Bernard Marr's Future of Business & Technology Podcast

AI is changing filmmaking, because it is shrinking the gap between imagination and a finished frame. 🎥🤖 In this conversation with Samir Mallal and Bouha Kazmi, co-founders of OneDay, we explore how director-led AI workflows are reshaping the creative process, from story development and character choices to building cinematic scenes through rapid iteration.

We talk about why iteration is becoming a creative advantage, how directors can steer generative tools with intention, and why human taste, judgment, and story sense are still the difference between “watchable” and “worth watching.” 🎬🧠 You’ll also hear how they bring traditional craft into AI production, including performance and voice, and why originality at the inception stage matters even more as content volume increases.

We also unpack the big questions around copyright, standards, and trust, and what a more responsible AI filmmaking ecosystem could look like. ⚖️ Finally, Samir and Bouha share why OneDay is raising funds right now, and how they plan to grow while keeping craft at the center. 🚀

If you care about AI video generation, the future of filmmaking, generative storytelling, creative leadership, and where media goes next, this episode is for you.

AI is changing communications and marketing faster than most organizations can keep up.

In this in-depth conversation, I’m joined by Ephraim Cohen, Global Head of Data and Digital at FleischmanHillard, to explore how leading agencies are actually using AI in real workflows, not as experiments, but as everyday tools that improve strategy, creativity, and decision making. 🤖📊

We cover:
✅ How AI is reshaping campaign planning from audience insight to execution
✅ The rise of synthetic audiences and AI powered simulations for reputation and crisis management
✅ Why hands on AI fluency matters more than centralised experts
✅ How to use AI to elevate creativity without producing generic content
✅ What media fragmentation and generative AI mean for brand trust
✅ How communications teams can prepare for the next wave of digital disruption

This episode is packed with real-world examples of how AI is transforming communications, marketing strategy, and corporate reputation in practice.

If you’re a business leader, marketer, communicator, or anyone interested in the future of AI at work, this conversation will give you practical insights you can apply today.

🧠 From Fluency To Thinking: Why Reasoning Models Are The Next Leap In AI

For years, AI progress has been measured by how convincingly machines can talk. The next phase is defined by how well they can think. This conversation explores why that shift matters and what it means for science, industry, and high-stakes decision-making. #MBZUAIPartnership #Sponsored

In this episode, I sit down with Jon Carvill, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at MBZUAI, to discuss the rise of reasoning models and why they represent a fundamental change in how we should judge AI capabilities.

🎯 WHAT WE COVER:

Why fluency alone doesn't guarantee understanding in high-stakes applications

The critical difference between predicting words and reasoning through problems

How MBZUAI's K2-Think was built for reasoning from the ground up, not retrofitted

What makes reasoning models essential for science, engineering, and medicine

Real-world applications: drug discovery, climate science, financial modelling, and manufacturing

Why openness matters: training data, methodologies, and full transparency

The strategic importance of sovereign AI development for trust and governance

How K2-Think V2 achieves strong performance with clear, explainable reasoning

The connection between reasoning models and world models for physical reality

What this means for the future: moving from conversation to reliable decision-making

Where to try K2-Think and access the full open-source release

🔬 Jon Carvill leads marketing and communications at the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, home to the Institute for Foundational Models (IFM). Their work on K2-Think represents a critical step toward AI systems that can be inspected, trusted, and applied to complex real-world problems.

This conversation reveals why the next generation of AI will be judged by its ability to reason rather than talk, why transparency and sovereignty have become practical requirements for adoption, and how open reasoning models could shape the future of science and industry.

If you are curious to try it, K2 Think is accessible through the public web app at k2think.ai, while researchers can explore the full open releases, including data and training recipes, via IFM’s Hugging Face repositories.

🚀 AI adoption is surging in 2026, but are organizations actually ready to scale it safely and responsibly?

In this interview, I sit down with Nathan Turajski, Senior Director for Product Marketing at Informatica, to explore the key findings from Informatica’s CDO Insights 2026 report and what they reveal about the next phase of enterprise AI. We discuss why trust in AI is rising faster than readiness, what the AI trust paradox means for leaders, and why data foundations, governance, and literacy will decide who wins with GenAI and agentic AI. 🧠📊🔐

You will learn how leading data teams are thinking about:

✅ The AI trust paradox, confidence vs readiness
✅ Scaling GenAI from pilots to production, and why data reliability still blocks progress
✅ Agentic AI adoption, new risks when systems can act, not just advise
✅ Unstructured data governance, emails, PDFs, transcripts, and the new frontier of trusted context
✅ AI literacy and data literacy: why people are becoming the real scaling constraint
✅ Vendor sprawl and complexity: how tool fragmentation can slow ROI and increase risk

AI is moving beyond experimentation and into the backbone of the enterprise.

In this interview, I sit down with Pascal Brier, Chief Innovation Officer at Capgemini, to unpack TechnoVision 2026and the five technology trends that will reach an inflection point next year. We discuss how AI is reshaping software development, cloud architectures, and enterprise operations, and what this shift means for business leaders who want measurable impact rather than hype. #CapgeminiPartner #Sponsored

🎯 In this conversation, we explore:
• The year of truth for AI and why 2026 is about proof-of-impact
• How AI is eating software and redefining the software lifecycle
• Cloud 3.0 and why hybrid, sovereign, edge, and multi-cloud matter for AI at scale
• The rise of Intelligent Ops and Human-AI co-steering
• The borderless paradox of tech sovereignty and resilient interdependence

This is a practical discussion for CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, and transformation leaders who want to understand where technology is really heading and how to turn it into business value.

👇 Let me know which trend you believe will matter most for your organization.
