Navigating the Age of AI: Strategy, Trustworthy Innovation, and Ecosystems podcasts
Welcome to the Cloud Lighthouse podcasts — your gateway to the ideas shaping the future of AI. Here, we bring together three distinct series that explore the strategic, ethical, and human dimensions of AI as your compass for navigating the future.
Strategy from the Center for Trustworthy AI
Cloud ecosystems built on strategic foundations create the conditions to absorb successive waves of change
How do we realize AI’s transformative potential in the realms of science, medicine, engineering, and productivity across the economy while not sacrificing our institutions, our culture, our communities, our human rights to its use?
You see, to be trustworthy, AI must be guided, constrained, and put to task by the human compass. In more practical terms, Trustworthy AI is about creating the structures, about building digital ecosystems that are strategic, responsible, safe, reliable, and scalable for the Age of AI.
Trustworthy Innovation from the Human in the Loop
From drift to directive: navigating AI
From Drift to Directive is the Center for Trustworthy AI’s deep dive into the shifting tides of AI governance. In a world where algorithms steer decisions, and trust is the new currency, we explore how to anchor artificial intelligence in ethics, transparency, and accountability.
Each episode charts a course through regulatory waters, technical dilemmas, and philosophical quandaries—with expert guests, sharp questions, and the occasional splash of wit.
Whether you're coding at the helm or policy-making from the crow’s nest, this is your compass for navigating AI’s future.
Ecosystem Show
Cloud ecosystems built on strategic foundations create the conditions to absorb successive waves of change
Ecosystems is the collaboration of Mark Smith (LinkedIn | Twitter), Ana Demeny (LinkedIn | Twitter), Chris Huntingford (LinkedIn | Twitter), Will Dorrington (LinkedIn | Twitter), and Andrew Welch (LinkedIn | Twitter). We’re enabling the global Microsoft community to build vibrant cloud ecosystems across Azure, Power Platform, Fabric, M365, and D365.
Technological advancements in this space are now moving on timelines that in some instances can be measured in weeks. Not months. Not years. But weeks. This both accelerates and is accelerated by the shift to ecosystem-oriented architecture and the adoption of artificial intelligence. In other words, getting the platform ecosystem right in an organization is both necessary to creating the greatest likelihood that the organization can absorb rapid change, whilst simultaneously creating the conditions that drive rapid innovation forward. Your cloud ecosystem is the catalyst for your future-ready organization.
But the IT industry faces a major challenge in that too many people and organizations are focused on the wrong things. Or, to be more precise, too many organizations have misallocated their focus, prioritizing workload implementation either at the expense of or out of ignorance to architecting strategic foundations, building the platform ecosystem, and creating the conditions for success. Too much energy remains focused on building apps ‘n stuff, and not enough energy is devoted to accelerating the building of apps ‘n stuff in an exponential way.
