AI promises speed. Nobody asks: faster toward what? This episode is for leaders who keep buying tools to fix problems that were never technology problems.
Asim Kumar explains why artificial intelligence is incomplete without real intelligence, how the silver bullet myth wastes millions, and what the tripod of people, process, and technology actually requires.
About the Guest:
Asim Kumar is a solution architect with 30+ years bridging technical systems and human psychology, and founder of Avigna. He is the author of UNBLOCKED: The Power of Real Intelligence in the Era of AI.
Key Takeaways:
- AI gives speed. Real intelligence gives direction: the ability to pause, empathize, and manage behavioural risk.
- Balance the tripod first. New tech bolted onto a broken process and an exhausted team tips the whole thing over.
- Chaos plus new tools equals chaos at the speed of light. Assess and design before you deliver.
- Run the E.A.S.I.E.R. check: elasticity, agility, security by design, intelligence, economics, risk reduction.
- Ego keeps anxiety hidden. The first shift is a leader admitting the decision was wrong.
