Episode 10 - How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI

Apr 22, 2026

Are we still in the first chapter of AI, and mistaking it for the whole story? In this episode of The Intelligent Enterprise, host Tom Stoneman zooms out from the headlines to explore where we really are in the AI journey.

He’s joined by journalist and independent analyst Joe McKendrick, who has spent decades documenting how emerging technologies reshape business and society. As co-chair of the AI Summit in New York and a senior contributor to Forbes and ZDNet, Joe brings the perspective of someone who understands how these stories unfold over time.

Together, they challenge today’s anxiety around AI, arguing that we’re still in an early phase of transformation. They explore why focusing on cost-cutting misses the bigger opportunity, how AI can unlock creativity and new ways of working, and why the most important chapters are still ahead. Plus, Joe shares how cycling helps him clear his mind and gain a fresh perspective amidst the noise.
