The Silicon Ceiling: Why AI Stalls at the Frontline

Episode notes

Executives are using AI weekly, but frontline adoption is lagging far behind. In this episode, Daniel Carter and Todd Curzon unpack why that gap is not just a technology problem—it’s a leadership accountability problem. They compare how the challenge shows up across financial services , healthcare , and technology : from compliance and auditability, to patient safety and workflow friction, to speed and the risk of AI theater. The conversation also highlights the AI-Ready Executive cohort as a practical model for turning AI curiosity into real organizational change. If you’re a newly promoted VP or Director trying to move AI from scattered experimentation to meaningful adoption, this episode is built for you.
