Tech Talks

Medical aesthetics is a $95 billion industry, yet it remains shockingly under-regulated.
Shirin Krall, founder of MARBL, set out to change this by building an AI-enabled marketplace that identifies safe, high-quality clinics. But doing the right thing for consumers sparked unexpected backlash and cease-and-desist letters from the industry.
David Savage explores Shirin's pivot from Revolut, the human impact of opaque tech, and why founders should tackle hard, societal challenges instead of trendy problems.

Not every decision that shapes the future of technology happens in a coding sprint. Some unfold slowly, over years and years, and end up in the highest court.
Today, we’re looking at a landmark moment for UK innovation. When Emotional Perception AI was told they couldn't patent their artificial neural network, it wasn't just a setback for one company, it threatened to stifle investment and value across the entire tech sector. Our guest, patent attorney Bruce Dearling, architected the arguments that took this fight all the way to the Supreme Court. 
We unpack the human resilience behind this legal battle, the friction between government policy and real-world startup funding, and why dragging 50-year-old legislation into the 21st century might be the ultimate key to unlocking the UK’s tech economy.

Many traditional enterprises mistakenly believe that simply adopting cloud tools internally means they have a working AI strategy. In reality, true AI readiness requires breaking down entrenched data silos to expose engines to diverse, multi-application datasets.
In today's episode, MinIO co-CEO Garima Kapoor unpacks why scaling AI isn’t just a technical hurdle, it is a massive structural challenge that demands making "hard decisions inside your organization".
We explore the human tensions behind legacy tech transformations and why fundamental changes to systems and processes are doomed to fail without uncomfortable, top-down alignment from the boardroom.
