AI Hot Takes (2025 Edition)

We're turning up the heat once again! After last year's sizzling Hot Takes episode, we had to run it back for 2025.

Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker is joined by CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product & Technology Officer Mohan Rao to deliver their boldest AI predictions yet. What shifts are coming in AI? Which trends are about to fizzle out? And what might shake up the industry in unexpected ways?

In our expert interview segment, Pete Buer sits down with AI and digital transformation expert Dr. Henna Karna, a Harvard Fellow and former Google executive. She shares practical strategies for business leaders to ensure AI is solving real problems and not just creating new ones. From cost concerns to strategic adoption, Dr. Karna explains how companies can maximize AI's potential without getting caught up in the hype.

Grab your milk, ice cream, or (according to Mohan) hot chocolate—this one's gonna be on fire!
