Episode 38: How trustworthy is AI? - with Daniela Rus, MIT CSAIL
As AI moves from early adoption to ubiquity, questions about reliability, performance, regulation, transparency, and accountability are becoming more frequent and more urgent. Governments, businesses, and consumers are face-to-face with the reality of AI in our everyday lives, and the demand for AI systems that are designed, tested and governed to perform responsibly in real-world conditions grows. So how close are we to trustworthy AI? And what does that actually mean?
Two of the world’s leading AI experts explore the definition and reality of trust in AI in this latest edition of the New Era of Engineering podcast.
Guests:
Dr Mark Roberts, Head of Capgemini’s Global AI Futures Lab
Daniela Rus, Director of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL)

Episode 37: Does R&D need a New Operating Model? - with George Booth, King's College, London
Research and development are industry’s promise for the future. Yet, a perfect storm is brewing. Rising costs, longer cycles, and higher sustainability and performance standards are increasingly compromising R&D budgets. Moreover, complex R&D problems can no longer be addressed inside neat, isolated technology tracks.
Simultaneously, technologies such as AI, high-performance computing, quantum methods, and automated testing offer the opportunity to help R&D face these challenges, but only if businesses can determine a way to bring it all together in a way that is scientifically sound, scalable, and realistic.
This episode of the New Era of Engineering explores how a longstanding partnership between academia and enterprise is enabling deeper thinking about such integration.
Guests: Julian van Velzen, Head of Capgemini’s Quantum Lab
George Booth, Professor of Theoretical Physics, King’s College, London

Future of Engineering: from vision to roadmap
In part two of our Future of Engineering conversation, Keith Williams, EVP & CTO at Capgemini Engineering, and Akshat Vaid, Partner at Everest Group, shift from defining the future of engineering to tackling the real challenge: how to get there.
Building on the “nirvana” vision introduced in part one, this episode dives into the practicalities of road‑mapping and execution in a world where technology, macro‑economics, and geopolitics collide. Keith and Akshat explore what it takes for engineering leaders to translate ambition into action - designing resilient architectures, scaling AI responsibly, and creating knowledge-management systems that capture decades of organizational insight.
They also talk about the evolving role of major engineering tool vendors, the rise of AI‑led development, and how principle‑driven leadership helps teams deliver the now while preparing for what’s next.
If part one mapped the horizon, part two gives you the compass.
