In this week's AIX Factor podcast we were joined by Faisal Hoque, an award-winning entrepreneur, world-renowned technologist, and tech executive with over three decades of experience working with leadership at companies such as PepsiCo, MasterCard, IBM, Home Depot, and at the US Department of Defense. Faisal is a three-time winner of the Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ and Fast 500™ award…and is the author of the forthcoming book, Transcend: Unlocking Humanity in the Age of AI. We discuss:
- His inspiring “journey of gratitude” - arriving here at the age of 19 to study electrical engineering and the various “no's” he encountered - and rose above - along the way.
- His forthcoming book (his 10th!) on how to use Al to unlock humanity's full potential while protecting what is most precious about the human experience - arguably the biggest challenge AI poses, which goes to the heart of what AIX is all about.
- What makes him optimistic that AI will be a force for good.
- Managing “AI personas” in a way that manages the downside risks - how should organizations prepare for this shift?
- Why “persona management” will become a critical skill in 2025.
- "What's in Your Bag" - a new AIX segment wherein Faisal discusses his go-to AI tools.
Faisal has an amazing personal story to tell, and insights to share from his experiences with some of the largest and most complex organizations on earth.
