"How to not get electrocuted" is the advice Nikola Tesla once gave newspapers , back when electricity first reached London and New York and headlines warned it would kill you in the street. A century on, AI is no different.
In this episode of Finite by Clarity, Jodi Norris sits down with Paul Roehrig, chief strategy and marketing officer at Ascendion.
Together they challenge the fear-led narrative dominating so much AI messaging, both the version aimed at customers and the quieter version playing out inside marketing teams themselves.
Paul offers a sharper way to think about the anxiety. He also pushes back on the idea that AI is somehow limitless. Every disruptive technology, from electricity to the railways, eventually reaches an endpoint society decides on. AI will too.
Paul Roehrig is the founder and strategic leader who guided Ascendion's breakthrough as a powerhouse in AI-powered software engineering.
An award-winning, best-selling author of Monster, What To Do When Machines Do Everything and Code Halos, he previously led strategy and growth for Cognizant Digital Business & Technology, founded the Center for the Future of Work, and was a principal analyst at Forrester Research.
