Gartner predicts that 40% of enterprise applications will include task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from less than 5% today. If you think the pace of change in the last twenty four months was fast, 2026 will feel like a total shift in the professional landscape. 

We are moving away from the era of the curious experimenter and into the era of the agentic architect. The question is no longer can you use AI, but can you govern, orchestrate, and refine it to a professional standard.

In this episode, I am looking at the three core skills you must master to remain relevant and competitive in 2026.

The U.S. federal government has set up AI contracts worth up to hundreds of millions of dollars each with four major providers, OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Elon Musk’s xAI. 

Through a new agreement, xAI’s Grok chatbot can now be procured by virtually any federal agency, marking a significant moment in how advanced AI is integrated into state institutions.

Today, I am looking at how xAI has secured a place in US government operations and what this signals for the broader adoption of AI in public administration.

Anthropic has just changed how developers work with AI. It is called Claude Code.

It runs inside your terminal, can read your codebase, and can even carry out fixes for you. We are moving from generative AI, which talks about the work, to agentic AI, which does the work.

Today, I’m taking a closer look at Claude Code. If you follow my Four Levels of AI Maturity framework, you will know we are moving rapidly from Level Two, AI Assistants, to Level Four, Agentic AI. 

Claude Code is a prime example. It does not just talk about work. It performs it.

In this episode, I join Good Morning Dublin to unpack the controversy surrounding Grok, X’s AI tool, after it was found to generate sexually explicit images without consent. They explore why weak moderation matters, how Irish and EU regulators are responding, what Coco’s Law means for online safety, and where the line must be drawn between innovation and public protection.

Meta has paid over $2 billion for Manus, a Singapore-based startup with the most advanced autonomous AI agent on the market. Manus does more than answer questions. It plans, coordinates, and completes tasks like market research, data analysis, recruitment screening, and code.

In this episode, I explore why Meta bought Manus, how it powers workflows across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Meta AI, and why execution matters more than just models.

When the world woke up to Grok allowing users to undress people and share essentially pornographic material - mainly affecting minors and women - the world responded. Governments responded. Media regulators responded. Politicians responded. The public responded.

But what's been the impact of that response? That's what I want to get into in today's show.

When AI learned how to write, many healthcare communicators wondered what that meant for their role. 

In this episode, Diane Hammons, Director of Digital Engagement at WG Content, explores how AI is reshaping healthcare content and communications without replacing the human side of storytelling.

From early fears around generative AI to the practical use of custom GPTs, Diane shares how healthcare organisations can adopt AI responsibly while protecting trust and authenticity. 

The conversation covers where AI genuinely adds value, why human storytelling remains essential in healthcare, and how communicators can prepare for an AI-first future that includes agentic workflows and generative engine optimisation.
