Human in the Loop

This week we're talking to Tony Skeggs from Cornwall Insight. Tony has made his career undertaking technology transformations at media businesses from Emap to Euromoney to PEI Group... now he's at it again, but this time the whole world is transforming at the same time, driven by the emergence and adoption of AI. We talk about controlling adoption, protecting IP and how to set your business up to provide valuable context on top of an AI platform.

In this episode I talk to Kyle Kolich, VP of Product at Lightspeed commerce, about how he uses to AI to build tools to automate his job. We talk about build vs buy vs agents and what might be lost from the craft of Product Management in this AI era.

On this episode we talk to Kenta Tomura, a solution consultant who works for Stripe, about AI adoption in the enterprise. Kenta discusses the intangible skills and knowledge that a human practitioner develops over the course of a career that are hard to emulate with AI... which we loosely categorize as wisdom.

In this episode I'm joined by my friend Felix Danczak, author of Market-Led Growth: A New Operating System for Business in the Age of AI. This conversation goes pretty far and wide but Felix is a big and passionate advocate for AI and the advances it brings. We talk about the maturity of the technology, its limitations and what humans can (and need to) bring to the table, as AI gets smarter and smarter.

In this Episode we talk to Taha El Hajji, who runs a strategy consultancy called Pineseed.co and has worked as a Product Manager at many companies including Amazon Marketplace. Taha talks about how codification of tasks can unlock new opportunities for AI powered ventures and his experience of how artificial intelligence is maturing.
