#018: AI news for business - week 40

This week on AI news by Future Bytes, host Magnus Oxenwaldt breaks down how OpenAI’s latest moves, Sora 2 and Instant Checkout, signal a shift from apps to AI platforms. TikTok, Google, and even your own website could be next. Welcome to the platform trap. Top stories: Sora 2’s launch turns AI-generated video into social media, reaching the US App Store’s top spot overnight. ChatGPT adds Instant Checkout, enabling shopping, payments, and product search, all without leaving the app. The rise of the “platform trap”. Every major AI company is building its own closed ecosystem for work, commerce, and creativity. Meta’s Business AI connects 700 million consumers with always-on sales agents across all Meta platforms. Microsoft’s Agent Mode boosts Copilot accuracy and brings fully autonomous AI agents into everyday productivity tools. Salesforce’s Agentforce aims for one billion agents by 2025, extending AI into every customer touchpoint. Google fights to protect $273 billion in ad revenue as users turn to AI assistants instead of search. The open web is at risk. Businesses that fail to integrate with AI ecosystems could disappear from the customer journey entirely. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

#015: Future Bytes: Transformation - be bold and engage people

Any transformation takes courage, whatever the technology. “It’s about reimagining possibilities, using data and imagination to drive change, and showing every stakeholder what’s in it for them,” says Ian Kingstone, Business Transformation Advisor at Columbus. “When people align early on what ‘good’ looks like and can see their role in achieving it, they start pulling the change rather than having it pushed onto them,” he says. In transformations involving AI, management often chases cost efficiencies. Kingstone says those will come — but if you really want a competitive edge, you need to be bold and growth-oriented. “The organisations that win won’t just copy; they’ll imagine new possibilities. That requires aligned mindsets and a clear vision. AI can be abstract and hard to visualise, so you need experimentation, testing, and learning. Be brave!” Reach out to Ian Kingstone on LinkedIn at: linkedin.com/in/iankingstone. Got questions or want to share your thoughts?

#012: The Shift

In this episode of Future Bytes, host Magnus Oxenwaldt introduces “the shift”. A fundamental change in how businesses adopt and interact with AI-driven technologies. This isn’t just another tech trend. Rather than simply upgrading software, the shift redefines how systems connect and how people and machines collaborate. It’s transforming how we work, think, compete, and do business. "The shift is when I stop telling software what to do and start discussing what we should do together," Magnus explains. The episode explores six areas of change and what they mean for different industries. Yes, it can feel overwhelming, but it’s also a real opportunity. The question is: how will you respond? Got questions or want to share your thoughts? Reach out to producer julie.malvik@columbusglobal.com or directly to Magnus Oxenwaldt at magnus.oxenwaldt@columbus.com. Hosted on Acast.
