    The second episode of The Optimists welcomes an AI optimist: the Global Lead AI at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Dr. Andrej Levin.

    Andrej is also Managing Director and Partner at BCG’s Hamburg office, and he shares how his team builds an internal AI lab, trains so-called “Black Belts” in AI and works on turning AI into a revenue stream for its clients. Andrej shares how he automates some of his own workflows, and why he is optimistic about AI taking over the “ugliest four hours of the day” for many knowledge workers. It’s not too late for Europe, he concludes, to become an AI superpower.
