Is your organization stuck on table stakes or starting to place more strategic bets when it comes to implementing AI? Are your employees still wrapping their heads around LLMs, or have they started experimenting with agentic AI? And what’s the competitive advantage you want your company to be famous for?

On this season finale episode of Where AI Works, host Kartik Hosanagar tackles those questions and more with the help of a woman who oversees more than 65,000 data and AI practitioners, and has helped her organization book more than 5.6 billion dollars worth of AI-related business in the past 18 months — Accenture’s chief AI officer, Lan Guan. Together, they break down the key trends shaping AI’s impact on enterprises, with Lan sharing insights from Accenture’s groundbreaking AI initiatives. You’ll hear specific examples of how AI-powered solutions are improving efficiency and automating workflows across sectors like financial services, oil and gas, and life sciences. Lan also shares her thoughts on which challenges the AI sector still needs to solve, including education, governance, and interoperability.
