Inside AI – Ep 3: Swiss Cheese and Bow Ties - Novel Models of AI Risk
Most organisations are getting AI alignment right — but dangerously few are prepared for when things go wrong. Service design leader Dale Rogers joins Jan Esman to explore why preventative controls are only half the story. Drawing on lessons from high-hazard industries, they unpack the Swiss Cheese model, bow tie analysis, and what it really takes to build a culture of AI risk management.
Inside AI - Ep 2: The Agent Problem Nobody’s Ready For
Jan Esman and Jeroen Bolluijt explore the shift to agentic AI, where systems move beyond assistance to autonomous action and decision-making. The episode examines how multi-agent environments, culture-led governance, and interoperability are reshaping enterprise operating models—and what organisations must do now to build trust and control at scale.
Inside AI - Ep 1: Governance is Not the Brakes
CTO Consulting’s Jan Esman and AI specialist Jeroen Bolluijt explore how organisations can harness the immense power of artificial intelligence while maintaining the governance and control needed to use it responsibly. Using the analogy of a race car, they discuss why many organisations focus on the “brakes” of AI—risk, policy, and regulation—rather than the opportunities ahead.
