AI is reshaping how organizations operate — but the hardest questions aren't about technology. They're about leadership. In this candid fireside conversation, Sol Rashidi — the world's first Chief AI Officer and one of Forbes' Top 5 Leaders Taking AI to Market — sits down with Steve Mayzak to talk about what it actually takes to lead through transformation at scale.
Â
Drawing on her experience deploying AI across Fortune 100 companies including Estée Lauder, Merck, Sony, and Royal Caribbean, Sol brings unfiltered insight on where executives are getting it right, where they're quietly getting it wrong, and the uncomfortable question she believes no one is asking loudly enough: as AI takes on more of the thinking, what happens to ours?
Â
This isn't a panel about the future of work. It's a real conversation about what separates leaders who drive AI outcomes from those who just greenlight them.
