Episode Title: ðºðžSymbiotic Intelligenceðºðž
We have a timely and thought-provoking discussion for you today on Heads Talk®. Thereâs been a lot of noise lately, headlines, commentary and opinion pieces; all circling the question: ðžð£ð ðšð ððððððð ð¥ð ðšðð£ðð€ ðð ðžð ððŠðððð ððŠð£ð€ð¥? Everyone seems to have a view, so I wanted to bring in someone with gravitas who truly sits at the intersection of experience and innovation. someone who has seen the cycles, the hype, and the real potential of this technology.
My guest today is Stan Sthanunathan, a seasoned insights and marketing leader with a truly global perspective, known for redefining how some of the worldâs most recognised brands understand consumers. With a career spanning The Coca-Cola Company and Unilever, where he served as Executive Vice President of Consumer & Market Insights until 2021 , Stan came out of retirement to found i-Genie.AI, an enterprise bringing real-time, AI-powered insights to business leaders worldwide.
In this episode, we looked at the current state of AI: is it reaching a saturation point, or are we only scratching the surface and at the beginning? Is this âbubbleâ narrative overblown, or are we edging toward a market correction? And, of course, I couldnât resist throwing in a few philosophical questions about humanityâs relationship with AI, our level of control, and the broader meaning of innovation itself. I loved this exchange; it was sharp, grounded, and occasionally existential. Pretty much how we like it here on Heads Talk®.
Expect a dynamic conversation that bridges business, technology, and the human condition.Â
Topics Covered:
âœïž AI hallucination and the fight for data truth
âœïž The human in the loop and the ethics of agentic intelligence
âœïž Turning AI insights into business action at speed and scale
âœïž Storytelling, intuition and the enduring human edge in a data-saturated world
âœïž Whispers of an AI bubble and the geopolitics of the USâChina AI race
âœïž Designing AI that teaches humans to think better, not less
âœïž Balancing algorithmic efficiency with democratic deliberation
âœïž The next decade of humanâmachine collaboration and causal AIÂ
âœïž The New Chief Meaning Officer
