InformationWeek Podcast: Transformation Plans in the New AI Era

While the world waits for artificial general intelligence to awaken and take over, internal and external AI resources continue to be leveraged for transformations. Combined with the intense competition for talent to develop future iterations of AI, the potential scale of transformation powered by the technology could be ubiquitous.

Businesses have been through transformative times, from the Industrial Revolution to the dawn of the Digital Age. As a flurry of AI agents and tools emerges, what should CIOs look for in this next period of transformation? How does this era of change differ from cloud transformation?

Saket Srivastava, CIO of Asana, and Pierre DeBois, founder and CEO of Zimana, spoke to these and more questions in the latest InformationWeek podcast. This includes concerns and opportunities that tech leadership and operations see with the technology. How should viable plans be formed that allow for exploration of new tech, while safeguarding resources and the business?

Then they tackled the tabletop exercises, doing their best to steer the fictional company Questionable Ideas ‘R’ Us on a reasonable path for AI transformation.
