AI Transformation

I joined the adorsys Tapas & Pretzels podcast for a conversation with co-hosts Tim and David, fellow Chief AI Officer, about the question every leader is now asking: how do you move AI from isolated experiments to a company-wide capability? We talked about token economics, what the Chief AI Officer role actually demands, why capability beats tools, the trust gap that governance exists to close, and why most companies are speeding up broken processes instead of rethinking them.

Although AI has moved fast, many organisations haven’t. Most leaders we speak to aren’t short on ideas, proofs of concept, or vendor demos. The challenge is turning AI into something repeatable, a capability you can trust, scale, and steer without creating new risks or bottlenecks.

AI is everywhere, but clarity, strategy, and real impact are often left by the wayside. We live in the era of what Romano Roth has dubbed ‘AI idiots’, an era of flashy demos rather than genuine long-term value. But a smarter way forward is possible.
