Episode Five: When AI Decides Who Dies, Who’s Responsible? Autonomous AI Weapons and Red Lines with Matthew Rosenquist
9 oktober 2026 · 20 min
When an autonomous drone picks its own target and kills civilians, who’s responsible? The commander, the developer, or the state? Cybersecurity veteran Matthew Rosenquist (36+ years, advisor to governments and corporations) explains why AI weapons need international red lines now.In this episode of Redefining AI, Lauren Hawker Zafer and Matthew discuss his Help Net Security article on autonomous AI weapons:• How weapons went from AI-assisted to fully autonomous, with no human in the loop after launch• Why a consumer AI vision chip ended up in a Russian drone used against Ukrainian civilians• The “plausible deniability” problem, and how autonomy could make war crimes easier to hide• Why banning autonomous weapons isn’t realistic, but red lines are• How the Geneva Conventions model shows international agreements can work even when not everyone signs Lees meer
If you've watched generative AI over the past few years, you already understand the shift happening in military hardware. You've just seen it with lower stakes.
Weapons are following the same arc. The first generation of AI in warfare was a very capable assistant. Algorithms crunched telemetry, handled navigation, flagged shapes that looked like tanks but a human operator stayed in the loop, looked at the picture, and made the call. The failure modes were human ones: an overloaded operator, a jammed or intercepted comms link.
You hand it a mission objective and let it go. It plots its own route, coordinates with other autonomous assets, picks targets, and strikes. After launch, there's no one in the loop at all. The failure modes change accordingly: model drift, misidentified targets, and collateral damage delivered at machine speed.
In enterprise software, an agent that goes rogue books the wrong flight or deletes a database. On the battlefield, the error bars are measured in lives.
Here's the part that should make the commercial tech industry uncomfortable: none of this requires exotic, classified hardware anymore.…

Episode Four: ServiceNow's Innovation Chief Executives Explain AI with Dave Wright and Brian Solis
6 oktober 2026 · 32 min
Six words, banned for thirty minutes: transformation, journey, reimagine, unlock, leverage, AI-native. Lees meer
Dave Wright (Chief Innovation Officer, ServiceNow) and Brian Solis (Head of Global Innovation, ServiceNow, and 10x best-selling author) agreed to the rules before the conversation started.
What followed was a plain-language case for why enterprise AI keeps failing. Their argument, from their new book Infinite, is that the problem was never the technology.
It's the company.
In this episode you will find out more about:
AI-native, AI-first, AI-forward: what the labels actually mean, and why Dave thinks no company could be AI-native before generative AI
IKEA's €13.4M service-desk automation, and the €1B+ interior design business built from the capacity it freed, with no job losses
The "iteration trap": using the most innovative technology in history just to do yesterday's work faster
Why most companies are tracking the wrong AI metrics, and what "token maxing" hides
The AI tax: people using AI to write documents so long that colleagues need AI to summarise them
Whether innovation is still possible when intelligence becomes a commodity
Most companies automate what they already do, count the hours saved, and call it a result. Very few reach the second number.
One question to sit with before you press play: the workflows running your organisation were designed around a shortage of people. If that shortage disappeared tomorrow, would anyone notice?

Why Most Enterprise AI Projects Hit a "Value Ceiling" — And How to Break Through | Dr. Fern Halper Lees meer
What separates the companies actually winning with AI from the ones burning budget on chatbots that go nowhere? In this upcoming episode of Redefining AI, host Lauren Hawker Zafer sits down with Dr. Fern Halper — VP of Research at TDWI, Founder of the AI Foundations Group, former Bell Labs lead analyst, and one of the most respected voices in enterprise AI strategy — to unpack the ideas behind her highly anticipated new book, Data Makes the World Go 'Round: The Data, Tech, and Trust Behind AI Success.
With over 30 years bridging deep technical execution and C-suite strategy, Dr. Halper explains why so many organisations are stuck chasing hype instead of value, and what it actually takes to move AI from lab experiments into production systems that drive real ROI.
Inside this episode, you'll learn:
Why generative AI hits a "value ceiling" without trusted, governed data foundations
The execution traps that sank AI initiatives at Zillow, Amazon, and others
How data lakehouses and data fabric architectures unify siloed data for AI
Why MLOps is so hard — and why every model eventually degrades
The critical difference between data governance and AI governance
How agentic AI changes the risk equation when systems start taking autonomous actions
The shift from controlling what AI produces to overseeing what AI does
How to tie AI use cases to measurable KPIs instead of vanity metrics
Embedding fairness, explainability, and EU AI Act compliance without killing innovation
Defending against shadow AI while democratising analytics across the business
Whether you're a CDO, CIO, VP of Data, AI product leader, or a business executive under pressure from your board to "do something with AI," this is the strategic playbook you've been waiting for.

Full Video Episode - The Great AI Reshuffle 2026 Predictions - Who Wins When Systems Change - Sangeet Paul Choudary
5 februari 2026 · 19 min
In the episode of Redefining AI, host Lauren Hawker Zafer speaks with Sangeet Paul Choudary, the bestselling author of Platform Revolution and the 2025 Thinkers50 Strategy Award winner for his latest book, Reshuffle. Lees meer
Sangeet argues that we are currently repeating the early mistakes of the Cloud era, viewing AI through the narrow lens of productivity and intelligence benchmarks (like GPT-5) rather than the structural reorganization of work itself.
Lauren and Sangeet dive deep into why the next 18 months will bring a massive "narrative correction" as organizations move from asking what AI is to what it does to their capital allocation and organizational architecture.
In this episode, you will learn:
The Intelligence Trap: Why focusing on brute-force AI performance is a distraction from true system restructuring.
The Workforce Split: How to lead through the divide of "Blind Believers" and "Blind Rejectors."
The Reshuffle Framework: Why AI is the "missing glue" for complex systems and how to redistribute work now that knowledge is no longer scarce.
AI-Native vs. AI-Adopter: How to tell if a company is truly transforming or just "tacking on" tools (The Adobe vs. Figma distinction).
Sangeet Paul Choudary breaks down the fundamental shift from AI-adopting to AI-native, and unpacks the most relevant issue in 2026:
In an AI-adopting company, the person is the "node" and AI is the tool. In an AI-native company, the system is the node, and work is redistributed based on where intelligence (human or artificial) is most effective.
Here is a sharp, condensed way to state that principle:
The true shift isn't about augmenting individuals; it’s about rethinking the architecture of the organization itself. If you assume work must still be organized around individual silos, you aren't being AI-native. Real transformation happens when you stop asking how AI helps the person and start asking how work should be redistributed and restructured now that intelligence is a decentr…
