Alex Rutter: Transparency? Google’s Got It Covered

Episode Summary

Tom and Alex Rutter, EMEA MD of AI at Google Cloud, explore the biggest business opportunities in AI. From agentic to open models, they discuss how IT and business leaders alike are approaching AI.

Episode Notes

Every tech vendor is trying to crack AI, but does that match up to how it's being adopted on the ground? In this episode Tom and Alex Rutter of Google Cloud talk about the difference in approach from IT leaders - focusing on governance, compliance and integration - and business leaders - eager to move quickly and pushing for quick, transformative wins. Alex outlines how Google's prioritisation of 'consumable' AI, practical tools that solve problems today, is trying to satisfy both groups.

We also explore the role of open models like Gemma, the importance of transparency in AI systems, and how agentic AI could shape the next wave of enterprise innovation.
