What happens when organisations deploy AI with no governance, no oversight, and nobody accountable?Puneet Matai has been inside that room.With over 20 years leading data and AI initiatives across global banks and technology companies — from Santander Bank to UOB, now at Temus (Singapore's Temasek-backed digital transformation firm) — and as a faculty member at Columbia University, Puneet has seen firsthand what happens when AI moves faster than the rules meant to control it.He holds a global patent. He has advised C-suite executives across continents. And he has one belief that sets him apart from almost every AI voice out there:"I don't call it Artificial Intelligence. I call it Augmented Intelligence."In this episode, we go deep on:→ Why he refuses to use the term "Artificial Intelligence" — and why that reframe changes everything→ The 3 AI risks every company is quietly ignoring: bias, explainability, and data drift → How to build a career in Data & AI Governance before everyone else figures out it's the hottest skill in tech→ Why "Human + AI" will always beat full automation — and what that means for your job→ What 20 years in the trenches taught him that no AI course will ever coverThis is a conversation about power, ethics, accountability — and what real leadership looks like when the stakes are this high.─────────────────────────────🎙️ GUESTPuneet MataiData & AI Governance Leader | Temus, SingaporeFormer: Rio Tinto Commercial, UOB, Santander BankFaculty, Columbia University | Global Patent HolderLinkedIn → linkedin.com/in/puneet-mataiThe Listening Platform - We are Coaches, who deal with Clients from various spectrum.

In this episode, Dr Annathurai Gnanasambandam shares 10 practical life messages shaped by a lifetime of lived experience — through family, learning, failure, service, and reflection, including nearly 30 years of living in Australia.This is not a conversation about titles or achievements, but about the lessons that quietly accumulate over time: helping one person achieve their ambition, encouraging children to fail safely, celebrating loved ones while they are alive, preserving family stories, applying boldly without attachment, setting boundaries, thinking differently from the crowd, designing parallel lives, choosing whom to help, and doing your best in every role you play.Shared with honesty and humility, these reflections are offered in the hope that even one message might resonate, linger, and gently influence how you think about your own life.The Listening Platform - We are Coaches, who deal with Clients from various spectrum.
