Ukrainian Frontlines — How real-time adaptation and rapid feedback loops directly from combat zones are challenging traditional, slow-moving testing schedules. — A Plurality in the Defense Industrial Base — Why the legacy acquisition system isn't necessarily "broken" but needs a parallel track for software-centric systems (like drones and AI) next to traditional capital platforms. — Rethinking Systems Engineering — Why the linear planning models used since the 1960s fail to address current threats, and how "orchestration engineering" offers a more composable design alternative. — The "Sensemaker" Role in Business Development — How growth leaders must shift from chasing RFIs on SAM.gov to active market sensing and predicting geopolitical trends. — Drowning in the Knowledge Glut — How executive teams can cut through dashboard complexity to separate overwhelming data noise from actionable, qualitative insights.  — Acquisition Officials vs. Warfighters — The critical importance of building deep relationships with military end-users instead of relying solely on contracting officers bound to bureaucratic rules. Key Takeaways — Structure Dictates Culture — Simply changing leadership or introducing superficial policies won't reform defense acquisition; the underlying structural incentives and systems engineering training must change first. — Embrace Uncertainty as an Input — The most successful modern defense tech companies treat battlefield uncertainty as a design asset to iterate on, rather than an administrative risk to avoid. — Action Beats Analysis — In a world overwhelmed with data, the market increasingly rewards organizations that focus on rapid execution, continuous learning, and prototyping rather than mere compliance. — Connect with the Real End-User — Relying purely on traditional contracting offices misses the strategic mark; growth-oriented companies must learn from the frontline warfighters who actually use the technology.

In this episode of Unspoken Security, AJ Nash and Faith MacGregor tackle the private sector's sloppy relationship with the word "intelligence" — the gap between raw data, contextual information, and verified, actionable intelligence — and how vendors, circular reporting, and fragmented disciplines like "cyber threat intelligence" have eroded that discipline. From there they turn to AI, weighing real utility against real danger: hallucinations that persist even with vetted sources, analysts pulled toward premature conclusions under time pressure, and the EY finding that roughly 40% of AI-generated conclusions had to be recalled. Nash's sharpest line - if a human analyst behaved this way, you'd fire them - sets up a back half that's cautiously optimistic, pointing to Recorded Future's human-curated, AI-assisted model as a template, while widening the lens to AI in government targeting decisions and the quiet brain drain hollowing out the intelligence profession. Send us Fan MailSupport the show
