Welcome back to How I AI! In this episode, I’m joined by Seema Alexander—co-founder and president of Virgent AI, AI strategist, and co-chair of DC Startup Week. We dive deep into what it means to responsibly and intentionally integrate AI across industries and why this is the most innovative moment in history.
Seema shares her journey from corporate strategy to AI acceleration, her favorite tools, and how she advises companies on identifying the highest ROI, lowest-effort applications of AI. We talk agents, data, leadership shifts, and the future of how work gets done.
Whether you're new to AI or deep in the build phase, this one is packed with insights on how to rethink the way you work—and what's coming next.
🎧 Tune in now and get inspired to experiment, restructure, and build with purpose.
