Predictably Good with Cronan McNamara

Following a busy summer of industry conferences, meetings and conversations I sit down with Brendan Ring and James Doyle to discuss What the Summer Conference Circuit Tells Us About AI, Data & Risk. 

We explore the themes that came up time and again: where AI is genuinely starting to make an impact, how organisations are changing the way they think about data, and how approaches to risk management are evolving.

We share what we heard, what stood out, and what these developments could mean for organisations in the months ahead, all with practical takeaways and perspectives from across the summer conference circuit.

Where AI, Data, and Predictive Intelligence Shape Better Decisions

From public health to financial markets, from food safety to nuclear systems, the world runs on decisions made under uncertainty.

Predictably Good explores how AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics are transforming how we assess risk, model outcomes, and make better decisions across industries.

Each episode brings together leaders from science, industry, finance, and policy to unpack how predictive intelligence is being applied in the real world—whether that’s safeguarding food systems, managing financial risk, designing resilient infrastructure, or navigating global uncertainty.

We go beyond theory into application: early-warning systems, probabilistic modelling, scenario analysis, and decision-making at scale.

At its core, this podcast is about one thing: how to make better decisions when the stakes are high and the future is uncertain.

Join Predictably Good to understand how predictive thinking is shaping safer, smarter, and more resilient systems across the world.
