Becoming AI Native: How a Non-Tech CEO Transformed Brinks Home
<p>Most companies talk about AI.<br /> Few actually become AI-native.</p> <p>In this episode of the podcast, Laks and Charlie sat down with Bill Niles, CEO of Brinks Home, who’s leading one of the most compelling AI transformations in the service industry—without being a tech guru.</p> <p>We didn’t talk about futuristic robots or cutting-edge hardware.
