Bonus Short: Touching the AI Elephant w/ Atif Khan, Chief AI Officer @ Messagepoint
AI often feels different depending on where you stand.
For Atif Khan, it’s like the story of the blind men and the elephant, except this time the animal might be a dinosaur. The scale of AI means each person’s experience is partial, and the only way to make sense of it is to keep learning, testing, and coming back to see more of the whole.
In this bonus episode, Daniel and Atif talk about why the journey with AI has to be hands-on, how quickly tools like ChatGPT have shifted from curiosity to “cognitive companion,” and why there’s never a wrong time to start engaging with it. They reflect on personal adoption journeys, the pace of change, and the need to demystify AI beyond the extremes of fear and hype.

This clip is just a glimpse of Atif’s perspective. In the full episode, he shares what it means to make a company truly AI first, how to spot real use cases, and why governance has to be practical.
