In this episode of One Vision, we welcome Tony Fish, author of 'Decision Making in Uncertain Times', for a deep dive into the complexities of corporate governance in the age of data and AI.

Tony shares his unique perspective on corporate governance, the importance of asking the right questions, and the role of human elements like trust and empathy in technology. As he urged us,  we have to find a way, through love, hope, and faith, to counterbalance everything else that's going on through things which are deeply human. It’s a must-listen (and must-watch) for thinkers, technologists, and business leaders alike.

🔥Hot take: “ In our drive for efficiency, we lose efficacy.”
