The Age to Come··17 October 2026·24 min

About this episode

Modern enterprise has always run on trust. But as artificial intelligence becomes embedded across every major sector, that trust must increasingly operate at machine speed. The challenge is no longer simply whether organisations can use AI, but whether they can govern it well enough to earn confidence at scale. In this episode of The Age To Come, host Kamal Ahmed is joined by Rhodri Arrowsmith, an IBM leader with expertise spanning public services and cross-sector transformation. Drawing on his work with leaders across industry and the public sector, Rhodri explores how organisations can move beyond pilots to build AI systems that people can understand and trust, with a particular focus on the demands of public services.
