Award-winning serial tech entrepreneur: Forget hyped up AI! We must focus on real value and ROI
Serial deeptech entrepreneur, award-winning innovator, and author Henry Nash discusses AI's hype versus reality, explains why we must now focus on AI's ROI, and explores the future of quantum computing.Henry, who began his entrepreneurial journey in 1986, has worked on a range of tech startups, including Insignia Solutions and Transitive. He is currently involved in leading IBM’s startup programs that support companies scaling through the IBM ecosystem.Henry believes in bringing the business and technology groups of a company together to achieve the near-impossible. Immersive 3D VR chat rooms 25 years before Facebook Meta, horizontally scalable distributed infrastructure 10 years before cloud, the Queen’s Award for Technology and the Queen’s Award for Export, are just some of the things the companies he’s founded have achieved.This conversation was recorded in 2024, before I decided to launch the podcast. Yet the talking points are so relevant to today’s hype-driven AI world that I felt the episode needed to be revived and included in the CEOR debates. It also demonstrates the reality that AI has not really changed much. It’s my counterparts behind the technology who keep on moving the goalposts.Timstamps:(00:00:00) – Preview(00:05:43) – IBM's current approach to AI and why they're not in the conversation.(00:10:52) – Why businesses and enterprises perceive generative AI as high-risk.(00:14:15) – AI models work well in controlled environments, but struggle in the real world.(00:17:38) – Did the tech and AI sectors fail in educating and informing the public about AI?(00:20:34) – Henry's remarkable journey as a deeptech and innovation entrepreneur since 1986!(00:30:58) – How politics and Brexit severely damaged the UK's global standing in AI and deeptech.(00:35:16) – Where are we in the current AI hype cycle, and is it "real" innovation?(00:46:51) – The killer AI solution is the one that offers the real return on investment (ROI)!(00:54:09) – Can AI really replace humans, and who is actually driving this narrative?(01:06:11) – The role of AI in transforming education, prioritising soft skills and critical thinking.(01:25:10) – The upcoming excitement of quantum computing.

Misinformation Watch: Who profits from political violence?
In this emergency episode of Misinformation Watch, in light of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I discuss how social media platforms, crypto bros, and the Trump family profited financially from the barrage of misinformation swirling around the event. Of course, artificial intelligence (AI) played the key roles as you may expect.As someone involved in AI as a deeptech entrepreneur and innovator for almost 25 years, specialising in AI recommendation systems (the AI models used by social media), and building language models to fight misinformation since 2012 at Google Campus London, I discuss how a relentless, AI-powered misinformation campaign around the assassination of Charlie Kirk caused mass anger and division.My key discussion points are based on the evidence presented to us over the past 12 months with my previous guests, who are experts in multiple areas around the media and tech sectors, and human rights.More alarmingly, I discovered that some entities that promoted this misinformation campaign have reaped significant financial gains worth millions of dollars, while the rest of us fight among ourselves.Join the conversation and learn how to battle against misinformation that is consuming our societies around the world. Above all, I hope you will see that we should not allow these entities to divide us, since it will make them richer and make the rest of us angry and depressed.Timestamps:(00:00:00) – Preview(00:00:30) – Misinformation and the Charlie Kirk assassination(00:04:03) – Similarities with the UK's 2024 Far-right summer riots and the key players(00:07:55) – The role of AI recommendation systems in spreading in manipulating behaviours(00:11:50) – Who actually benefits from spreading misinformation?(00:18:40) – Forget the politics and just step back and ask yourself: Why are you upset?(00:24:53) – Who has financially benefited from Charlie Kirk's assassination?(00:29:04) – Social media platforms use the "freedom of speech" excuse to spread the assassination video with intention, not accident!(00:35:13) – The consequences of mass misinformation on innocent victims and wrong accusations.(00:36:21) – How AI fueled false claims and conspiracy theories after the assassination event!(00:40:06) – Call to action for unity and not allowing those in power to manipulate us.

Prize-winning mathematician: AI has no intelligence! It needs people and maths to exist
I sat down with the Leslie Fox Prize-winning mathematician, my mentor and friend, Professor Jeremy Levesley, questioning whether mathematical prowess equates to true intelligence and exploring how AI might bridge or widen societal divides.Jeremy is an Emeritus Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Leicester for over 30 years, and served as the Head of the Department of Mathematics for 10 years.His research in applied mathematics has focused on topics including radial basis functions, their applications in finance, and forensic applications like fingerprint analysis.This conversation was recorded in 2024, before I decided to launch the podcast. Yet the talking points are so relevant to today's hype-driven AI world that I felt the episode needed to be revived and included in the CEOR debates.

How my dyslexia broke LinkedIn algorithms and blew up my following!
In this episode, I’m having an open discussion with you about how being authentic to yourself can be a game-changer throughout your personal and professional life, even when the world seems to push back.While I use LinkedIn as my most recent example, where my tiny following of a few hundred blew up to over 10,000 in under 5 months, without any marketing or advertising campaigns, I applied the same principles of true authenticity and identity that I used during my professional sporting years in the 1990s, university education (with dyslexia), and my entrepreneurship journey since 2002.Episode Notes & Citations:https://ceoretort.com/podcast/solo/2025/09/04/how-my-dyslexia-broke-linkedin-algorithms-and-blew-up-my-following/Support our independence by becoming a member:https://CEORetort.com/SupportCheck out our new YouTube channel, The CEO Retort Extra: youtube.com/@ceoretortextraSponsors & Offers:Brain.fm – Peak your productivity on demand with Neuromusic.
