How Word Pairing Sparked the AI Revolution

In this first episode of At the Intersection, host Craig Francisco sits down with Mike Rojas, a seasoned AI strategist and technology leader who has spent decades helping organizations understand and apply emerging technologies. Mike has been at the forefront of artificial intelligence adoption, guiding executives and teams through the shift from traditional analytics to the new Human + AI era.

Together, Craig and Mike unpack the fascinating journey of artificial intelligence — from Alan Turing’s early breakthroughs to the transformational leap in 2022 with large language models and generative AI.

They explore:

• The 80-year history of AI and why October 2022 marked a turning point
• How generative AI tools like ChatGPT are augmenting human intelligence, not replacing it
• Why AI should be seen as an “Iron Man suit” for leaders and workers
• The truth about AI “hallucinations” and how models are improving
• How business leaders can embrace Human + AI to unlock new value

If you’ve been curious — or even cautious — about how AI is reshaping work, this conversation will give you both context and confidence.
