This opening episode introduces leaders to the fundamentals of modern AI, without hype or technical overload. You’ll discover why AI behaves so differently from traditional software, how machine learning powers today’s systems, and the three forms of AI shaping work right now: predictive, generative and agentic AI. The episode also explains what “narrow AI” really means, how AI can see, hear and read through different modalities, and, most importantly, why AI doesn’t truly think, but predicts.
Designed for busy leaders, this episode builds the intuitive understanding you need to apply AI responsibly, recognise its limits, and pair it effectively with human judgement.
Part one: What is AI, and how does it think?
Watch part two: 'What does AI need from us?' where we’ll be exploring how to build an AI model and what AI needs to work safely and effectively in your organisation.
