AI isn’t coming. It’s already here, and it’s time leaders treated it that way.

In this episode, Denis Gianoutsos tackles a pressing and provocative question: Who owns AI in your organization?

Denis makes it clear. AI is no longer just an IT initiative or tech experiment. It’s a leadership issue. And passing it around like a hot potato won’t cut it anymore.

He breaks down the real risks of fragmented ownership and challenges boards, CEOs, and executive teams to take accountability for AI’s strategic role across every part of the business. From ethics and risk to culture, performance, and customer experience, AI deserves a seat at the leadership table.

If your team is overwhelmed by the speed of change or stuck waiting for someone else to figure it out, this episode is the wake-up call you need.

Tune in now.
