इस एपिसोड के बारे में
In this episode of Austin Tech Connect, Thom Singer talks with Stephen Straus, co-founder and CEO of KungFu.AI, about what it really means to lead in the age of artificial intelligence. Stephen started KungFu.AI in 2017, years before ChatGPT made AI the topic everyone was talking about, and his perspective is shaped by seeing the early internet boom in Austin and now watching AI reshape every industry. The conversation explores why companies need to think beyond simple automation and start asking how they can use AI to disrupt their own industries before someone else does. Stephen also shares the story behind his upcoming book, "Wayfinding: A Business Fable About Leading in the Age of AI" , about a CEO who has 90 days to build an AI strategy or lose her job. Along the way, Thom and Stephen talk about leadership, vulnerability, proprietary data, the difference between real AI strategy and AI hype, and why Austin's tech ecosystem continues to evolve in powerful ways.
