The episode looks at who really owns AI and Copilot delivery inside modern enterprises as adoption accelerates across Fortune 500 companies.
We unpack the tension between business and IT ownership, why AI cannot be rolled out like past technologies, and why cross-functional governance is no longer optional.
The conversation also reframes the role of AI champions. Not as pure technologists, but as change leaders, translators, and trust builders who navigate hype, fear, experimentation, and the hard work of turning AI into real business value.
