A data and AI time capsule: what’s changed, what hasn’t and what comes next

with Jason Foster, Founder & CEO of Cynozure + special guests

Episode: 256

What’s in this podcast?

In this special 10th anniversary episode of Hub & Spoken, Jason Foster, CEO & Founder of Cynozure, creates a time capsule for the data and AI industry: looking back at the last decade, reflecting on where we are today and exploring what the next ten years could bring.

Drawing on voices from people who have seen the shifts, lived the challenges and done the work, Jason explores what the industry got right, where expectations have run ahead of reality and what still matters when it comes to creating value from data and AI.

The episode explores AI’s rise in the boardroom, the speed of experimentation, the challenge of moving from proof of concept to production and the growing importance of humans in the loop. But it also comes back to the fundamentals that continue to shape success: business outcomes, data quality, governance, adoption, trust, culture and leadership.

It is a chance to pause, take stock and ask what we know to be true now, and where we think things are headed. And, for anyone listening in 2036, to see what we got right and what we got wrong.
