Ep 42 | AI as a New Class of Risk with Ojas Rege

AI as a New Class of Risk with Ojas Rege. AI is changing the way businesses operate. But without trust, governance, and accountability, progress stalls. Ojas Rege, SVP & GM, Privacy & Data Governance at OneTrust joins The AI Forecast to explore how organizations can balance innovation with responsibility. He and host Paul Muller unpack why AI represents a “new class of risk,” what it means to design privacy and governance into systems from the very beginning, and how curiosity and context fuel better decision-making with data.

Scaling Kafka Streams Applications: Strategies for High-Volume Traffic

As the adoption of real-time data processing accelerates, the ability to scale stream processing applications to handle high-volume traffic is paramount. Apache Kafka, the de facto standard for distributed event streaming, provides a powerful and scalable library in Kafka Streams for building such applications. Scaling a Kafka Streams application effectively involves a multi-faceted approach that encompasses architectural design, configuration tuning, and diligent monitoring.

Cross-Data-Center Apache Kafka Replication: Decision Framework & Readiness Playbook

Building distributed systems is a huge undertaking, but the complexity doesn’t end once your application or platform is “production ready.” Keeping these systems online and operational through cloud region outages, a network partition, or just scheduled maintenance is a constant challenge. The bottom line: you don’t want data pipelines for essential business services, customer-facing products, or enterprise data platforms to go dark.
