AI didn't just evolve. It accelerated faster than most businesses could adapt. In just the last year, we've gone from curiosity… to experimentation… to the start of company adoption. And now? Leaders are facing a new problem: AI is making them less trusted. Season 3 of The AI CEO Podcast begins here—with Allison Shapira, founder and CEO of Global Public Speaking, Harvard lecturer, keynote speaker, and bestselling author of AI for the Authentic Leader. A former opera singer turned global communication expert, Allison has coached Fortune 500 executives, world leaders, and high-growth companies on how to communicate with clarity, conviction, and authenticity. But in this new era of AI adoption, even the best leaders are getting it wrong. In this conversation, we explore: -Why AI adoption is quietly eroding trust inside organizations -What happens when leaders delegate communication instead of owning it -How over-reliance on AI makes executives sound less genuine, confident, and knowledgeable -The real shift from tools → to people, process, and platform transformation -How to use AI to amplify your voice instead of replacing it -Why authenticity may become the ultimate competitive advantage in the AI era -And a special surprise moment that AI will never take away  Drop your biggest takeaway in the comments. And if this changed how you think about AI in your business, share it with a leader who needs to hear it. If you want to go deeper on this… We're hosting AI BusinessCon the world's first business rewiring conference of the AI era. This is where we move beyond conversation and into how to actually rethink, reimagine, and rewire your business across people, process, and platforms.

Your competitor isn't experimenting with AI. They're rebuilding their company around it. That gap? That's where market leaders are being decided. In this episode of The AI CEO Podcast, host Seema Alexander sits down with Jason Michael Perry (CEO of Perry Labs, author of The AI Evolution) to break down AI in plain English — beyond ChatGPT — and explain what's coming next: agentic AI, RAG, conversational AI, personalization, and "vibe teams" that out-produce larger teams. They debate the hard truth: AI will eliminate jobs, but the bigger threat is this: "It's not AI that's going to put your company out of business. It's a company that natively uses AI." You'll also learn: Why AI adoption is mostly change management Why many "AI tools" are just thin wrappers (and what's actually worth using) How RAG reduces hallucinations by grounding AI in real data Why 95% of AI projects fail (and what to do instead) A simple CEO roadmap: roll out AI → train teams → connect to data → prepare for agents If you're a founder, executive, or operator trying to future-proof your company, this is your playbook for the messy middle.
