S02 E04 AI, Cybersecurity & Critical Thinking: Inside a Law Firm's Real AI Strategy

You know AI is moving fast. But do you know how fast your business needs to move with it?

In this episode, Marco Nicosia sits down with Robyna May, CIO of McInnes Wilson Lawyers, and REDD CEO Bryan Rogers, to unpack what it really takes to keep pace with AI without losing control.

You'll hear why having Co-Pilot switched on isn't the same as having an AI strategy, why zero-day vulnerabilities are becoming exponentially harder to manage, and why quantum computing could turn today's encrypted data into tomorrow's liability.

You'll also get a candid look at governance, tool sprawl, and the very human question sitting underneath it all: how do you protect critical thinking, in your team and in the next generation coming up behind them, when the answer is always one prompt away?

If you're leading a business through this shift, this conversation will challenge how you're thinking about AI, security and accountability.
