AI Is Blurring the Line Between Business and Tech | Innovantage Podcast #56

How is AI changing the relationship between business and technology — and what happens when even great tech fails to deliver business value? On the Innovantage Podcast, Gediminas Zalys from Accenture UK & Ireland unpacks what digital transformation actually looks like inside large enterprises.

Gediminas Zalys is an engineering leader focused on AI, machine learning, and business transformation.
