Interview excerpts:

AI is changing the world - are you and your business on top of it?

” You've got to ask yourself three questions: What's my appetite? What's my ambition? What are my capabilities? Am I using those to defend, extend, or upend? Am I working in today and tomorrow, and how am I breaking those down? And how am I using AI, is it internal, external, game-changing or everyday? It depends where you are and what business, and I don't think there's one skin for everybody. You've got to decide where you're at, and where's the maturity of your industry. We're at a time of inflection, in many ways. It's a big time.”

Neuroscience can teach us so much about awareness, acceptance and advancement.

” How do I change my awareness of pace? Because we know this, that you cannot solve a problem from the same awareness that created it. So if you don't have an ability, a toolset, a program, a habit, whatever it is... to change your awareness of pace, you're stuck. And if you're stuck, the world's becoming a horrible place because AI is replacing your intelligence, the world's getting harder in many ways if you're not elevating your consciousness. And so... the advancement of neuroscience becomes a very practical way for us to start to think about raising our consciousness.”

Let’s look to the future with optimism, hand-in-hand with AI.

”So the job is to change your awareness, see it as a friend, work with it as a optimistic partner. Let's use it together to try and fix a better world - otherwise it can be quite a scary thing. ”
