What do young people really want to know about data centres?In this special Kids Ask edition of Humans in AI, we hand the questions over to the next generation.Recorded for National Data Centre Day, this episode takes a fresh look at the world of data centres and AI infrastructure, answering questions about what happens inside them, why we need them, how they are cooled, what they sound like and what they actually look like.We also talk about the environmental challenges facing the industry and the huge range of careers available within data centres, from engineering and technical roles to marketing, finance, HR, community and environmental positions.It’s an honest, accessible conversation about data centres, AI infrastructure, sustainability, technology and the people needed to build the industry of the future.And perhaps the biggest question of all: could the next generation help solve some of the challenges facing data centres today?👉 Follow asobbi on LinkedIn HERE🎙️ Follow Humans in AI on Spotify for more conversations with the people building and shaping AI Infrastructure.

In this episode of Humans in AI, Nick sits down with James Griffin, former CEO of Cyber Sentriq and current Board Advisor, to discuss how AI is reshaping cybersecurity, software development, and business operations.Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in technology, James shares his journey from Mac technician to CEO, the creation of Cyber Sentriq through the merger of Redstor and TitanHQ, and the opportunities and risks that AI is creating for businesses today.The conversation explores the growing role of AI in cybersecurity, why governance matters more than ever, how organisations can adopt AI responsibly, and why James believes AI is creating opportunities rather than eliminating them.

In this episode of Humans in AI, we’re joined by Michael Chanter, CEO and co-founder of 1KE, to explore how agentic AI is transforming technical sales.We dive into how businesses can scale their pipeline without scaling headcount, turning weeks of complex solutioning into hours, and enabling teams to close significantly more deals without additional resources.Michael shares how AI can act as an extension of your sales team, ingesting signals from emails, meetings, and CRMs to create a unified view of every opportunity, unlocking faster, more accurate decision-making.We also cover the biggest bottlenecks in technical sales, why AI is a productivity multiplier rather than a cost-cutting tool, and how organisations can start integrating AI into their workflows today.This episode is ideal for founders, sales leaders, and operators looking to drive growth, improve efficiency, and stay competitive in an AI-driven world.
