In the latest Built for Trust episode, I spoke with David Reilly of World Wide Technology about how he approaches technology decisions in the current AI environment.

Umm, I mean, it was the very, very end of 2022 yeah that ChatGPT gained global recognition when open I released the model. And at that time, coincidentally, I was at a bunch of VC events that were attended by enterprise CIOs, and every single enterprise CIO was in the same spot. Yeah. This wasn’t even on my radar until today. And today, my CEO has asked me, what are we doing? Yeah. And I haven’t got an answer to that question.

All of your stakeholders are asking you at the same time as you’re trying at the back end of 2022 to figure out how you were going to adopt it.
