In this episode of Soul of the CIO, we sit down with Deepika Adusumilli, former Chief Data Officer at BT, to explore what it really takes to implement AI at scale.

It’s a fundamental change in how organizations operate. In this episode of Soul of the CIO, we sit down with Dr. Mike Horton, Director of the Center for Applied AI Maturity at Northeastern University and former Chief AI Officer and Chief Data Officer at the U.S. Department of Transportation, to explore why so many organizations are approaching AI the wrong way.

Mike argues that AI adoption isn’t about buying the latest tools and expecting productivity to follow. Successful transformation requires organizations to rethink their people, processes, infrastructure, and mission while building the trust employees need to actually embrace AI.

Drawing on decades of experience across government, technology, academia, and the military, Mike explains why organizations should focus on enhancing human capabilities rather than replacing them, why AI pilots struggle to scale, and why leaders need to look beyond traditional ROI toward what he calls "return on mission."

We also discuss the realities of AI transformation inside the U.S. federal government, the dangers of technology hype, the importance of human-centric AI, and what previous technological revolutions can teach today’s leaders about navigating the AI era.
