Tom interviews Leon Butler, CEO of IBM UK & Ireland, about the evolving landscape of data sovereignty, AI and quantum computing; plus, how IBM is leveraging its acquisitions of DataStax and HashiCorp.
Leon Butler, IBM’s UK and Ireland CEO, explains why most generative AI models aren't fit for enterprise use and stresses the need for transparent, trusted systems. He also discusses how recent acquisitions - including HashiCorp and DataStax - support IBM’s push to automate enterprise IT.
Leon talks about other key IT areas, like data sovereignty and regulation; agentic AI; and quantum security. He argues that this is the time to work on preparing for quantum threats, even if adoption feels distant.
