Why do the smartest people in the room never get hired — and what does AI have to do with it?

In this episode of Between Data and Risk, Dr. Marian Siwiak sits down with Paul Forrest — investor, CAIO, board advisor, and TEDx speaker — to explore how creativity, chaos, and AI collide in the boardroom.

We talk about:

– Why “Mad Mavericks” are critical for innovation (and how to spot the real ones)

– How boards should rethink AI — not as magic, but as infrastructure

– What AGI could actually mean for business strategy

– And how to balance creativity with governance, without crushing either
