What kind of impact will losing its antitrust lawsuit have on Google, and does anyone even care given all of the hype around generative AI? In addition, Microsoft strikes back against Delta over the CrowdStrike outage, and we are wondering if anyone is paying attention to the two American astronauts that remain on the International Space Station. Evan Kirstel, the Techfluencer, joins the show as guest co-host to discuss this and other technology news from previous weeks.
The recent CrowdStrike and Microsoft outages have raised several red flags at companies about their preparedness for when disaster strikes. Could adopting a Chief Risk Officer or Chief Resilience Officer helped with either predicting such vulnerabilities, or at least helped with recovery efforts? Spencer Kimball, CEO and co-founder at Cockroach Labs, chats with Keith about the benefits and challenges for companies around the idea of a Chief Risk Officer, and what companies need to be thinking about in a post-outage world.
The Apple Vision Pro has been out for a few weeks now, and reviews have been mixed about whether this is the future of computing or just a really expensive gadget.

Microsoft has invested $13.1B in generative artificial intelligence, but early indications of Copilot for Windows suggests it’s nothing more than an updated version of Clippy. Can other versions of Copilot, such as M365 for enterprise users, be more successful? Keith Shaw chats with Computerworld’s Preston Gralla about his annoyance with the latest AI tools from Microsoft.
Recent trends indicate continuing problems around generative AI, such as security issues, the ‘dumbening’ of the tech, and cost problems — which leads us to wonder whether we are about to hit the proverbial ‘trough of disillusionment.’ Is this the case or are we just at another plateau, with more greatness to come? Keith Shaw speaks with Mike Mason from Thoughtworks and Nicholas Mattei from Tulane University about whether we have reached “Peak AI."
Technology that can create artificial intelligent avatars of humans is now moving beyond just celebrities and politicians.

Foundry's Keith Shaw chats with Joe Murphy, a technology evangelist with DeepBrain AI, about AI avatars and how they can help people get more done while also reaching new audiences.

Lucas Mearian, a senior reporter at Computerworld, talks with us about the latest findings.
The looming launch of electronic data record exchanges will allow more doctors, hospitals and other health providers to more easily share records amongst each other.
