Techzine TV podcast
In the Techzine TV podcast we analyze B2B IT solutions, strategies, and trends. IT companies are happy to invite us to talk about what they are working on and what they are going to bring to market. We visit them all around the world, and in some cases, they visit us in our office.
We have a good understanding of how technologies work, or how they should work. We also hear a lot from the market about what companies need or where things go wrong. This gives us the ability to have really in-depth conversations on technology, strategies, and products, but we always try to keep it practical and easy to understand.
We explain innovations, interpret new IT concepts, and use practical examples to make complex technology understandable for everyone. Where necessary, we bring in experts to clarify matters further. The goal is to help IT professionals, decision makers, and other listeners better understand IT developments, but also to help them in their search for new solutions for their business and not get stuck on buzzwords and one-liners.
The Techzine TV podcast is an evolution of the previous Techzine Talks on Tour series. We still bring a lot of conversations and interviews from events to this series. We record so many video interviews nowadays, so we can select the best ones for this podcast series.
The topics still vary greatly, as Coen and Sander attend a total of 50 to 60 events each year, ranging from open-source events like KubeCon to events hosted by Cisco, IBM, Salesforce and ServiceNow, to name only a few. With a lot of experience in many walks of IT life, Coen and Sander always manage to produce an engaging, in-depth discussion on general trends, but also on technology itself.
So follow the Techzine TV podcast and stay in the know. We might just tell you a thing or two you didn't know yet, but which might be very important for your next project or for your organization in general. Stay tuned and follow Techzine TV.

Open source is at the heart of AI innovation
We recently attended the Ubuntu Summit, where Canonical showcased all of the innovation and other developments around Ubuntu. Open source in general and Ubuntu in particular have played and continue to play a vital role in the development of AI and ML. Learn all about this relationship in the latest episode of Techzine Talks on Tour.
We sit down during the Ubuntu Summit with Andreea Munteanu, AI/ML & MLOps Product Manager at Canonical. She has a data science background, which gives her a different perspective on AI than more technology oriented people. During her time as a data scientist, she "spent more time on tinkering with the tooling rather than building models". That's not what you want as a data scientist, but it is something that needs to be solved at least partly at the product level. That's why she got into product marketing at Canonical.
With this background and objective in mind, we have a very broad ranging conversation with Munteanu. Obviously, part of it is on Canonical's role in all of this, its 20-year history and its relevance for AI and ML development. Ubuntu plays a foundational role in various environments (desktop, server, edge), which makes its impact on AI (and the other way around) quite significant.
Besides diving into Ubuntu's role in the AI discussion, both in the past, present and the future, we also talk about the importance of optimizing existing infrastructure for AI projects. Especially MLOps has Munteanu's full attention. In addition, we discuss the security concerns associated with AI and data management, and the future of the relationship between AI and open source.
In our opinion, the conversation we had with Munteanu reflects the comprehensive discussion around AI, ML in general, with a specific focus on the role of open source, Ubuntu and Canonical in these fields. We hope you agree. Listen to the new episode of Techzine Talks on Tour now!
