We envision more software designed for human needs and business value. We're optimistic about AI, cloud, and mobile, but realistic about the challenges.
If you sit in the C-suite or lead defensive security teams within a regulated sector, you are probably suffering from "next-gen" fatigue. Agentic AI deployments, evolving regulatory frameworks like DORA, and confusing vendor “next big thing” hype… the last thing you want to hear about is another paradigm-shifting technology. But while quantum computing still feels like the domain of experimental physics labs, its shadow is real for cybersecurity today.

Our podcast explores how technology can be designed with empathy and purpose to meet real human needs across healthcare, public services, finance, and transport.
The EU AI Act splits AI systems into four risk levels, based on whether AI actually makes a consequential decision about a person. Transparency rules start 2 August 2026. Rules for high-risk systems are delayed until December 2027/August 2028. Irish and UK teams should also spell out in contracts who's responsible — because EU rules apply as soon as your output reaches the EU market.

Why migrations fail: Let’s start with learning from failure. The technology sector is famous for its extremes: at one end there is true and proven transformation, innovation and reinvention of entire industries. At the other end, drastic overruns, diabolical lack of progress against investment, and failed technology migrations.

Current AI guardrails are built on an outdated and broken threat model. As AI agents evolve from passive tools into autonomous systems capable of deceptive behavior, security architecture must shift from simple input/output filtering to rigorous containment.

Agentic software goes beyond chatbots: it acts, decides, and logs every step within compliance guardrails; and for regulated industries, partnering with an experienced, accredited firm like Marino Software is the fastest and safest way to get it into production.

When Monzo flicked the switch on its Irish current accounts on 14 April, the headlines wrote themselves. A hundred thousand people on a waitlist before the doors even opened. A €71 million capital injection into the Dublin operation. A first-mover digital banking licence from the Central Bank of Ireland. A campaign voiced by Siobhán McSweeney that gently mocks the thirty-year wait for banking that works. And, depending on who you read, either the long-overdue arrival of competition or yet another challenger pitching up to a market already crowded by Revolut, N26 and the three pillar banks.

Public sector websites and applications are critical service delivery infrastructure, not brochures. Whether it's a citizen checking their rights and entitlements, a commuter planning a journey, or a business looking up licensing requirements, the expectation is the same: the site works, every time, immediately. That expectation has made high-availability Drupal one of the more important - and underappreciated - conversations in public sector digital right now.

Cory Doctorow gave us "enshittification" — the slow, deliberate degradation of software for profit. This post is about the opposite. How AI is shifting incentives, restoring makers to their highest purpose, and giving us a genuine shot at building software that actually serves the people using it.

Agentic AI arrived at HIMSS 2026 in force, but the validation frameworks haven't kept pace. Marino's Cara Ludlow on how speed of deployment can be matched by the rigour of validation through critical architectural choices.

A new paper from OpenAI and Georgia Tech proves what regulated industries need to hear: hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not an engineering failure waiting to be fixed. Here's what that means for how you build.
