"Just ask Dave send him a text"
This episode explores the mounting pressure on global CEOs to deliver real business value from AI—or risk being replaced.
🔑 Key Highlights:
- 74% of CEOs fear losing their jobs within two years if they can’t prove AI ROI.
- 70% are already seeing peers ousted for failing to execute effective AI strategies.
- Over 50% believe their competitors have more advanced AI systems in place.
- 94% think AI could outperform their board in decision-making, and 89% say AI could create better strategic plans than their executive teams.
⚠️ Critical Pitfalls:
- 87% fall into the “AI commodity trap,” wrongly assuming generic tools can compete with tailored solutions.
- 35% admit their own AI projects are mostly “AI theatre” — more about image than impact.
- 94% suspect employees are using generative AI like ChatGPT without authorization.
- 37% have paused AI projects due to regulatory uncertainty.
🚀 The Emerging “AI-Fluent CEO”:
The episode introduces the idea of a new executive archetype — the AI-fluent CEO — a leader who bridges tech and business, collaborates with AI as a strategic partner, and steers the company through a historic transformation.
🧠 Final Takeaway:
Readiness isn’t optional. CEOs must rapidly evolve — not just by adopting AI, but by reimagining leadership itself. Those who can’t adapt in the next two years may be left behind.
