The AI in Business Podcast

As AI agents move from pilots into live financial workflows, most institutions still can't answer a basic question: who authorized this action, and what evidence backs it up? In this episode, Shahir Daya, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Zafin, examines why uniform governance policies fail at scale and what a tiered, control-tower approach to agent oversight looks like in practice. The conversation covers execution-layer governance, cost visibility across models, and the shift required to move agentic work from promising pilot to defensible production. This episode is sponsored by Zafin. Learn the exact strategies we use to help leading AI brands and startups connect with their ideal enterprise AI buyers: visit emerj.com/AD1

Risk and Cost Governance for AI Agents in Regulated Institutions - with Shahir Daya of Zafin

A persistent gap remains between what modern manufacturing technology makes possible and how day‑to‑day work is still executed, with paper workflows, limited machine visibility, and siloed data preventing real operational control. In this episode, Sebastian Dykas, Director of Manufacturing, Engineering, and Maintenance at Smith+Nephew, examines with host Marilie Fouché how tighter data capture and connected systems can move leaders toward real‑time process control and reduced variability. The discussion highlights practical shifts in measurement, machine connectivity, and automation that help teams stabilize output and build more reliable, digitally enabled operations. ​ Learn how leading organizations define the right data — and why cross‑functional collaboration is essential to getting it right.

Turning Manual Manufacturing Variability into Data‑Driven Control – with Sebastian Dykas of Smith+Nephew

Experienced field engineers are retiring or moving on faster than ever, and the troubleshooting knowledge they carry rarely makes it into a manual before they go. In this episode, Deniz Mullis, Senior Director of Global Technical Operations at Cytiva, examines why closing that knowledge gap takes daily feedback loops, cleaner documentation, and technician trust. Deniz joins Emerj's Yolandi de Weerdt to walk through what breaks first during a rollout, how her team builds confidence in AI-assisted guidance, and what has to be true inside a service organization before an AI investment can pay off.

The pace of modern IT operations is collapsing under the volume of alerts and the slow speed at which teams can contextualize data during active incidents. In this episode, Luke Rotta, Director of Site Reliability Engineering at Charles Schwab, examines how fragmented tooling, slow triage, and human‑driven workflows create persistent drag on response speed in conversation with host Yolandi de Weerdt, and why AI‑driven pattern recognition and automation meaningfully change that equation. He highlights how leaders can reduce operational noise, build trust in automation through simulation, and sequence high‑volume workflows to move teams from reactive firefighting toward more intelligent, reliable operations.

Financial institutions are pushing agentic AI past pilot mode and into document-heavy, regulated workflows like AML alerts and account closures, but many leaders still lack a clear model for where automation should run freely and where human judgment has to stay in the loop. In this episode, Yoav Naveh, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Reindeer AI, examines how banks are structuring agent oversight so automation earns trust incrementally instead of replacing compliance teams outright. The conversation covers how to identify workflows ready for agentic AI, what signals show an agent is learning rather than failing, and how public and historical data can strengthen both compliance decisions and customer retention.

Most enterprise AI pilots don't stall because the underlying models fail — they stall once real production stakes, fragmented systems, and unclear ownership enter the picture. In this episode, Larissa Schneider, Co-Founder & COO at Unframe, unpacks why AI initiatives lose momentum on the way to production and how modular, reusable architecture changes that trajectory. The conversation covers where deployment friction actually originates, how modular AI components cut integration time from months to weeks, and what governance and auditability enterprises need before pushing AI-driven workflows live.

AI Deployment at Retail Speed - with Larissa Schneider of Unframe

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.

The Mobile Security Imperative for Regulated Industries - with Tom Tovar of Appdome

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.
