Finance Connect Podcast: Richard Huston

Richard Huston joins host, Richard O’Donohue, to cut through common misconceptions around AI, including concerns about data privacy, how enterprise AI models actually work and why “context engineering” is becoming more important than prompt engineering.

The discussion also dives into the growing role of agentic AI tools in everyday business operations, from managing workflows and internal knowledge to improving operational efficiency. Huston explains why the biggest opportunities lie not in building new AI models, but in applying existing technologies effectively across structured and unstructured business data.

The episode further explores AI’s potential impact on software platforms, workforce transformation and future business growth, offering a balanced perspective on how organizations can use AI to scale intelligently rather than simply reduce headcount.
