Ep 6: AI may soon be the hardest competitor in decision making | Ken Lovell (PGA TOUR)

When you’re running AI and real-time data for the PGA TOUR, there’s no such thing as downtime, delay, or second chances.In this episode of Digital Storm Weekly, we sat down with Ken Lovell, SVP of Golf Technologies at the PGA TOUR—the person behind systems that operate live, at scale, and under constant global visibility.This isn’t theory. This is how AI and data actually perform when everything is on the line.A few powerful takeaways from Ken:• Real-time data changes everything — when everyone can see everything, there’s no time to recover from mistakes • AI delivers strongest ROI in coding, enterprise workflows, and scalable content—not in overhyped areas like chatbots • “Data-driven” means nothing without action — dashboards without decisions are just noise • The biggest bottleneck in AI adoption isn’t tech — it’s people, expectations, and trust • Perfect systems don’t exist — resilience, recovery, and iteration matter more than perfection • And one bold truth: if you wait until it’s ready, you’ll never shipWhat makes Ken stand out?He’s not talking about AI in controlled environments—he’s building and running it where every decision is instant, visible, and high-stakes.If you're a CEO, CIO, or CTO navigating AI, data, and digital transformation—this is how it looks at the highest level.🎧 Listen now and learn how leaders like Ken actually execute—----🎧 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲🔗 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC56OPvjqyxXfwj3lfNHNG0Q🔗 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a8ccad06-05d4-45e9-9f69-a4b6eacd77c7/the-digital-storm-weekly-podcast🔗 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-digital-storm-weekly-podcast/id1867227116🔗 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/779CC9Nn8coXth0tNjlt2d🔗 RSS: https://rss.com/podcasts/the-digital-storm-weekly-podcast/----👉 Love my content?Dr Joerg Storm: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joergstorm/Lucas Storm: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucas-storm/Paul Storm: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-storm/👉 Found this helpful?
