Artificial intelligence has moved from an emerging technology to a boardroom priority. As companies adopt foundation models, AI agents, and increasingly autonomous systems, the real challenge is no longer only technological. It is also about people, strategy, trust, sovereignty, and the ability to manage change at scale. The first episode of Season 3 of The Optimist is hosted by Dale Rickert, who speaks with Clarisa Doval, Chief Data and AI Officer at Airbus Helicopters, and Cornelia Schaurecker, Board Member and Senior AI Advisor at F-Secure.
