Foundations, investment trends, and how CXOs can lead in the age of AI

“AI, Business Insights, and Conferences” on the Ecosystems podcast

How do you have AI conversations with CTOs, CIOs, CDOs, and others in technical or business leadership roles? What do I need to be thinking about for my organization, particularly while “every man and his dog” are publishing their own AI content? It’s overwhelming right now.

Pressing on without Ana, Chris, and Will this week, Mark and Andrew talk upcoming Microsoft conferences, Chris’s latest tattoo, feelings on audio book style white papers read in the voice of C3PO, and—most importantly—how CXOs, business leaders, and other decision makers can learn enough to speak and lead intelligently in the increasingly complex domain of artificial intelligence. They discuss the challenges of having AI conversations with CTOs and CIOs and the need for a learning path, grounding in technical fundamentals, and the sometimes-emotional journey that many often take as they transition from “hands on keyboard” to leadership roles in the rapidly changing world of AI. They also share their thoughts on preparing for the unknown and finding business knowledge in the context of AI, including a recent article that considered global investment trends and what current CapEx and OpEx trendlines indicate about the state of widespread AI adoption. The episode concludes with a call for feedback from the audience.
