The Digital Executive

In this episode of The Digital Executive Podcast, Brian Thomas sits down with David Fattal, co-founder and CTO of Leia, Inc., to explore the future of immersive technology and spatial AI. With a background in quantum computing and nano-photonics, David shares how his early research led to the breakthrough invention of light field display technology—powering today’s glasses-free 3D experiences.

David explains how Leia’s platform bridges the gap between 2D content and immersive 3D by using AI to reconstruct depth in real time, enabling everything from photos to videos to become interactive, lifelike experiences. He also discusses the technical challenges of scaling this technology—solving data limitations, increasing processing speed, and making it accessible for developers and everyday users.

Looking ahead, David paints a compelling vision of a world where digital and physical realities merge seamlessly. From healthcare and enterprise applications to gaming and social media, spatial computing is set to redefine how we interact with content—eventually becoming as natural and ubiquitous as touchscreens today.

In this episode of The Digital Executive Podcast, Brian Thomas sits down with Matthew Kael Swanson, a longtime AI entrepreneur and founder of StaffAI, to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping business models and the modern workforce.
Matthew explains the shift from traditional subscription pricing to outcome-based models, where AI is paid based on results—like revenue generated—rather than usage. He shares real-world examples of AI employees taking over repetitive desktop tasks while enabling human workers to move into higher-value, more meaningful roles.
The conversation also tackles growing concerns around data security, with Matthew առաջարկing a novel approach: treating AI like a contractor, complete with controlled access and clear ownership structures. Finally, he dives into the concept of “flow,” describing how AI can free humans from rigid, repetitive work and allow them to focus on creativity, collaboration, and real-world problem-solving.
This episode offers a forward-looking perspective on how AI can drive productivity while creating more fulfilling work for people.

In this episode of The Digital Executive Podcast, Brian Thomas speaks with Nadav Cornberg, CEO and co-founder of Eve Security, about the rising need for governance in the age of autonomous AI agents. Nadav shares how his early work in mobile security shaped his perspective on managing “digital strangers” inside enterprise systems.
He explains why traditional security models fall short as AI agents gain access to critical business platforms—and why real-time governance, not just detection, is essential to prevent costly failures. Nadav introduces the concept of “agent-in-the-loop” oversight, a scalable approach that monitors and guides AI behavior while reserving humans for high-risk decisions.
Looking ahead, he outlines how frameworks, permissions, and approval systems will evolve to ensure AI operates safely at scale. This conversation highlights the urgent need for proactive controls, transparency, and new standards to build trust in autonomous systems powering the future of business.
