AI isn’t just the future, it’s already here. But are businesses truly prepared to move beyond the hype and harness its full potential?

In this episode of 2 Cyber Chicks, we sit down with Santosh Kaveti, technologist, entrepreneur, investor, and CEO of ProArk. With 18+ years of experience driving innovation across 23 countries, Santosh brings unmatched insight into how AI is reshaping industries from Energy and Healthcare to Life Sciences and Manufacturing.

We dive into:

🚀 Why most companies fail at moving from AI strategy to real-world execution
⚠️ The hidden AI risks leaders overlook—deepfakes, data leaks, compliance traps, and more
🧩 How to prioritize AI initiatives that align with business goals (and avoid “AI for AI’s sake”)
👩‍💻 Building and retaining world-class AI talent in a competitive market
🔑 Why a foundation of security by design is essential for long-term AI resilience

Beyond tech, Santosh shares his passion for mentoring startups, uplifting underprivileged communities, and keeping a human-centered focus in the AI revolution. His energy, wisdom, and signature “phases” will leave you inspired and ready to think differently about AI.
