In this Episode of the AIAW Podcast, we are joined by Dr. Catherine Mulligan, founder, technology strategist, and author of the new book Designing Resilient Digital Systems, for a thought-provoking conversation on the future of digital sustainability.
Known for her work at the intersection of AI, blockchain, 5G, IoT, and public policy, Catherine is exploring why traditional digital transformation models are failing to address long-term environmental and societal challenges. We discussed about how organizations can move beyond efficiency-driven technology strategies toward resilient digital systems capable of withstanding climate shocks, geopolitical disruption, and rapid technological change. From the energy footprint of large AI models to Europe’s race for digital sovereignty, and from agentic AI in governance to the role of human judgment in an algorithmic world, this episode examining how technology leaders can design digital infrastructure that truly serves both people and the planet.
