This episode is brought to you by Genesis. What does it actually take to put a GenTic AI to work across an entire enterprise? I recently spoke with Genesis chairman and CEO Tony Bates about why orchestration is emerging as a competitive advantage in customer experience and what companies need to get right in the AI era. Then I sat down with Adam Mitchell, head of Enterprise Business Solutions at Voya Financial to go inside a large-scale Agentix CX transformation, including the business decisions, trade-offs, and lessons along the way. You can watch both conversations now on my YouTube channel today.
GPT-5 is here. Finally, does it live up to the hype? That's coming up on a special Big Technology Podcast Friday edition right after this. Welcome to Big Technology Podcast Friday edition where we break down the news in our traditional cool-headed and nuanced format. You know what we're going to be talking about today because GPT-5 has finally been released by OpenAI.
Of course, we had OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap on the show just a few hours ago, so that episode will be the most recent one in your podcast feed where you're going to get the official line from OpenAI and a a bunch of really interesting insights about what it took to train this model and where the AI field is going. But today, as we always do on Friday, Ronjan Roy and I will break down exactly what the situation is with this new model and whether this is actually something that lives up to the hype that people have been talking about. No overreactions. We're going to do it with the proper context and with that I want to welcome Ronjan back.
