    How AI code is changing software development

    IT leaders are carefully assessing the extent to which AI-generated code can make a difference in their business. On the one hand, AI developers promise their tools can enable faster code deployment and free up time for developers. On the other, it can be difficult to know where to start with AI tools – particularly if you want total reliability in your code. How can enterprises make best use of AI code? And what do these tools mean for the developer teams of the future? In this episode, Jane and Rory are joined by Colin Jarvis, head of forward deployed engineering at OpenAI, to discuss internal code generation.

    SPECIAL EDITION: Why cyber resilience is business critical

    In 2026, cyber attacks are far from the sole provision of cybersecurity professionals. These incidents pose real, hugely destructive impacts for businesses and can seriously impact employee and customer experience in the short and long term. It’s not a matter of if, but when your business is targeted by threat actors. But in the gap between realizing this and implementing the right cyber resilience strategy, there’s potential for enormous financial losses. How can businesses prepare for the worst? And what role can a trusted partner play in reaching true cyber resilience? In this special edition of the ITPro Podcast, in association with 11:11 Systems, Rory is joined by Sean Tilley, senior director of sales EMEA at 11:11 Systems, and Sam Woodcock, senior director of solutions architecture EMEA at 11:11 Systems.

    Managing tech costs in a volatile market

    IT spend can be incredibly hard to accurately calculate. If you’re reliant on public cloud providers for your AI and software needs, you’re open to price rises, license changes, and other baked in costs. The past few years have seen some firms choose to repatriate workloads to offset cloud costs – but this comes with its own risks. Surging international oil and gas prices, driven by conflict, are driving up bills for enterprises and consumers alike – bad news for those running AI workloads on premise. How can leaders begin to get a grip on these costs? And what are some of the major challenges down the road? In this episode Rory is joined by Greg Holmes, EMEA Field CTO at Apptio (an IBM Company), to discuss managing technology spend in the face of rising global instability.

    April rundown: OpenAI hesitations and Apple's new CEO

    April has come to an end and what a busy month it’s been, with major announcements, updates, and cancellations across all corners of the tech sector. Earlier this month, OpenAI made headlines throughout the UK with the news that it was cancelling its landmark Stargate UK project citing region-specific difficulties. But how do these claims stack up, given signs OpenAI is pulling back from other key compute projects? Also this month, John Ternus was announced as the incoming CEO at Apple. What does the Apple’s hardware king mean for the tech giant going forward? And DeepSeek released its much-awaited v4 Pro frontier model. In this episode, Rory is once again joined by Ross Kelly, ITPro’s news and analysis editor, to discuss some of April's biggest news. Read more:

    Google Cloud Next 2026: Scaling AI agents

    Las Vegas may be known as the city of sin, but in the world of tech it’s also the land of conferences. Taking over the Mandalay Bay resort this week was Google Cloud Next, Alphabet’s chance to show off the latest in its cloud strategy and – naturally – AI tools. AI agents, in particular, have been a focus this year as Google Cloud looks to meet surging customer demand with infrastructure and software innovations for AI inference. What story has Google been looking to tell at the event? And what’s the reality behind it? In this episode, Jane speaks to Rory about some of the key talking points at Google Cloud Next 2026.

    The race to become quantum-safe

    For many, quantum computing is a little like nuclear fusion. Each is at the very furthest reaches of deep tech – and each its its own way will change the fabric of the world when realised. Physicists hope that commercial nuclear reactors could be realised by the early 2040s. But quantum computing could come sooner – far sooner. When it does arrive – and leaders in the space now say it could do by 2029 – quantum computing will represent the most severe of risks to our encryption algorithms. Luckily, experts are already working on establishing standards for post-quantum approaches – now it’s up to business to put them in place. How long do we have to adopt post-quantum encryption? And what are challenges are business leaders up against? In this episode, Rory is joined by Jason Soroko, senior fellow at Sectigo, to unpack the technicalities of post quantum cryptography and what it means for cybersecurity professionals.

    Can Europe achieve AI sovereignty?

    AI deployment is inextricably linked to the United States of America. Many of the major frontier labs are based there and the cloud providers that businesses depend on to access the latest models are majority American. But all over Europe, businesses are considering questioning the extent to which their critical workloads should be dependent on the US. In a recent edition of the podcast, we covered all things digital sovereignty. In this episode, we're zooming in on how this push for sovereignty is compatible with AI adoption for European businesses. What does ‘AI sovereignty’ mean in practical terms? And how can businesses isolate workloads from the wider world without falling behind? In this episode, Rory speaks to In today’s episode, I’m joined by René Büst, senior director, analyst in Gartner's Emerging Market Dynamics practice, to explore how European CIOs can balance sovereignty, agility, and compliance.

    How AI is transforming enterprise data

    It’s long been said that good data is necessary before you can have good AI. But to an increasing degree, AI is also helping businesses manage, analyze, and generate their data too. With AI code generation already well understood, businesses are also leaning on natural language processing and agentic AI to help their experts such as data engineers and data scientists automate their work more effectively. What does all this mean for businesses looking to adopt AI? And how is the UK AI market maturing? In this episode, recorded on the ground at Databricks AI Days London 2026, Rory speaks to Michael Green, UK&I managing director at Databricks and Richard Shaw, AVP Field Engineering at Databricks, to better understand how data and AI are converging. Read more: What is natural language processing?‘A true vote of confidence’: Databricks announces $850m UK investment as firm looks to quadruple London office footprint"We want AI to work for Britain": The UK government wants to upskill 10 million Brits in AI by 2030 – and the courses are free to accessThe UK’s AI ambitions depend on channel partnersMicrosoft says fear of falling behind is driving an AI arms race among UK businesses – and it's fueling record adoption ratesDatabricks wants to train 100,000 people in AI across the UK and Ireland – here's how to get involved
