In The “Industrial AI” Advantage Nobody Explains, Dave Howden reveals why most businesses are using AI the wrong way and why real advantage only comes when AI is built around your IP. AI is moving fast, but surface-level tools are not creating meaningful results. In this episode of The Business Game, Dave Howden from SupaHuman AI breaks down what industrial AI actually is, why strategy must come before technology, and how businesses are eliminating weeks of work while improving quality and reducing cost. This conversation goes beyond hype and focuses on how leaders can use AI to create durable competitive advantage instead of short-term productivity wins. You will learn:
- Why consumer AI tools do not create defensible advantage
- How IP, data, and AI work together to drive real results
- How companies are turning weeks of work into minutes
- Why AI adoption is a leadership decision, not a tech decision
- What AI means for the future of knowledge work
