AI may be everywhere, but getting it into production is still painfully hard. In this episode of Innovation Unplugged, Jim talks with Darren Kimura, CEO of AI Squared, about why enterprises struggle to turn AI investments into real results - and what it takes to change that.

Darren reveals the surprising government origins of AI Squared, the real reasons most AI POCs stall, and how bringing intelligence into existing enterprise applications (instead of forcing teams to rebuild workflows) is accelerating adoption.

They dig into real-world examples, enterprise deployment timelines, and why AI is on track to reshape-not just enhance-core enterprise systems like CRM, ERP, and HRIS.

For leaders serious about driving ROI from AI, this conversation offers clarity in a very noisy market.
