DataFramed

AI moves fast, and the news cycle can feel like a fire hose. New tools like agents and digital twins promise to help, but they also add more choices and noise. In day-to-day work, the challenge is less about knowing every breakthrough and more about deciding what matters, then making time to act. How do you cut meetings down, say no without friction, and still ship real work? How do you open your mind to new ideas while avoiding hype? And when you do spot a signal, how do you turn it into action across teams, stakeholders, and shifting priorities.

#345 How to Drive Innovation with Brian Solis, Head of Global Innovation at ServiceNow

AI leaders talk about innovation, but the wider reality is messy: fast change, uneven guardrails, and threats that span cyber, reputation, and customer harm. Industry-wide, organizations are shifting from one-off compliance to lifecycle governance—from inception to decommissioning—supported by boards, CEOs, and frontline teams. For professionals, that shows up as coordination work: shared metrics, incentives for responsible delivery, embedded ethics partners, and rapid-response groups when a new risk appears. How do you decide who is accountable for model behavior? What signals should trigger escalation? And what sources can you trust to stay informed without getting overwhelmed?

#344 Governing Pandora's Box: Managing AI Risks with Andrea Bonime-Blanc, CEO at GEC Risk Advisory

Data and AI teams are drowning in tools, but the big trend is consolidation and speed. AI-driven building is making dashboards, internal apps, and even data workflows feel more like products than reports. Custom interfaces, interactive presentations, and ad hoc apps are becoming easier to create than traditional BI artifacts.

For working professionals, this raises practical questions: should you build a bespoke reporting site instead of another spreadsheet? Can you connect secure data views and prevent leaks by design? What does quality control look like when an agent writes the code—separate chats, clear plans, and tests? And what’s the real cost of going from idea to deployed app: a few dollars, or hundreds?

Matt Palmer works at the intersection of developer experience, product marketing, and AI education. Leading Developer Relations at Replit, he helped grow Replit's revenue from $5M to $100M+.

#341 Our Data Trends & Predictions of 2026 with DataCamp's CEO & COO, Jonathan Cornelissen & Martijn Theuwissen

﻿2025 was another huge year for data and AI. Generative AI continued to reshape how we work and interact with technology, with organizations moving beyond experimentation and pushing AI firmly into production. We saw major progress in foundation models, the rise of long-running AI agents, production-ready generative video, and wider adoption of synthetic data. At the same time, AI literacy, adoption, and ROI became central concerns for boards and executives, not just technical teams.

This time last year, DataCamp Co-Founders Jonathan and Martijn made a series of predictions about data and AI for 2025. Today, they join Richie to reflect on how those predictions played out—and to share their vision for where data and AI are headed next.

In the episode, Richie, Jonathan, and Martijn review the real-world adoption of generative AI, the shift from hype to production, the growing importance of AI literacy and usage at the executive level, the rise of longer-running AI agents, the near-mainstreaming of generative video, Europe’s position in the global AI race, why educators may be among the biggest AI adopters, and why AI hype continues to thrive—plus what they got right, what they got wrong, and what comes next.
