In this episode of The Corner Office, John Jack sits down with Johan Steyn-AI strategist, author, and one of Africa’s most influential tech voices-to unpack what most companies get wrong about artificial intelligence. From overestimating its power to ignoring the people it affects, Johan explains why good AI starts with better business thinking.
We explore how automation differs from AI, the risks of biased data, how leadership disconnects derail innovation, and why “common sense” may be your most underused tool in digital transformation.
We dive into:
• Why your AI strategy should start with your people
• The real difference between automation and intelligence
• How leadership bias gets embedded into AI systems
• What most companies miss when implementing AI tools
• And why human-centred design must lead the way
