Episode Title: 🇺🇞Symbiotic Intelligence🇺🇞

We have a timely and thought-provoking discussion for you today on Heads Talk®. There’s been a lot of noise lately, headlines, commentary and opinion pieces; all circling the question: 𝔞𝕣𝕖 𝕚𝕖 𝕙𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕥𝕠𝕚𝕒𝕣𝕕𝕀 𝕒𝕟 𝔞𝕀 𝕓𝕊𝕓𝕓𝕝𝕖 𝕓𝕊𝕣𝕀𝕥? 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 world’s 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 “bubble” narrative overblown, or are we edging toward a market correction? And, of course, I couldn’t resist throwing in a few philosophical questions about humanity’s 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.
