  • How Digital Twins & AI Are Saving Billions in Infrastructure Costs | Jack Curtis from Neara
    Episode Summary

    What if we could simulate extreme weather before it strikes, and use AI to prevent billions of dollars in damage?

    In this episode of In the Blink of AI, Georgie Healy sits down with Jack Curtis, Chief Commercial & Operations Officer at Neara, the startup building digital twins of critical infrastructure like electricity grids. Together, they unpack how AI is reshaping energy, data centers, and even Australia’s role in the global technology race.

    From the true drivers of rising energy bills to why “climate tech is far from dead,” Jack shares a candid inside look at the intersection of AI, infrastructure, and policy. You’ll hear why digital twins are more than just a buzzword, what governments are getting right (and wrong) on AI, and how Australia can seize its moment to lead.

    Episode Summary

    Frank Greeff, the founder behind a $180M exit and the viral Founders Table series, is back, this time building Kinso, an AI messaging aggregation tool set to change how businesses communicate.

  • The Billion-Dollar AI Opportunity No One’s Talking About - With Asseti’s Aonghus Stevens
    Episode Summary

    Aonghus Stevens, founder of Asseti, built his first drone business as a teenager and now leads one of Australia’s most fascinating AI infrastructure startups.

  • Sarah Kaur on Human-Centred AI, Design Ethics, and Reimagining Tech from the Ground Up

    Sarah Kaur is not your typical technologist, and that’s the point. As Principal Design Strategist at Portable, she brings an artist’s eye and a community-first mindset to the world of AI and justice tech. In this episode, Sarah joins Georgie Healy to explore what it really means to build AI that works with people, not just on them.

    They dive into the hidden biases in design, the pitfalls of “black box” systems, and the real cost of leaving communities out of the development process. From building tools in Australia’s family law system to dreaming up a sovereign digital twin that protects your data, Sarah’s approach to ethical innovation is bold, reflective, and deeply grounded in care.

    Whether you’re designing for scale or simply wondering how AI can be made more equitable, this conversation will give you a new lens on what it means to build technology that respects, adapts, and listens.
