What does the future look like for an integrated oil and gas company in a world of changing energy demands, sustainability pressures, and rapid advances in AI? In this episode of Not Just AI, Pranay Agrawal, Co-founder and CEO of Fractal, speaks with András Svébis, CIO of MOL Group, about how the company is preparing for the future through its Shape Tomorrow strategy, and how AI, data, and human leadership can turn that ambition into business impact. MOL Group operates across the energy value chain, from exploration and production to refining, petrochemicals, and retail. Its strategy also extends into new areas, including waste management and recycling, as the company looks beyond traditional oil and gas. In their conversation, András shares how AI could help address the energy trilemma of security, affordability, and sustainability, and why the biggest barriers to transformation may have less to do with technology than with data, culture, and people.In this episode, we explore: Shaping the future beyond oil: How MOL Group’s Shape Tomorrow strategy is preparing the business for a changing energy landscape.AI and the energy trilemma: How optimization can help improve energy security, affordability, and sustainability at the same time.Building a circular economy: Why data transparency and traceability are essential to improving waste collection, recycling, and material flows.Turning fuel stations into consumer destinations: How data and AI can help personalize offers and create new retail opportunities across MOL Group’s network of more than 2,400 service stations.Moving from AI experiments to business value: Why successful AI initiatives should start with a business problem and a measurable KPI.Why good-enough data matters: How organizations can make progress without waiting for perfect data.The human side of AI transformation: Why culture, trust, decision-making, and the ability to unlearn established ways of working are critical to adoption.Leadership in the AI era: Why leaders must keep people at the center, encourage adaptability, and focus on business outcomes. One of András’s central messages is that technology is moving faster than people and organizations can adapt. The next stage of AI transformation will depend on helping people embrace new ways of working, redesigning business processes, and giving AI a role in improving enterprise-wide performance.
