AI is no longer optional, but neither is clarity. 

Artificial intelligence is everywhere; in our tools, our headlines, and our boardroom strategies. But while the hype grows, so does the confusion.  

In this thought-provoking episode of Simplifiers, host Amel Gaily sits down with leading voices in the AI world: Mikko Alasaarela, ethical AI entrepreneur and keynote speaker, and Gabriel dos Reis Estivalet, data scientist and advisor at Solteq. 

Together, Amel, Mikko and Gabriel explore the real impact of AI on modern business, far beyond the buzzwords. From failed pilots to practical use cases, from power users to those left behind, this episode unpacks: 

✅ Why many AI initiatives fail before they begin 

✅ How ethical, responsible design builds long-term trust 

✅ What most companies overlook in their AI foundations 

✅ How agents and automation are reshaping digital work 

✅ The underrated value of human skills in an AI-driven world 

You’ll also hear stories of real business transformation, including a small-but-powerful AI use case that delivered massive results, without a massive project. 

Whether you’re just starting your AI journey or scaling next-gen tools, this episode offers strategic insight with a human lens.
