AI isn't a $40-a-seat chat tool. It's a new enterprise platform that rewires how the whole company works — and boards are demanding it faster than most organizations can safely govern it.

A founder who's ridden every major wave from client-server to cloud explains why AI is the engine and your proprietary data is the fuel, why the old security model of locking doors on data collapses once AI is inside the house, and why any AI strategy is really a data strategy in disguise.

We discussed:

◼ Why AI is a top-down replatforming wave, unlike the bottom-up cloud shift

◼ Why agentic AI — probabilistic and tool-calling — breaks traditional trust models

◼ How federated AI runs models on your data without ever moving it

◼ Why pilots must be run at petabyte scale on production data or they'll fail

◼ How to lead a startup competing against giants: focus on the North Star
