Included on the panel at the TIME forum, which spotlighted AI-driven business leadership, were Nigel Vaz, the chief executive officer of Publicis Sapient, an AI services company that helps to modernize businesses and a sponsor of Wednesday’s event; Deepa Soni, the executive vice president and chief information officer of New York Life Insurance Company; and Ravi Radhakrishnan, the executive vice president and chief information officer of American Express. Vaz began the conversation discussing the “exponential” capability of AI to transform and enhance companies’ abilities to problem solve and become more efficient. For his company, AI is a tool used to extract value and optimize performance for clients by reducing time and cost. Many of them, he notes, must bridge the gap between their relatively outdated technology and increasingly more useful AI tools––what he referred to as their “tech debt.” The tall task of adopting more efficient tech is weighing down many older companies against new, AI-forward competitors, he says. But for now, it isn’t obvious to Vaz who’s winning the race to transform the AI industry. “We have not yet seen the conversation move to ‘What is the Uber and the Airbnb of the AI era?’ in the context of real transformation of industry,” he said. “We’re still focused today on the productivity gains, on the incremental value that we can create, which is perfectly fine, given as we just said, we’re so early in the journey.” For Soni, AI is a “strategic enabler” within her company. “There are actual business problems that we can solve now with AI that we could not before,” she says, adding that, contrary to popular discourse, AI will not eliminate jobs, she believes, but rather expand the capabilities and services of the workforce. “I think where we are in the life cycle of adoption of AI, we absolutely think of AI as a human amplifier,” she said. “We are on a growth trajectory, and we can do a lot more with the same workforce.” At American Express, Radhakrishnan admitted that the company initially didn’t see exactly how AI could best be utilized but that by getting some things wrong, the company figured out other ways to move forward and excel. “In the early days,” he said, “we had assumptions on where we would see value from the technology, and we quickly learned that sometimes some of those assumptions didn’t work out, but the underlying learnings from the technology turned out to be very useful.” Despite the rapid progress AI has provided to companies including American Express, and the unpredictable ways in which it will continue to transform businesses and products in years to come, Radhakrishnan believes that company success and consumer opinion will be determined by the same factors by which they are today. “I think five years from now, after this is played out a bit more, I think we’ll be back to talking about the same things we should always be talking about: trust, service, security,” he says. “It’s consumers who are going to decide on which AI are we going to trust.” _The TIME100 AI Leadership Forum was presented by Amazon One Medical and Publicis Sapient._ ## Transcript Thank you. Um, we don't have a lot of time, so let's just get straight to it. Um, AI is as this conference, this forum demonstrates, it's been in the public conversation for a while now. Right? And that conversation seems to get bigger and bigger. And when it comes to corporations, it seems to me that there is also this pressure to a phrase that I read the other day, adopt or die. And that seems to leave a lot of space in the middle. Right. You have to adopt because there's a lot of pressure and you have to get there. But the question is, are you getting it right? And when do you find out? So, Nigel, if I could start with you on something that you've gotten wrong as you've faced this pressure and as the conversation has become bigger and bigger? Yeah, I'd say probably the biggest thing for me is the focus on the technology, as opposed to the grief that the people are going through, mourning systems and ways of working that have worked so well for them. And I don't mean people who are not technologists. I'm talking about engineers and people who write code, fall in love with their ability to do that, and then needing to move to a different way of working. And I think the underestimation of how profound that gap is in organisations and people needing to get through that process before you can start to see meaningful change is probably, I would say, one of the things that I underestimated. And how do you how do you solve that? How do you get to the right answer? I think the only way you can get through the right answer is giving people a sense of how this is going to need them to push through that in order to deliver exponential outcomes, which aren't possible. So, you know, in the context of an engineer, phenomenal at writing great code, understanding that today AI models or yesterday, AI models were able to do tasks that took an hour, eventually a day and soon a week, right. And as you start to think about the exponential nature of what you can affect, the kinds of systems you can build, the technology implications in terms of time and cost, the value becomes self-evident. And if I was to give you a technical comparison, back in the day before compilers, when people wrote code, there was this natural, incessant behavior of, well, let me check the actual assembly language to ensure the code comes out the way I'd intended it to. And people just don't do that anymore. And I think that's a natural progression through this notion of where today, people in the technical, in the technology space, just as an example, and you can apply this to many others, have the need to constantly interact with tasks that they've, you know, commissioned or put out in the context of being delivered through AI. And I think eventually that's going to fade to acceptance, testing and outcomes as opposed to interaction through the process. What does this mean for someone like you, Deepa? Because this question of applying this technology, what does it mean at a company such as yours, you're about, what, 180 years old? Um, which is a little bit older than time. Um, so how, how does this play out for you? Because you're dealing with not just legacy systems, legacy employees, you're all over the world and you're bringing in this new technology, which could have potentially great disruptive potential. Yeah, I think we have to think about we think about AI as not as a technology, but as a strategic enabler. And what that means is it's not technology waiting to solve a business problem, but there are actual business problems that we can solve now with AI that we could not before. So we really think about in terms of how do we reimagine our workflows, reinvent our workflows with the capabilities that we have today with AI that we couldn't do even six months ago, for that matter? You know, AI is capabilities have been evolving even in the last three years, as we've seen from ChatGPT to being able to do bolt ons to our processes to now being able to really reimagine the client experience or an advisor experience in our scenario where advisors are interacting with the clients directly. So neither Nigel or Deeper have told me what they've gotten wrong. So, Ravi, the pressure's on you. Um, what happens at a company such as yours, which is in the world of finance, where. And this is true of Deepa as well. But with you guys, there's a lot of international regulation that you have to deal with as well, right? So the question of legacy, but also the question of navigating that maze, which by the way, can change at a moment's notice or in parliamentary terms, notice. How does this technology work in that context? How do you make it work and what have you gotten wrong? Again, to go back to where I started. Yeah, maybe I'll start with what we got wrong. In the early days, we had assumptions on where we would see value from the technology, and we quickly learned that sometimes some of those assumptions didn't work out, but the underlying learnings from the technology turned out to be very useful. We could use it in other ways, and we could build on it for more value, right? So not being too focused on what your assumptions of value were, because you have to kind of fail fast and learn, but take the learnings to apply it to other things. So that's probably one that comes to mind when I come back to being in a regulated industry. One of the first things we did was involve all of our risk compliance type of functions. From the beginning, we set up a cross-functional, a council that had everybody from our innovation labs to the security type of people, but at the same time, compliance and risk type of functions and created what we called an enablement layer for the enterprise. So we decided upfront that there is going to be a lot of value in taking the time to build that, maybe going a bit slower to go faster later. And that's allowed us to be more flexible and adapting to changes. So we kind of knew that this is going to change. So let's invest time in kind of building that layer on top of which the changes could happen. What about the question of the disruption to the workforce specifically, how do you talk to your colleagues about this technology. And again, this is in the context of everything that we read about. This is going to take away X number of jobs, and the number keeps rising and falling. The other day we had a, you know, more positive assessment that maybe it's not, but who knows what we have next week. How do you navigate that? How do you talk to your colleagues at New York Life about this? Yeah, I think where we are in the life cycle of adoption of AI, we absolutely think of AI as a human amplifier. We are on a growth trajectory, and we can do a lot more with the same workforce. So we absolutely think that this is an amplifying different roles in different ways. And that's how we talk to our colleagues. What about you, Nigel? You know, I think for me, an analogous time comparison is helpful. Sapiens was started in the early days of the internet, and there was a lot of conversation back then. I think 1999 2000, Cisco was the most valuable company in the world alongside Microsoft and others, because it was all about where we were in the technology journey at the time. And so there were a lot of, you know, predictions about the.com bubble ending, the relevance of the internet and, you know, trillions of dollars being wiped out. And that did happen. But the internet did also probably create an exponential amount of value. I think our belief is as a company of our size, we see tremendous opportunity in areas that we are just not playing in. You know, so today we run a product and people model, which was very different from a people only model, you know, 30 years ago. And we're taking share in areas like managed services, the space we didn't play in through platforms and AI platforms, building things like Self-heal self-repair, which were just too expensive for us to deploy at a company of our scale with our price point relative to our much, much larger competitors. So I think in the context of every business, you are going to go through some roles, as Deepa was saying, that are going to change, that are going to evolve. But I think on balance, I feel like there is going to be more opportunity to do more as the technology evolves, because there are so many things we have people doing today that I'm not sure they necessarily were the best suited to do in the first place. I can't help but fact check is change and evolve a euphemism for job losses? Not really. No. And I think in our case, it's actually potentially being able to hire more people to do more than you were able to do, because you're now able to play in spaces that you're just not able to. It doesn't mean that there won't be any, but, but it depends, I think, on the context and your starting point. That's an optimistic note. What about you, Ravi? Our focus has been on creating an AI confident workforce. We are starting with the assumption that AI is going to affect everything we do. So having an AI confident workforce, one that's anchored on understanding the risks of the technology. Also given the financial service regulated business we are in. So that's really the starting point for our dialogues. And then we've tried to combine that with broad rollout of democratized tools, contextual function based type of training and just appreciating that, then you will have different kinds of impact and different kinds of functions over time, ultimately allowing to do more expand into it. But it's not a one size fits all. Um, Nigel, you mentioned earlier when we were talking backstage about the disconnect that sometimes happens in this conversation, which is all of us, well, actually not all of us here, because everybody here is very much in that conversation. But most of the world, when they think about AI, think of ChatGPT, right? Or cloud or whatever model that they're using to solve tasks in their personal and professional lives. But on an enterprise level, it looks different, right? Um, could you tell us a bit about how that looks different? Yeah, I think you have to start with the fact that almost, I mean, just on the stage here and probably in the room, right? Lots of companies aren't people who are starting today. They've been around for a really long time. So while you might try and touch things on the surface, think about the legacy, the tech debt, forget about the people. Just look at the technology and the tech debt that you have to overcome. We're working with banks where mainframe core banks aren't allowing them to change fast enough, which is why they can't compete with fintechs and hospitals. Mainframes holding customer data across multiple systems. So while I might be able to deploy agents on my home computer and talk about a genetic orchestration, when you are like, we work with a hospital to try and get a nurse practitioner to move from being able to support three beds in the intensive care because of the data streams that she was able to process to see the trajectory of patients to now going from three beds to six beds, because you are able to allow the data to go through an AI layer, the risk, the compliance, the regulated industry effects, the legacy that that data is coming through, the interoperability, the separation of this data across systems. All of that means this breaks down. I mean, a fantastic story. A CEO said to me, he said, you know, like this MIT report that came out talking about 95% of all AI, you know, failing. And we were having this conversation. He said, why do these pilots succeed? But then the actual value isn't delivered well, because in a pilot, they organize everything. You own it, the data is clean. The objectives that you're trying to get out are well laid out. The cross-disciplinary nature of the work isn't actually a problem, because everybody's been told, we're running this pilot and this is how it works. You take that and you deploy it in the wild of an enterprise where regulation, where incentives aren't aligned, where the data is fragmented, where the semantic layer hasn't been stitched together across function. It's still working in a baton passing world where tokenization and the consumption of tokens is happening on a weekly basis. But the budget was agreed at last year's budget, and all of a sudden the thing breaks down dramatically. And this is where I was talking about the kind of grief and the mourning period you have to overcome in order for the value to be unlocked, because so much of the problem and big transformations isn't the technology. Because if you took the people out of it, it would work just fine. But of course, we're all people. And I think the minute you imagine organizations that are 100 years old with, you know, 50 years of modern ish technology that's being deployed every decade, you've got to unpick through a lot of that. And I think AI can help you get a long way toward that. But it has to be done in the context of the organization, as opposed to a utopian scenario where you're just playing with an agent that does amazing stuff for you on, you know, finding products or flights. Deepa, does that chime with your experience applying this to? Yeah, I would say, you know, if you start fundamentally the enterprise AI is way more harder than consumer AI. The rigor that you have to put in the process is where 180 year old company, the trust that our customers put on us. We got to make sure that works. The advice that we give, the answers that we give are still very trustworthy. So I think there is a rigor that we have to build in responsible AI in making sure that our guardrails, you know, the technology is new, as we were talking about. So making that work in an enterprise does require a lot of the things that Nicole was talking about to make it work beautifully across many of these dimensions. And again, you know, technology is one part of the equation. It's also ways of working its operating rhythms, its guardrails, so many things that have to come together in an enterprise to really drive value. And I would say that's a step change harder than a consumer AI. So the question the question of guardrails is interesting, right? Again, we, we when we talk about AI, quite often we talk about the debate between people who advocate, excuse me, AI safety and just more AI progress. But that's like, you know, on the tech side, how does that play out inside a business. I think the guardrails come down to what part of the business you're talking about. Right? So we have a wide range of businesses. So we don't think about the guardrails the same way. So we have a restaurant business for those of you who use it. So if I'm doing a dining recommendation, the guardrails there have more room. If I'm making a credit decision on an authorization, then the guardrails, like Deepa said, are very, very tight and very, very precise. So the first thing is we have learned to think of guardrails itself as fit for purpose, depending on the risk profile and the risk appetite of what activity that you're doing. And that's another complexity that in an enterprise context that you have to think through. So, so without giving too much away, I wonder, like, how does that play out? Let's say you have to make a credit decision. So how does, how does that interaction play out and where might the guardrail be? Yeah. For us, we have been doing traditional AI, ML for 15 years in making all fraud and credit decisions at Amex. Right? So that's what we build on. And then we see where can this class of AI help us with. So if I were to use a real example in our fraud decisions, we've historically used traditional AI, ML, but it hasn't necessarily looked at all the unstructured data. So now we can combine unstructured data with LLMs along with AI, ML, where it's appropriate to act as signals into it. So that would be a real way in which it plays out. On that question of data and the whole issue of data. How important is maintaining a kind of corporate data sovereignty? Like we talk about it in a national sense. How important is it for somebody like you when you're thinking about these decisions? I think when you think about every enterprise, right, data sovereignty is paramount because it's essentially the thing that your models are going to be built on and trained on, and in many cases, not large language models, but small language models that focus on very specific things like Ravi was talking about in the context of specific decisions. For me, I think there's two things that are that are increasingly important. The first is we've grown up in a world of software where software holds large data sets in their own format for their own use. And I think organizations are realizing that, you know, the sales data and the marketing data and the operational procurement data connecting those is where the real magic of AI starts to kind of unlock, you know? So as an example, in the case of an insurance company, we're working to, to measure environmental data where if, for example, the air quality in a particular city because of wildfires gets particularly egregious, you have to connect that data set to the data set of people that they insure in that state or in that city that actually have respiratory distress or COPD. And you're driving specific interactions to those people in the context of that. For a large hotel company, you're basically trying to connect data sets about what they know about their through loyalty, about their customer, by creating a white box to allow somebody to say, rather than the typical hotel search approach of, you know, give you these dates and, and give you the city and you want to be able to just simply put some text in there that says, you know, a small family with a young child and a pet not wanting to travel more than 2.5 hours outside this city by road and an hour by air, what are my options? Right. In order to get the right answers in those contexts, if you can't thread the data sets, the answers are dramatically different. So the question isn't for me on whether or not you need to connect your data sets. The question is, what answers are you trying to accomplish in the context of what you're trying to solve, and what are the data sets that your models and the application layer need need to be built on? Because otherwise you get just dramatically different outcomes. And we saw that in the early days of AI, even on the consumer side and the enterprises, as we've just said, more and more complex. Deeper. This must be a really important question for you, right? Because you have a lot of sensitive personal data of your customers. Yeah. Data is a wide topic and a sore topic on many fronts. AI has made it even more sore, I would say. But, you know, data is foundational. And what I would say is instead of trying to focus on solving data as a solution, I think we need to start with the business problem and the context of what you're trying to solve. And we look at that, look at that context. And we used to talk about just structured data, but now we have loads of unstructured data that needs to come into context to provide the right answer. And by the way, Agentic solutions are also creating new data that we need to make sure that is harnessed for what it's going to do. So I, we look at data as foundational to enabling AI, but again, making it, not making it a wide problem, but let's start solving it in pieces. In the context of the business problem that we have. Um, we have a few minutes left, so I'm going to ask the last question, which I hope you spend some time on, which is a version of the question that Alice asked at the end of her panel. We've had all this time with this new technology. It's been a few years. Seems like it's been a longer time, but it's only been a few years. If we were to meet five years from now, Ravi and we were to rerun this conversation on some of these topics about what we're getting right, what we're getting wrong, what what do you expect that conversation to be like? What do you think we're going to be talking about? Are we still talking about questions of data sovereignty, about how to connect these things? Are we still talking about how this is used within organizations, or are we talking about something else? I think five years from now, after this has played out a bit more, I think we'll be back to talking about the same things. We should always be talking about trust service security, because if you think of the capabilities being commoditized and everybody has access to those. I think as consumers, we're going to decide on which AI are we going to trust if things go wrong? How is it going to get serviced? Is it going to be secure? So in some ways, we feel that that's been our brand ethos for a long time. And it's highly likely five years from now that will still be foundational. So it'll become a quality discussion almost. Nigel. I think for me, again, you know, I draw comparisons back to the early days of the internet, right? I think we have not yet seen the conversation move to what is the Uber and the Airbnb of the AI era in the context of real transformation of industry? We're still focused today on the productivity gains, on the incremental value that we can create, which is perfectly fine given, as we just said, we're so early in the journey. But for me, I think the conversation, just like it moved from Cisco and, you know, infrastructure and, and browsers in the, in the late 90s. I think we'll move away from talking about AI in the context of compute and models. Those will be assumptions. The question will be, what is the business model shift you're enabling in healthcare, in retail, in transportation, and what are the definitive companies that exist today that will have created solutions that are materially different in the next few years? Or new companies, you know, just like we saw in that in that comparison in, you know, in the fact that the.com bubble burst in 1999 and 2000, but Airbnb and Uber hadn't been created. And Facebook was a nascent idea in a dorm room. And all of those shifts came after. And I think we're not yet in that. So I hope five years from now we'll be talking about businesses like that. That's a great answer. And you give me an idea for another question, but I'm going to resist Deepak. Do you think it'll be sort of the same? Do you think is it going to be different? I really hope that we are talking about significant change in our customer experiences and employee experiences and have created these capabilities in five years. I think the way the pace of change is enormous, and the opportunity to leverage this technology to create a competitive differentiation is now is huge. And so the companies that are going to be able to take advantage of this should be in a very different place. But I would echo what Ravi said, the trust, the responsibility of the companies with, you know, the legacy, the 180 years of rich history remains. That responsibility remains. And I would say that AI would have amplified some of that trust and responsibility that the companies can. Well, no one's going to trust me as a moderator again, because I am going to ask that question because we still have two minutes. Um, but your great answer made me think. Do you think because the underlying assumption, in fact, even in Ravi's answer and deepa's, is that the infrastructure we need to make all this happen to get to the Uber of AI, to answer the questions of trust that we're going to get that infrastructure. Are we like, are you that optimistic? Well, I think the infrastructure is being built as we speak, almost on a weekly basis. You're seeing the exponential nature of how the technology is evolving. The question becomes, how will organizations or people individually, as they create businesses, harness this to solve actual human problems in healthcare, in retail, in mobility. And I think that's where the value unlock will start to happen. Because today, the only value we talk about in the context of AI is the value of the technology companies producing it. But surely the value will have to shift from those to the people who are actually going to be the beneficiaries of that technology, that use it to create value in the context of credit, decisioning, mortgage allocation, insurance, better health care, right? That's that's the macroeconomic value chain that we have to kind of get to. Great. Well, on that very optimistic take. Thank you very much. That's great. Thank you. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collection/time100-leadership-forums/2026/leading-with-vision-in-the-age-of-ai/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collection/time100-leadership-forums/2026/leading-with-vision-in-the-age-of-ai/"},"headline":"Executives Discuss How AI Is Transforming the Business Landscape","datePublished":"2026-05-28T06:41:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-29T20:47:12.263Z","description":"Nigel Vaz, CEO of Publicis Sapient, a sponsor of the event; Deepa Soni, EVP and CIO of New York Life Insurance Company; and Ravi Radhakrishnan, EVP and CIO of American Express, spoke at the TIME100 AI Leadership Forum.","url":"https://time.com/collection/time100-leadership-forums/2026/leading-with-vision-in-the-age-of-ai/","keywords":["AI","Leadership"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8c3dbeab25b97598/6a18539b23825d690e606821/Katie_Burke-8041.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Connor Greene","jobTitle":"Editorial Fellow","url":"https://time.com/author/connor-greene/"}],"creator":"Connor Greene","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8c3dbeab25b97598/6a18539b23825d690e606821/Katie_Burke-8041.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collection/time100-leadership-forums/2026/","name":"TIME100 Leadership Forums 2026"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collection/time100-leadership-forums/2026/leading-with-vision-in-the-age-of-ai/","name":"Executives Discuss How AI Is Transforming the Business Landscape"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Executives Discuss How AI Is Transforming the Business Landscape","description":"A panel of executives spoke at the TIME100 AI Leadership Forum on Wednesday night in New York City about the ways artificial intelligence is reshaping the business landscape, and how they’re shepherding their companies into a technologically capricious future.
