Summary
This is a conversation about AI with Jason Tsai, an AI strategist who’s been working at the intersection of tech and people for years. We talk honestly about what AI is (and isn’t), how to use it properly, what might happen in future and how to stand out in a fast-changing world.
Rather than getting lost in the hype or fear, we look at where creativity, emotional intelligence, and deeper self-awareness still matter — maybe more than ever.
Jason Tsai leads the AI Implementation practice at Pivotal, where he helps companies, organisations and teams augment their capabilities through the effective use of AI.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, I wanted to record a conversation and an episode about AI. AI has exploded onto the scene |
| 0:09.7 | and changed the way we live over the last few years and it promises to have a huge impact |
| 0:16.0 | going forwards. Now, in my own life, one area I really noticed this is, for example, in the emails I get from |
| 0:25.0 | people pitching guests to come on my podcast. And 90% of those emails tend to be written by AI, |
| 0:32.3 | which I find to be hugely off-putting. So I wanted to speak to a friend of mine called Jason |
| 0:37.4 | Sy, who is the most |
| 0:39.2 | clued up person I know when it comes to AI. He leads AI implementation practices at a company |
| 0:46.2 | I'm very close to. They're called Pivotal. And this is very much in Jason's wheelhouse. I've had |
| 0:52.7 | such fascinating conversations with him before about this topic. And so I want to do pick Jason's wheelhouse. I've had such fascinating conversations with him before about this |
| 0:55.2 | topic. And so I want to do pick Jason's brains and ask some questions about AI, the state of |
| 1:01.4 | playing out and potentially where it's going and how we can best use it to use it skillfully, |
| 1:08.4 | really. So here is my conversation with Jason and I want to have Jason come back |
| 1:13.7 | to talk about AI in future. So please do have a listen and have a think about any questions you |
| 1:18.7 | would like to ask Jason about where it's headed, about how to use it properly, anything at all |
| 1:25.4 | to do with AI. I'm really interested in your questions because |
| 1:28.4 | this isn't my area of expertise, but it certainly is his. And so I really want your input to try and |
| 1:34.4 | make the best of the conversations I plan to have with Jason about AI in future. But for now, here is |
| 1:40.0 | my first conversation with Jason's Sye. Hope you enjoy. Jason, great to see you. Thanks for coming |
| 1:48.5 | on the podcast. How are you? I'm excellent, Simon. How are you? I'm good. Delighted to have you on. You and I met |
| 1:56.0 | when I was doing a talk for the people you work with and rich variety of people, in fact. That was a great |
| 2:03.2 | fun talk. And I really appreciated your view of reality, your view of life, and your take on |
| 2:11.3 | AI. I think you're the most AI clued up person I know. That was a really great night in terms of just the diversity of people |
