    AI tools are becoming part of daily work for more professionals than ever before, yet adoption rates vary significantly across functions and company sizes. What separates organizations that successfully integrate AI from those that struggle? How do psychological factors like identity and autonomy shape how workers respond to AI implementation? And what role does corporate culture play in determining whether AI becomes a source of innovation or a point of resistance? Stefano Puntoni is the Sebastian S. Kresge Professor of Marketing at The Wharton School.

    2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for data, AI, and how we work. From step-change improvements in foundation models to AI-native workflows reshaping careers, commerce, and education, the pace of change shows no signs of slowing.

    #340 Reviewing Our Data Trends & Predictions of 2025 with DataCamp's CEO & COO, Jonathan Cornelissen & Martijn Theuwissen

    2025 was another huge year for data and AI. Generative AI continued to reshape how we work and interact with technology, with organizations moving beyond experimentation and pushing AI firmly into production. We saw major progress in foundation models, the rise of long-running AI agents, production-ready generative video, and wider adoption of synthetic data. At the same time, AI literacy, adoption, and ROI became central concerns for boards and executives, not just technical teams. This time last year, DataCamp Co-Founders Jonathan and Martijn made a series of predictions about data and AI for 2025. Today, they join Richie to reflect on how those predictions played out—and to share their vision for where data and AI are headed next. In the episode, Richie, Jonathan, and Martijn review the real-world adoption of generative AI, the shift from hype to production, the growing importance of AI literacy and usage at the executive level, the rise of longer-running AI agents, the near-mainstreaming of generative video, Europe’s position in the global AI race, why educators may be among the biggest AI adopters, and why AI hype continues to thrive—plus what they got right, what they got wrong, and what comes next.

    Self-service analytics has been a goal for data teams for years, but recent advances in AI are accelerating progress in unexpected ways. The combination of natural language interfaces and spreadsheet-like tools is lowering barriers to data access across organizations. But how do you balance the freedom of self-service with the need for governance and accuracy? What skills do analysts need to work effectively with AI systems that don't always produce the same results twice? And when AI-generated answers might be slightly off, how do you know when to trust them? Mike Palmer is Chief Executive Officer of Sigma , where he leads the company’s strategy and growth as a cloud-native analytics and business intelligence platform. Since joining Sigma in 2020, he has focused on expanding access to cloud data by enabling business users to analyze data warehouses through familiar, spreadsheet-based workflows. Prior to Sigma, Mike served as Chief Product Officer at Druva, where he was part of the executive team scaling the company’s cloud data management platform and supporting rapid revenue growth. Before that, he was EVP and Chief Product Officer at Veritas Technologies, leading the transformation and modernization of a large enterprise data protection portfolio following its separation from Symantec. Earlier in his career, he held senior general management and executive roles at Seagate Technology and Verizon Enterprise Solutions, overseeing large-scale cloud, security, and enterprise infrastructure businesses. Mike is based in San Francisco and has spent his career building and operating enterprise data and analytics platforms at scale.

Blake Brannon is Chief Innovation Officer at OneTrust, where he leads product vision and strategic direction for the company’s AI-ready governance platform. He has been with OneTrust since 2017, previously serving as Chief Technology Officer, and has played a key role in scaling the platform to support privacy, data governance, risk, and responsible AI initiatives for large enterprises. Blake is based in Atlanta and holds an academic background from the Georgia Institute of Technology, with early research experience in network systems and wireless communications. In the episode, Richie and Blake explore AI governance disasters, the importance of consent and data use, the rise of AI agents, the challenges of scaling governance processes, the need for continuous observability, the role of governance committees, strategies for effective AI governance in organizations, and much more.

    #337 DataFramed, Distilled. The Best Moments of 2025 with Richie Cotton

    2025 was the year AI stopped being a curiosity and started reshaping real work. From data analysts speeding up entire workflows in minutes, to managers learning how to lead hybrid teams of humans and agents, the pace of change has been relentless. Across DataFramed this year, one theme kept surfacing: AI isn’t replacing data professionals—it’s raising the bar on what good looks like. Skills are shifting, careers are becoming more fluid, and organizations are being forced to rethink how they build teams, make decisions, and govern technology that now reasons, plans, and acts on our behalf. This Best of 2025 episode pulls together the most important ideas, voices, and debates from a year that fundamentally changed how data and AI show up in practice. In this special year-end roundup, Richie revisits the standout moments from DataFramed in 2025, spanning careers, business intelligence, data literacy, AI agents, industry use cases, and responsible AI foundations. You’ll hear why the data analyst role is evolving rather than disappearing, how hybrid human–AI teams are becoming the norm, and why communication remains the most underrated skill in data careers, the state of BI and data storytelling, the shift from training to behavior change in data and AI literacy, the rapid rise of agentic systems powered by reasoning at inference time. We also dive into real-world applications across healthcare, finance, and enterprise operations, alongside hard truths about data quality, governance, and model lineage. Finally, we spotlight advances in data science, NLP, and synthetic data—rounding out a year defined by faster cycles, higher expectations, and a renewed focus on getting the fundamentals right as AI scales.

    #335 Rebuilding Trust in the Digital Age with Jimmy Wales, Founder at Wikipedia

    The internet has transformed how we access information, but it's also created unprecedented challenges around trust and reliability. How do we build digital spaces where collaboration thrives and quality information prevails? What separates toxic online environments from productive ones? The principles of neutrality, transparency, and assuming good faith have proven essential in creating sustainable knowledge communities. But these same principles extend far beyond the digital realm—they're fundamental to effective leadership, successful business relationships, and even political discourse. When trust breaks down, everything becomes more difficult. So what practical steps can we take to foster trust in our organizations and communities? Jimmy Wales is an American-British internet entrepreneur best known as the founder of Wikipedia and co-founder of Fandom. Trained in finance at Auburn University and the University of Alabama, he began his career in quantitative finance before moving into early web ventures, including Bomis and the free encyclopedia project Nupedia. In 2001, he launched Wikipedia, which quickly became one of the most visited websites in the world. To support its growth, he established the Wikimedia Foundation in 2003, where he continues to serve on the Board of Trustees and act as a public spokesperson. He later co-founded Fandom in 2004, expanding the wiki model to entertainment, gaming, and niche communities. Wales has also pursued experiments in collaborative journalism, including WikiTribune and its successor WT Social. His work in open knowledge has earned recognition from organizations such as the World Economic Forum, Time magazine, UNESCO, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. He has held fellowships and board roles at institutions including Harvard’s Berkman Center and Creative Commons. In the episode, Richie and Jimmy explore the early challenges of Wikipedia, the importance of trust and neutrality, the role of AI in content creation, and much more.
