Podcasts about tech industry

AI doomers say that the technology will be the ultimate job-killer. But Jacob Helberg wants people to see AI as a tech that will boost, not replace, human workers and give them superpowers. Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Jacob Helberg joins Sarah Guo and Elad Gil to talk about AI's role in reshoring manufacturing in America, supply chain security, and transforming the US energy grid. He also discusses the CapEx revolution, why he sees opportunity for tech and energy partnerships in the Middle East, and the path to more nuclear energy for the US. Plus, the three explore what the “superintelligence century” could look like. Sign up for new podcasts every week.

Recent tech company protests are highlighting the connection between worker power and free speech here in Seattle. On Sunday, protestors, including current and former Microsoft employees, kayaked across Lake Washington to the homes of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and President Brad Smith. From the water they unfurled banners reading “Microsoft kills kids” and “Satya + Brad = War Criminals”. This was the latest in a week of action calling for the company to cut ties with the Israeli government and military. On Tuesday, protestors briefly occupied a plaza in Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters, declaring it a “Liberated Zone” encampment. On Wednesday, another protest at the campus led to several arrests. KUOW labor and economy reporter Monica Nickelsburg was at Wednesday’s protest, and is here with us to discuss the specific demands of Microsoft, and how the state of the tech industry is changing employee power.

Allison Schiff is the Managing Editor at AdExchanger, where she covers mobile, Meta, measurement, privacy, and the app economy. Allison received her MA in journalism from the Dublin Institute of Technology in Ireland (her favorite place) and a BA in history and English from Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. In this episode… Ad tech companies are under increasing pressure to evolve their privacy practices. What was once considered a “wild west,” loosely regulated environment, is now being reshaped by regulatory enforcement actions and shifting consumer expectations. Many companies are becoming more selective about their vendors, implementing privacy by design, and embracing data minimization practices after years of unchecked data collection. While at the same time, many ad tech companies are rushing to position themselves as AI companies, often without a clear understanding of the risks and how these claims align with consumer trust. To meet rising regulatory and consumer expectations, some ad tech companies are taking concrete steps to improve their privacy posture. This includes auditing third-party tools, removing unnecessary tracking pixels from websites, and gaining more visibility into how data flows through partner systems. On the AI front, research shows that consumer trust drops when AI-generated content is not clearly labeled and that marketing products as AI-powered makes them less appealing. These findings point to the need for greater transparency in company data collection practices and marketing and AI transparency.  In this episode of the She Said Privacy/He Said Security podcast, Jodi and Justin Daniels speak with Allison Schiff, managing editor at AdExchanger, about how ad tech companies are adapting to regulatory scrutiny and evolving consumer privacy expectations. Allison shares how the ad tech industry's approach to privacy is maturing, and explains how companies are implementing privacy by design, reassessing vendor relationships, and using consent tools more intentionally. She offers insight into how journalists utilize AI while maintaining editorial judgment and presents concerns about AI's impact on critical thinking. Allison also describes the disconnect between AI marketing hype and consumer preferences, and the need for companies to disclose the use of AI-generated content to maintain trust.

As part of our mission to support real, lived experiences in tech, we've chosen to preserve the authenticity of this conversation. 2023 was not a great year for Betsy Tong. Only three years after losing her mother to cancer, Betsy found herself navigating a series of personal challenges - a sick father, the end of a long-term relationship - and sudden unemployment at the age of 56.  For years, Betsy had been a near-unstoppable Tech Industry badass, leading teams that developed complex systems for companies like IBM, Lenovo, Symantec, and Intel. But now, just when she thought she'd be able to coast and enjoy the payoff of all her hard work, Betsy's entire life felt like it was falling apart. For the first time in decades, Betsy had no idea what her next step was - or how she'd achieve it without the clout of a big company behind her. But, Betsy did figure it out, and in this episode she talks to Brenda about how she set aside fear, resolved to reinvent herself, and ultimately found purpose - and a thriving second act - in helping other women do the same through her consulting firm, FocusOS. Brenda and Betsy talk about what it takes to release outdated assumptions, rebuild the architecture of our authority, and recognize the unexpected people who help us find our way, like Betsy's own “Shannon.” For more, check out Betsy on...

Ever wondered how customer stories come to life in global tech companies? Welcome to a fascinating conversation with Alyssa Maschi, Head of the Customer Reference Center of Excellence at Lenovo.Alyssa's career journey defies traditional expectations. Starting in nonprofit work, she made a bold transition into tech through channel marketing before finding her way to customer advocacy. Her candid admission that she "had to Google what customer reference marketing was" when applying for her current role reveals an important truth: career paths rarely follow a straight line. What carried her through these transitions? The soft skills she cultivated along the way, communication, relationship-building, and adaptability.Building Lenovo's customer reference program from scratch presented enormous challenges. Alyssa shares how she established the operational foundation, engaged with sellers, recruited customers, and eventually expanded from a single business unit to a company-wide center of excellence. Her role evolved from hands-on implementation to strategic leadership, focusing on program expansion and securing executive support. This evolution offers valuable lessons for anyone tasked with building something new within a large organization.The conversation takes an honest turn when discussing corporate politics and finding advocates. Alyssa credits her success in scaling the program to having a VP who believed in her work and provided the platform to pitch directly to the CMO. For women navigating large tech organizations, this highlights the critical importance of finding champions who can elevate your work to higher levels. When leadership guidance is lacking, Alyssa recommends returning to strategic foundations and expanding your internal network, practical advice for maintaining momentum during uncertain times.Looking to position yourself for promotion? Alyssa suggests a methodical approach: understand the specific requirements for the next level position and document how you're already fulfilling those responsibilities. This evidence-based approach creates a compelling case that's difficult for management to dispute.Join us for this illuminating conversation about career transitions, building global programs, and what it truly means to be bolder, embracing curiosity and following opportunities that spark your interest, even when they aren't obvious next steps.Support the show When you subscribe to the podcast, you are supporting our work's mission, allowing us to continue highlighting successful women in a variety of careers to inspire others helping pay our wonderful editor, Chris, and helping me in paying our hosting expenses.

The technology industry has embraced specialisms — not just in different fields or job roles, like web development or security, but even in terms of particular platforms or stacks. But are we losing something as every tech professional is forced to push themselves into increasingly smaller niches? Martin Fowler and Unmesh Joshi think so. They've been thinking a lot about the importance of what they call "Expert Generalists" — professionals who "can dissect unfamiliar challenges, spot first-principles patterns and make confident design decisions with the assurance of a specialist." In this episode of the Technology Podcast, Martin and Unmesh join hosts Prem Chandrasekaran and Lilly Ryan to discuss how they came to identify the importance of expert generalists and why it was important to not just talk about the issue, but to explicitly name it. They also explore how they believe the industry can cultivate and encourage expert generalists, despite an entrenched tendency to overlook their value.

President Trump's tariffs on China have highlighted how much American companies, and consumers, depend on products made in China. And arguably no company has been more exposed than Apple. The conventional wisdom in the West is that Apple and other corporations simply flocked to China for cheap, unskilled labor. While that is true, it masks the depth of Apple's relationship with the Middle Kingdom. Yes, Apple products are made in China. But Apple also made China—at least the advanced technological China confronting the U.S. today. From training tens of millions of workers, to investing hundreds of billions in the country, our guest today argues that Apple has done more than anyone, or anything, to make China a manufacturing powerhouse. As one tech analyst observed, “It's hard to reconcile the fact that the greatest American company, the most capitalist thing in the world, survives on the basis of a country that has Communist in its title.”So how did America's most iconic tech company become so invested in, and dependent on, the U.S.'s chief global adversary? What did Apple CEO Tim Cook know about what was happening, and when did he know it? How might the world look but for these investments? And as the U.S. government urges companies to de-risk and decouple from China, what position does that put Apple in?Evan is joined by Patrick McGee. He was the Financial Times's Apple reporter from 2019 to 2023 and is now the author of Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company.

Although we've seen great successes come out of the technology sector in recent decades, many critics — and even some insiders — say it's due for an overhaul. As a longtime Silicon Valley engineer and executive and cofounder of the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference, Telle Whitney argues that tech culture is still too closed-off and unwelcoming to different points of view, which leads to products and services that aren't as good as they could be — for consumers and society. She thinks the industry — and corporate tech departments — can stay innovative while also becoming more inclusive and shares her advice for leaders who want to help. Whitney is the author of the new book Rebooting Tech Culture: How to Ignite Innovation and Build Organizations Where Everyone Can Thrive.

Against the backdrop of a culture that traditionally prepared girls for marriage rather than careers, Tara's extraordinary family defied norms – her grandmother founded a school at 65, her mother became an army doctor at 43, and her father taught her mechanical skills from childhood.This foundation of strong role models and hands-on technical experience propelled Tara from aerospace engineering to founding Technovation, which now reaches 400,000 people across more than 160 countries. What makes her approach revolutionary? Rather than simply teaching coding skills that might quickly become obsolete, Technovation focuses on real-world problem-solving through entrepreneurship and cutting-edge AI education.The results speak volumes – 76% of program participants go on to pursue STEM careers, an unmatched success rate Tara attributes to meaningful mentorship. When paired with a mentor, girls have a 95% program completion rate compared to just 10% for typical online courses. This human connection makes all the difference in a girl's technological journey.Looking ahead, Tara shares her bold 15-year strategic vision to reach 25 million young women worldwide – a plan informed by her research showing AI education for girls represents a $200 billion opportunity for the global economy. Her insights on innovation, relevance, and the courage required to pursue ambitious goals offer valuable lessons for anyone seeking to make lasting impact.Want to be part of this transformative movement? Become a mentor and help shape the next generation of female tech leaders while gaining hands-on experience with entrepreneurship and AI.
