Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk is making waves in 2025 as technology touches every facet of daily life, from AI in parenting to cybersecurity breakthroughs. In the past week, a surge of interest in practical tech applications has aligned with the series' mission: demystifying digital advances and connecting listeners with thought leaders shaping the landscape.
A recent event discussed by O’Reilly Media, the GenAI Superstream: Everyday AI Agents, highlighted how generative AI is no longer confined to software developers. AI agents are now accessible tools for those outside traditional tech circles, performing complex tasks autonomously and transforming industries. Attendees learned from leaders like Workday’s Kathy Pham and ChatPRD’s Claire Vo about how AI agents are not just hypothetical—they’re already optimizing workflows, enforcing creative governance, and managing real business operations. This democratization means anyone can envision AI not just as a chatbot, but as an indispensable co-worker, which echoes the vision often explored on Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk.
Meanwhile, technology’s impact on home life was a hot topic at an AI parenting workshop recently covered by Business Insider. Parents shared firsthand how new AI tools are turning screen time from static consumption into dynamic creativity. For instance, Google’s Gemini storybook feature let families collaboratively create personalized stories, with one parent noting that AI transforms “most of our interactions with the screen into creative interactions rather than purely consumption.” This kind of nuanced, real-life perspective—examining both possibilities and pitfalls of family tech—is a hallmark of the IRL Tech Talk approach.
Cybersecurity is also front and center this month. According to SiliconRepublic, the Cyber Ireland National Conference in October focused deeply on AI security, quantum readiness, and the call for industry-wide collaboration. With more than 500 companies and 8,000 employees fueling the Irish security sector alone, keynote speakers stressed one unified message: the time to prepare for the post-quantum era is now. This ongoing transformation—where digital threats loom but also catalyze innovation—fits squarely within the scope of Beyond the Screen discussions, driving home why listeners must stay vigilant and informed.
Whether it’s AI agents at work, creative tech at home, or the evolving threat landscape online, Beyond the Screen: IRL Tech Talk remains an essential platform for unpacking how technology is reshaping reality.
