AI is only as good as the foundation it's built on, and today’s guest, Collin Graves, knows exactly how to lay that groundwork.

As the founder of North Labs, he’s been at the forefront of data, cloud, and AI transformation for nearly two decades. In this episode, Collin shares his journey from the US Air Force to becoming one of the first certified AWS experts and how that led him to the AI revolution.

We explore why companies often rush into AI without a solid data strategy, the dangers of fragmented AI adoption, and the crucial role of large language models in modern business.

We also dive into how AI is transforming manufacturing and higher education, how businesses can avoid costly mistakes when implementing AI, and why owning your own data model is essential in today’s landscape. Plus, Collin gives a glimpse into his own AI-driven smart home project and shares his thoughts on whether we’re heading toward a real-life Terminator scenario.
