Episode 1 - Preparing the workforce for AI | The Intelligent Enterprise
In our first podcast episode of The Intelligent Enterprise, Ricardo Costa, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Purolator, gives us his views on how to prepare the workforce for AI. In his role as a technology "translator" connecting business strategies with tech implementations, Ricardo highlighted the importance of translating complex tech concepts into simple, understandable stories and addressing leadership challenges in preparing the workforce for AI, including upskilling and ethical considerations.
Ricardo sees a significant tension between the high expectations for AI's immediate impact and the current reality of its outcomes. In addition, he discusses how AI is transforming industries and creating new roles while also causing a skills gap due to the rapid pace of change.
We had time to peek into how Ricardo unwinds with his personal hobby of playing the guitar and working with AI created “music-minus-one” backing tracks. You’ll get to hear an amazing blues track throughout this episode.
