The AI in Business Podcast

Infrastructure readiness has become the real bottleneck for agentic AI in healthcare, as enterprises confront the shift from systems that generate content to systems that execute tasks across complex, regulated workflows.
 
In this episode, Alex Tyrrell, SVP and CTO of Health at Wolters Kluwer, examines how agentic AI changes operational demands for healthcare organizations in conversation with host Matthew DeMello, highlighting the need for domain‑adapted reasoning, granular APIs, and stronger observability as agents drive higher‑volume system interaction.
 
He underscores the practical implications for leaders: preparing backend systems for agent‑driven load, adapting models to real‑world workflows, and avoiding monolithic architectures that limit safe, scalable deployment.

Mobile app attackers already operate at machine speed, but most enterprise cyber functions still rely on manual, human-paced patch cycles to keep up. In this episode, Tom Tovar, Co-Creator at Appdome, examines how agentic AI is replacing manual vulnerability assessment and forcing cyber teams to become producers of protection rather than evaluators of risk. The conversation covers the shift from application-level security policies to release- and user-level personalization, the data and context needed to run agentic protection pipelines, and the accountability questions that come with agentic decision-making.

A surge in AI adoption is forcing enterprises to expose sensitive data to new systems and access paths, creating security risks that traditional perimeter models can't contain.
 
In this episode, Todd Vancil, Vice President of Veeam's Securiti AI Sales Engineering Team, examines how securing the data itself — through classification, labeling, and governed access — becomes the prerequisite for safely deploying AI at scale, in conversation with host Daniel Faggella, Emerj CEO and Head of Research.

Enterprises rushing agentic AI into production are running it through approval gates, batch windows, and audit systems built for human speed — and the gap is where most operational risk lives. In this episode, Chris Caldwell, President and CEO at Concentrix Corporation, examines how machine-scale transactions break processes designed for human pace and why bounded digital delegates outperform unrestricted digital twins in the enterprise. The discussion covers compliance bots that check other bots, the cost reality of poorly tuned agentic agents, and what leaders need to stop doing if they want a defensible AI roadmap.

Legacy enterprises are facing a decisive shift from stalled pilots and fragmented data toward agentic systems that reshape customer experience, operations, and net‑new revenue.
 
Matt Renner, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Google Cloud, examines how leaders can move beyond early AI failures to build modern data foundations, orchestrate heterogeneous agents, and accelerate transformation in conversation with Daniel Faggella, Emerj CEO and Head of Research.
 
The discussion highlights capability‑driven ROI, structured AI governance, data modernization, agentic orchestration, and the emerging security imperatives shaping enterprise adoption.
