Eva Fors, Databricks’ VP for the Nordics and Benelux, explores what it takes to turn enterprise AI experiments into real business value. They discuss reliable data, agentic automation, cybersecurity, privacy, European regulation, and transforming supply chains and finance. The conversation also examines leadership, culture, employee engagement, and how tools like Genie can become everyday strategic assistants.

Anders Arpteg, an AI expert and technology commentator, joins a fast-moving tour of October’s biggest developments. They explore Google’s Gemini comeback, AI agents reshaping software, and the race for computing power. The discussion also covers Sweden’s new AI supercomputer, breakthroughs in mathematics and physics, world models for robotics, and Tavus’s Griffin, which brings remarkably lifelike face-to-face AI conversations closer to reality.

Anders Arpteg, an AI and technology expert, joins a wide-ranging September news roundup. They explore OpenAI’s Astra and its controversial Navier-Stokes result, the shift toward smaller and cheaper models, and the rise of agentic workflows. The discussion also covers autonomous driving, physical AI, open-weight risks, AMD’s World Labs acquisition, and why today’s impressive systems still fall short of AGI.

In this special two-part Dreamforce episode, our host Ather Gattami sits down with Itai Asseo, VP at Salesforce AI Research, and Dr. Franny Hsiao, Chief AI Architect at Salesforce, to explore how Salesforce is approaching the next phase of enterprise AI. Across the two conversations, they cover Koa, Salesforce's new CRM-specific reasoning model, the role of customer data and privacy, and why businesses should choose the right-sized model for each task rather than defaulting to the largest frontier models. They also discuss dynamic AI interfaces, self-evolving enterprises, and why successful AI adoption depends as much on people, organisational change and continuous learning as it does on the technology itself.

In this August AI news roundup, our host Ather sits with Anders Arpteg to unpack the latest developments in frontier models, physical AI, autonomous agents and the growing race for AI infrastructure. The conversation covers breakthroughs in robotics and latent-space reasoning, fierce model and pricing competition from US and Chinese players, major changes at Google, and the escalating battle for chips and compute. They also explore the limits of current AI reasoning, emerging security risks as agents become more autonomous, and why efficiency, reliability and infrastructure are becoming just as important as raw model performance.

In this July AI news roundup, our host Ather sits with Anders Arpteg to unpack the latest frontier model releases, the rapid rise of open-source competitors, and the growing importance of enterprise agent platforms. The conversation explores how innovation is shifting from raw model performance towards infrastructure, governance, efficiency and latent-space reasoning, while Chinese models, energy constraints and increasingly capable autonomous agents reshape the competitive landscape.

In this June news episode, host Ather Gattami sits down with Anders Arpteg to unpack the biggest AI developments from the past month. The discussion looks beyond frontier model hype to the infrastructure, platforms and specialised models that are starting to define real-world adoption. From GPT 5.6, Claude and China's fast-rising open models to custom chips, enterprise agents, geopolitical pressure, continual learning and AI-enabled cyberattacks, the episode explores where advantage in AI is really shifting: from model weights alone to data, orchestration, efficiency and domain expertise.

In this May news episode, our host Ather Gattami sits with Anders Arpteg to discuss how the industry accelerating on several fronts at once: coding, agentic workflows, enterprise tooling and research capability. As Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Mistral and others push new models and platforms, the competitive edge is shifting from raw model performance toward speed, integration, transparency and data sovereignty. At the same time, breakthroughs in mathematical proof, AI-assisted research and formal reasoning suggest the technology is beginning to move beyond pattern recognition toward genuinely novel insight and more autonomous problem-solving.

In this special episode of AI-Podden, our host Ather Gattami sits down with Rolf Njor Jensen, VP of Technology at Lunar to explore how AI is reshaping the future of banking. From AI-powered support agents and smarter customer onboarding, to the rise of "invisible banking", we discuss how financial services could move beyond the banking app and become part of everyday digital experiences. We also look at what it takes to use AI responsibly in one of the world's most regulated industries, including data governance, privacy, security, human oversight and the new identity models needed for agentic AI.
