Beyond the Buzzwords: Fawad Qureshi on AI, Bias, and Staying Relevant

If AI feels like it’s moving faster than your ability to keep up—you’re not alone. But according to Fawad Qureshi, staying relevant isn’t about knowing everything. It’s about learning to ask the right questions.From “data plumber” to field CTO at Snowflake, Fawad Qureshi has made a career out of translating complexity into clarity. In this wide-ranging conversation, he joins David to break down the psychology of AI adoption, the myth of machine intelligence, and why the most dangerous phrase in tech is “that sounds smart.” From AI hallucinations to deepfake threats, Fawad urges leaders to lean into critical thinking, reject hype, and rethink the skills that really matter in an age of accelerating automation.
