For twenty years I've walked into organisation after organisation and said the same things: nobody can find the right document, nobody knows which version is current, nobody actually owns half the content in the business. People nodded politely. Then went back to what they were doing.

Then AI arrived — and suddenly, when Copilot confidently answers a question using the wrong policy, that mess isn't invisible anymore. It's sitting in a chat window in front of your staff and your customers.

In this episode I get into:

• Why AI doesn't fix messy information — it exposes it
• Will AI take your job? No — but it will change it. Here's what that actually means
• Why "using AI well" is about to become a baseline skill, like email
• Why two organisations can buy the exact same AI tool and get completely different results
• The roles I think are emerging as this decades-old problem finally becomes a boardroom issue

This isn't really a podcast about SharePoint, or even about AI. It's about what happens when a problem we've quietly ignored for 25 years suddenly becomes the thing that decides who wins.
