Listen Later

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Kelvin Wiggins, the founder of AI Connections for Business. Kelvin, with over 25 years of experience in automation and IT, discusses the monumental shift AI represents for the business world, describing it as the largest technological transition we will ever see. He explains how his company helps a diverse range of clients—from real estate and fintech to mental health and security—by auditing their workflows and implementing "digital assistants." These AI agents act as superhuman team members, taking over repetitive tasks to free up human employees for more impactful, client-facing work. Kelvin emphasizes that AI is widely misunderstood; its primary role is not to replace people, but to augment human potential and create unprecedented efficiency.

Kelvin delves into the critical need for education and cultural change within organizations to successfully adopt AI. He warns that businesses clinging to legacy systems and resisting this shift risk becoming obsolete, much like those that couldn't adapt during the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking ahead, he shares his vision for an AI-integrated future where digital workforces are equipped with an emotional layer, making them nearly indistinguishable from human colleagues. For Kelvin, the mission is clear: to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI innovation and practical, impactful business implementation, ensuring his clients not only survive but thrive in the new technological era.
