AI SIX Podcast

Send us Fan Mail

One year ago today, on St Brigid's Day, I pressed record on the first episode of AI SIX.

If you've been with me since Day 1, thank you. If you're new, welcome. You're right on time.

300 episodes. Six minutes a day. Every single day for a year.

Today, I reflect on the lessons, shifts, and insights from a year of showing up every single day. From workflows over outputs, briefing over prompting, to judgment over speed. AI rewards consistency, not flashes of brilliance.

Are you ready for the AI revolution at work? 

In this episode, Joost Postma, a seasoned tech support professional and AI enthusiast, shares his journey from experimenting with AI-generated images to creating AI training frameworks and governance systems for the corporate world. 

We dig into the hard truths about job displacement for knowledge workers, the impact of the EU AI Act, and why a “wait and see” approach to AI could leave you behind. Joost shares actionable strategies like “stealth certification stacking,” how to pivot into AI-resistant roles, and even how to explore opportunities as an AI entrepreneur.

Ireland is setting out how artificial intelligence should be used in health and social care, and it is asking the public to help shape the rules. 

In this episode, I unpack HIQA’s newly launched consultation and its 115-page evidence review on the responsible and safe use of AI in healthcare.

I explore why the timing matters as the EU AI Act comes into force, how the Department of Health, the HSE, and HIQA are working together, and the twelve themes that will guide national policy, from transparency, privacy, and accountability to data quality, human oversight, and protecting the human connection in care.

If your head feels overloaded with ideas, tasks, and half-formed thoughts, this episode is for you. I explore a simple “Braindump with Miro AI” workflow that turns mental clutter into a clear, visual plan you can actually act on.

You will learn how to get everything out of your head in minutes, use Miro’s AI tools to organise and cluster ideas, generate mind maps, surface themes, and create structure, then apply your own judgement to decide what really matters and what to do next.

New peer-reviewed research published in Science is raising urgent alarms about a powerful new threat to democratic systems. 

In this episode, I explore how coordinated “AI swarms” could manipulate online debate, interfere with elections, and erode public trust at an unprecedented scale.

Featuring insights from an international team of researchers linked to Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, and Berkeley, including Nobel laureate Maria Ressa, I explain how these multi-agent systems work, why they are far more dangerous than traditional bots, and what governments and platforms can do to respond.

Anthropic has just turned Claude into something very different. 

In this episode, I explore Cowork, a new tool that lets Claude work directly on your computer by opening files, organising folders, creating documents, and building presentations on your behalf.

I break down what Cowork is, how to access it, what it can actually do, and the real risks Anthropic is openly warning about, including file deletion and security concerns. You will also hear a real-world test from developer Simon Willison, plus practical tips for using Cowork safely and effectively.

This is not just AI you talk to. It is AI that gets work done.

AI wasn’t just on the agenda at Davos 2026, it was the agenda. 

In this episode, I unpack the biggest conversations shaping the future of artificial intelligence, from soaring profits and energy wars to job disruption, worker upskilling, and the growing gap between global winners and losers. 

Featuring insights from Yuval Noah Harari, Satya Nadella, Jensen Huang, Elon Musk, and more, I break down six defining themes that reveal where AI is heading, and what governments, businesses, and workers need to do next.

What if a simple app could save precious minutes in an emergency and even prevent medication errors?

In this episode, I chat with Declan Watters, a paramedic from Donegal, about the AI-powered medical tool he developed, Medisnap. 

Designed for pre-hospital and emergency care, the app uses OCR and AI to quickly identify medications, flag critical interactions, and provide inferred medical histories, helping paramedics, nurses, and doctors save time and make better-informed decisions.  We dive into how the app was created, how it’s being used internationally, and the journey toward regulatory approval, all while bootstrapped and built as a side project. A fascinating story of AI for good, innovation, and practical impact in healthcare.

Written Parliamentary Questions to UK government departments doubled in 2025. That is according to a Sky News exclusive published on 7 January 2026. 

The number rose from 49,125 in 2024 to 90,331 last year. Government sources are now accusing some MPs of using AI to generate questions, diverting civil service resources and wasting public money. But MPs deny the claim and say the real problem is that ministers are not answering their questions properly.

Today, I am looking at this fascinating story from Westminster and what it means for public sector leaders. Whether or not AI is behind the surge, the implications for government capacity and accountability are significant. This is a case study in how generative AI is changing the dynamics of democratic oversight.

Ireland now ranks fourth in the world for AI adoption. That is according to the Microsoft AI Economy Institute's Global AI Diffusion Report published on January 8th 2026. 

In the second half of 2025, 44.6% of Ireland’s working-age population used generative AI tools, placing us just behind the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and Norway.

Today, I am looking at the key findings from Microsoft's AI Diffusion Report. This is essential reading for anyone working in government, public or private sector communications or digital transformation. The data tells us where AI is being adopted, why some nations are surging ahead, and what lessons we can apply here in Ireland and beyond.
