Kevin shares practical insights from working directly with businesses to help them understand where AI actually adds value, and where it’s just noise. We explore how leaders can identify real problems worth solving with AI, the right questions to ask before investing in any AI tool, and how to separate genuine solutions from expensive distractions. The conversation also dives into common misconceptions about AI, the risks businesses need to be aware of, and how to introduce AI into teams in a way that builds confidence rather than fear.
