Across every industry, boards are approving AI budgets. Inside many enterprises, however, the reality is the same. Pilots never scale, tools sit unused, and transformation programmes struggle to justify their investment. In this episode of the Tech Transformed podcast, host Trisha Pillay sits down with Darin Patterson, VP of Product Advocacy and Market Strategy at Make, to find out what separates the organisations genuinely operationalising AI from those still running expensive experiments.AI Adoption GapEnterprise AI investment is accelerating. What is not accelerating at the same pace is business value. Patterson is direct about why he believes that most organisations are measuring the wrong things, assigning ownership to the wrong people, and deploying tools before they have defined the problem."The AI adoption gap is real," Patterson tells Pillay, "and it starts at the top. Leaders are approving investments without a clear framework for what success looks like."For C-suite executives, this is a critical signal. AI adoption is not primarily a technology challenge; it is an organisational one. Strategy, culture, and accountability structures determine if AI initiatives produce compounding returns or accumulate as technical debt.Ownership ModelsOne of the most instructive conversations in this episode concerns who should own AI inside an enterprise. Patterson's position is that ownership must live with the people closest to the business function being transformed."Ownership models are often unclear," he says. "And unclear ownership is where AI initiatives go to die."When AI is owned exclusively by a central IT or data science function, it becomes disconnected from the operational realities of the teams it is meant to serve. When it is owned entirely by individual business units without central governance, you get fragmented tooling, inconsistent data practices, and security exposure. The hybrid model Patterson advocates centralises governance standards, security, and infrastructure while pushing execution authority down to functional leaders. This structure creates accountability at the point of value creation rather than at a remove from it.For C-level executives building or restructuring their AI operating model, the actionable question is: do the leaders of each business unit have both the mandate and the capability to own AI outcomes in their domain?Stop Starting With the ToolA pattern Patterson sees consistently across enterprises is what he calls tool-first thinking. An organisation identifies a capable AI platform, deploys it, and then attempts to work backwards to the business problem it should solve."Focus on your business process first," he advises. "The tool is never the strategy."This is especially relevant for executives evaluating vendor proposals. The quality of an AI platform matters far less than the clarity of the problem definition sitting upstream of it. Organisations that achieve sustainable AI ROI typically begin by mapping their highest-friction processes, quantifying the cost of those inefficiencies, and only then evaluating which AI capability best addresses the root cause. The discipline of process-first thinking also prevents a common failure mode by automating a broken process rather than fixing it. AI applied to a flawed workflow does not eliminate the flaw but rather accelerates it.Culture Is the MultiplierPatterson also points to a softer but critical success indicator, which is cultural adoption. If the teams closest to an AI deployment are not using it willingly and consistently, the business case will not hold, regardless of what the pilot showed.The final, and perhaps most important, dimension Patterson raises is culture. Technical capability and strategic clarity are necessary but not sufficient conditions for AI success at scale. The organisations that are genuinely ahead are those that have invested in building an AI-literate workforce, not just an AI-enabled one."Invest in people as much as you invest in AI," Patterson says. "The technology will keep improving. Your competitive advantage comes from people who know how to use it well."For C-level leaders, this means reframing AI investment as a human capability programme as much as a technology programme. Training, change management, and psychological safety around experimentation are not soft additions to an AI strategy, but they are core to its delivery.Listen to the full conversation with Darin Patterson on the Tech Transformed podcast.

Today I'm joined by Srini Pillay, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist, neuroscientist, author, and entrepreneur.Dr. Pillay is a former Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the CEO of NeuroBusiness Group, where he applies neuroscience to leadership, creativity, and innovation. His work focuses on how the brain shapes identity, confidence, attention, and performance.He's the author of several books, including Life Unlocked: 7 Revolutionary Lessons to Overcome Fear and Tinker Dabble Doodle Try, which explores how imagination and unfocused thinking can enhance creativity and problem-solving.We tend to think of the self as fixed.But neuroscience suggests something radical — that the ‘self' might be a construction. A prediction model. A story the brain keeps updating.So what happens if you deliberately update it?What if you step into the qualities of someone you admire — not as fantasy, but as training?Today we talk about his concept of psychological Halloweenism — and whether consciously inhabiting a different identity can change confidence, creativity, and even the body.Is this method acting? Meditation? Neural rewiring?Or something more ancient than we realize?https://drsrinipillay.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
World Wide view Topic: Is the beer business losing its buzz for investors? Guest: Jithen Pillay, portfolio manager of the Allan Gray Equity Fund.
Join Shiva Pillay, SVP and General Manager of Veeam Americas, as he discusses why 80-90% of AI projects fail due to fundamental data issues, revealing that enterprises are attempting to feed AI models with fragmented, poorly governed, and inconsistently labeled data that was never designed for AI consumption in the first place. Pillay explains the dangerous disconnect between C-suite executives confident in their AI-ready initiatives and SMEs still struggling in pilot mode, warning that without proper guardrails, AI errors propagate exponentially faster than human errors with potentially catastrophic consequences from faulty manufacturing parts to compliance violations in regulated industries. Drawing from Veeam's acquisition of security.ai, he introduces the concept of data command graph as critical infrastructure for AI resilience, arguing that data protection, recoverability, and visibility must be embedded directly into the AI stack rather than treated as underlying infrastructure, while emphasizing that as agentic AI systems gain autonomy, the existential question shifts from what can AI do to what is it allowed to do.
What if your brain isn't simply reacting to reality — but actively predicting it?In this conversation, Timothy Schultz speaks with Dr. Srini Pillay, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and neuroscientist, about how the brain shapes perception, belief, intuition, and what many people describe as “luck.”Rather than approaching the law of attraction as a belief system, Dr. Pillay explains it through neuroscience — including how visualization, emotion, attention, and expectation influence what we notice and how we act.Topics include the brain as a prediction machine, intuition and dreams, heart–brain coherence, unfocused awareness, and why openness may matter more than effort when it comes to opportunity.This is a grounded, thoughtful conversation for anyone interested in the science behind intuition, meaning, and the inner life.Hosted by Timothy Schultz, Powerball winner and creator of Lottery, Dreams & Fortune.
Prepared, Willing, and Ready to ServeMr Nithyananthan Pillay from South Africa had his first darshan of Bhagawan in the early 1990s. Deeply drawn to Swami, he chose to pursue a course of study in India, primarily to remain in the country and avail himself of as many darshans as possible. Those four years became a defining phase of his life, reshaping his outlook and inner purpose.He later moved to New Zealand, where he continued to nurture a close connection with his inner Swami, seeking His grace and guidance in every thought and action. In December 2025, he was in Prasanthi Nilayam as part of the New Zealand Prasanthi Yatra. This sacred visit proved to be a profound spiritual recharge, renewing his resolve and strengthening his commitment on the path of universal love and selfless service.Reflecting on his journey, he now affirms, “I am ready, more than ever before, to serve and lead a life of absolute dedication to His mission.” His journey is as moving as it is enlightening.

In mid-September, the UN issued a report stating that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Israel vehemently denies the charge. Genocide is the crime of crimes. It is a highly charged and loaded word. To verify it requires clear and unambiguous evidence. The term was coined by the Polish Jewish lawyer Raphael Lemkin. Genocide combines the Greek prefix “genos” (race, tribe) with the Latin suffix “cide” (killing). Lemkin was aware of the Armenian genocide carried out by the Turks earlier in the 20th century. During the Holocaust, he lost many family members. Lemkin and others were responsible for the Genocide Convention, which was passed unanimously by the UN in 1948. In addition to the recently released UN report, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, as well as two prominent Israeli rights organizations, B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel, declared that Israel's military actions in Gaza constitute genocide.
Donald Trump may have declared the war on Gaza over, but a welcome-but-shaky ceasefire and lasting peace are not the same thing.

On Tuesday, in a groundbreaking new report, the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory officially concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. This comes ahead of the members of the commission stepping down later this year, after announcing their resignations this summer amid the US's escalating attacks on UN personnel.“The Commission concludes that the State of Israel bears responsibility for the failure to prevent genocide, the commission of genocide, and the failure to punish genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” the report says.In this exclusive interview, Mehdi speaks with two of the commissioners behind this report: Chair Navi Pillay of South Africa and commissioner Chris Sidoti, one of Australia's most prominent human rights lawyers.In the interview, Pillay – who previously served as president of the UN's International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda – immediately draws parallels between genocide in Gaza and the Rwandan genocide.“It's when I came to the deliberate shooting of the single standing building where the fertility clinic was and the embryos. That immediately reminded me of the Rwanda genocide where I was a judge and where they ripped the bellies of pregnant women, pulled out the fetuses because they wanted to kill off the entire Tutsi group,” Pillay recounts.Pillay and Sidoti also both point out that unlike the Rwandan genocide, Palestinians in Gaza do not have neighboring countries they can escape to.“There is nowhere that the people of Gaza can go to escape this slaughter,” Sidoti tells Mehdi. “And yet the slaughter has continued.”The commissioners also address criticism that their report does not cover Hamas's war crimes, with Pillay noting that the commission has addressed Hamas's war crimes in previous reports.“It doesn't mean to me that every time you have to strike some kind of balance as if the parties are equal,” she explains. “They are not equal. One is the occupier and the other is occupied.”You can watch the full interview above to hear Mehdi press the commissioners on why it has taken almost two years for them to declare that Israel is committing a genocide, and why Israel prevented their commission from investigating claims of rape and sexual violence from both sides. He also asks whether they fear retaliation from the US for their report, after the Trump administration's sanctioning of ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan and UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese.If you're not a paid subscriber, please do consider upgrading your subscription today and supporting independent journalism.

Nearly two years into Israel's war on Gaza, a United Nations fact-finding mission has delivered its most damning verdict yet: genocide. Navi Pillay, chairwoman of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, says Israeli leaders' statements and the destruction on the ground prove intent. Speaking to Hashem Ahelbarra in Geneva, she explains the commission's findings, what legal consequences Israel could face and what must happen next. As famine sets in and civilian casualties mount, Pillay outlines why this report could mark a turning point in international accountability - and whether the UN will be able to act on its own conclusions.

The unlawful termination of journalist Antoinette Lattouf by the national broadcaster, which resulted in high-profile proceedings in the Federal Court, has shone a spotlight on workplace policies for social media use by employees, and the need for such frameworks to be fit for purpose. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with McCabes principal Melini Pillay about her journey from being a prosecutor to representing defendants in employment and safety matters, how her background in criminal law offers perspective for her current work, the difficulties of managing five generations in the workforce for businesses, and what happened in the Lattouf v ABC proceedings. Pillay also discusses what the court found and the employment law implications moving forward from these proceedings, the difficulties inherent with striking the right balance with a social media policy, what might constitute bringing one's employer into disrepute, the questions that employers should be asking as a starting point, why policies need to appreciate the prevalence of and place for social media in the modern landscape, and practical steps to take in ensuring the right balance is struck when revamping workplace policies.

The fallout from the SolarWinds intrusion took a new turn with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) decision to file a cybersecurity-related enforcement action against the SolarWinds corporation and its Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Timothy G. Brown, in October of 2023. But In July, District Court Judge Paul A. Engelmayer dismissed a number of charges in the SEC's complaint against SolarWinds and Brown. To talk about this significant development in the case, Stephanie Pell, Lawfare Senior Editor and Brookings Fellow, sat down with Shoba Pillay, a partner at Jenner & Block and a former federal prosecutor, and Jennifer Lee, also a partner at Jenner & Block and a former Assistant Director in the SEC's Division of Enforcement. They discussed the court's rationale for allowing some charges to stand, while dismissing others, what stood out most in the dismissal of the case, and how this case may shape the SEC's cybersecurity enforcement actions in the future.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

The fallout from the SolarWinds intrusion took a new turn with the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission's (SEC) decision to file a cybersecurity-related enforcement action against the SolarWinds corporation and its Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Timothy G. Brown, on October 30 of last year. To talk about the details and significance of this enforcement action, Lawfare Senior Editor Stephanie Pell sat down with Shoba Pillay, a partner at Jenner & Block and a former federal prosecutor, and Jennifer Lee, also a partner at Jenner & Block and a former Assistant Director in the SEC's Division of Enforcement. They discussed the cybersecurity and national security implications of the SolarWinds hack, what the SolarWinds enforcement action suggests about the SEC's expectations for disclosure obligations of companies, and whether the SEC or another agency is best suited to determine whether and how SolarWinds should be held accountable. They also discussed larger takeaways and messages sent by the SEC's decision to charge a CISO in this case. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast.
