The CTO Talks Series’ Post

Mic drop 🎤 ”Have you ever seen someone from the projects, Boyle Heights, put a team together and make a digital media AI platform like this before?” Booooooom 💥 Will.i.am just asked at #VeeCon—and honestly, I’m still picking my jaw up off the floor. This is next-level stuff. Watching Will.i.am seamlessly interact with AI, RAiDiO, with music playing nonstop, and having real-life discussions on how this app can make a big innovative impact? It’s like something straight out of a sci-fi movie. I’ve seen a lot of tech coming from a tech driven company, but this… this is a whole new world. He straight up had a discussion on quantum entanglement?!!? 🤯 As leaders, we’re always told to ‘think outside the box.’ Well, Will.i.am just took the box, turned it into AI magic, and had a back-and-forth conversation. It’s a reminder that the future isn’t just coming—it’s already here, and it’s way cooler than we could’ve imagined. Now, the challenge is on us: How can we bring this kind of innovative thinking back to our teams? How can we harness the unexpected, the jaw-dropping, and turn it into something that drives real impact? If you need me, I’ll be over here, still in awe, trying to figure out how to top this in my next meeting. #Innovation #Leadership #VeeCon2024 #MindBlown #RAiDiO #AIdiscussions #realtalk #bosstalk #quantumentanglement

Exploring Faith and Technology! I’ve been on such an interesting journey with Project United. We’re using AI to help churches connect more deeply with their communities, simplify their operations, and expand their reach. It’s amazing how, when used thoughtfully, technology can bring people closer and make faith feel more accessible. I’ve been learning a lot from folks like @Nona Jones and @Carey Nieuwhof, who are leading the way in digital strategies for churches. Their insights have shaped how I’m approaching AI—not as something that replaces connection, but as a tool that enhances it in a way that feels authentic. 🔄 Imagine tech that doesn’t replace the human touch but amplifies it—helping churches grow in ways that feel personal and impactful. That’s the vision, and I’m excited to see where it goes! 💬 If you’re a church leader or part of a faith community interested in using tech to amplify your mission, I’d love to connect and chat. Let’s build something meaningful together. #FaithTech #ChurchGrowth #AIIntegration #Leadership #Community #Innovation

GenAI, specifically its role in driving efficiency, innovation, and growth plus the strategic importance of Responsible AI and its implications, were the core topics of a session I attended last night. It was a fun, engaging group of smart, accomplished business and marketing leaders in the tri-state area. Thank you to my friends at Slalom for the insights and facilitation and Club CMO for the organization and topics. To me, the most valuable points that we discussed and debated: 1.     The business impact and transformative potential across business functions are massive. 2.     Challenges related to data privacy, bias, transparency, and IP risk are significant and need to be managed. 3.     The use cases seem endless and need to be extremely thoughtful. We discussed the potential for increased profitability through dynamic pricing and data analysis with GenAI as one example. The strategic importance across industries and sizes of organizations was fascinating and the opportunities are endless. The future is so bright!
