John Xavier, the tech editor at The Hindu, hosts The Interface, a podcast that sits at the crossroads where emerging technologies meet daily life and global business. Rather than just reporting on the latest gadgets or software updates, the conversations here dig into the tangible effects of AI, automation, and robotics-how these forces are actively reshaping entire industries and, by extension, the choices we all face. Each episode is built on the premise that understanding the trajectory of tech is less about predicting the future and more about developing a flexible, informed mindset for the changes already underway. You’ll hear thoughtful analysis on the implications behind the headlines, exploring not just what is happening, but why it matters for policy, work, and society. This isn't a series of breathless hype cycles; it's a grounded guide from a seasoned editor, offering clarity on a dynamic landscape that often feels overwhelming. Tune in for a consistently insightful perspective that helps make sense of the rapid evolution happening just beyond the screen.
