History’s Guide To The Future Of AI

“In episode #8 of the Next Frontiers of AI Podcast, I’m joined by Irving Wladawsky-Berger—MIT research affiliate, legendary IBM executive, and influential technology innovator. We explore how 50 years of transformative tech provides valuable insights for AI’s future. Drawing from Irving’s experiences shaping mainframes, PCs, client-server systems, e-business, cloud, IoT, and AI, we ask: are we watching the same movie again with new characters? Tune in!”

The Anatomy of a Decision-Making Agent

In this episode of the Next Frontiers of AI Podcast, I go solo to address an array of questions I have received about how to build decision intelligence capabilities in AI Agents and agentic systems.  As the market quickly realizes, generative AI and LLMs are insufficient to fuel these AI Agents, and businesses must build an extended ecosystem of specialized AI models. You’ll learn my point-of-view, which has been informed by dozens of AI experts and pioneering companies. I am eager to hear your views!

Create Resilient Supply Chains with Causal AI

In the latest episode of the Next Frontiers of AI Podcast, hear from Ishansh Gupta, the lead data scientist for quality management at BMW Group. We discuss how advancements in AI are being used to create more resilient and trustworthy supply chains and manufacturing processes.

You’ll also learn more about the power of Causal AI, why Ishansh became an early Ph.D. in the rapidly expanding field, how he earned his management’s trust, and how he is now nurturing the next generation of AI and data science talent. 
 

AI That Knows Why

In this episode of the Next Frontiers of AI Podcast, I am joined by Stuart Frost, the CEO and founder of Geminos. We discuss the future of AI-powered business decision-making, which understands why outcomes occur. You’ll learn how this industry pioneer has delivered next-generation AI platforms that incorporate new innovations in Causal Knowledge Graphs. By integrating causal relationships, Causal Knowledge Graphs transform knowledge graphs from passive repositories into dynamic, self-reinforcing systems that provide a foundation for more intelligent decision-making AI agents.

Next-Generation AI in Financial Services

n this episode of the Next Frontiers of AI Podcast, I am joined by Jayeeta Putatunda, the director of the AI Center of Excellence at the Fitch Ratings, to discuss the unique needs of financial services organizations and how institutions are addressing the limitations of today’s AI. You’ll learn about the power of advanced RAG frameworks, agent-based architectures, and knowledge graphs and how Causal AI combined with RAG represents the next frontier for actionable, interpretable, and reliable AI decision-making.

Making AI Decisions Explainable

In this episode of the Next Frontiers of AI Podcast, I am joined by Marc Le Maitre, the CTO of Scanbuy, to discuss how his organization achieved a 10x ROI in digital advertising campaigns by creating fully explainable and transparent AI models through the emerging innovation of causal AI. Listen in and discover why Scanbuy is “flying their flag on Causal AI” to transform the world of programmatic advertising. You’ll also learn why causal AI will become a critical component in future Agentic AI systems and is rapidly being democratized for the masses to achieve similar business outcomes.

The Ladder to Agentic AI

The AI landscape is evolving fast, and 2025 is shaping up to be the year of Agentic AI—where AI moves beyond task automation and prediction to goal-driven decision-making. But here’s the challenge: 90% of enterprises want to embark on this journey, yet only one in three know where to start.

On the latest Next Frontiers of AI podcast, we broke down the roadmap to Agentic AI adoption with a simple framework—the Ladder to Agentic AI

#1 – Predictions for AI in 2025

In this first episode of The Next Frontiers of AI Podcast, I am joined by my industry colleague Tim Sanders, VP of Research Insights at G2, to debate theCUBE Research’s predictions for AI in 2025.   We begin 2025 grounded in the consensus that will see the rise of agentic AI. In our predictions, we won’t restate that widely held belief; instead, we will focus on what will shape Agentic AI. We foresee a year of advancements that will tackle various real-world barriers to AI adoption and elevate the playing field for enterprises to achieve higher ROI use cases. Join us for this informative conversation, and chime in to let us know what YOU think!
