In 2011, IBM’s Watson won Jeopardy, changing the conversation about AI forever. The 15 years since have brought meaningful advances, though the path to broad impact has proved more complex than many expected. CEO Arvind Krishna joins Sarah and Andrew to discuss what the company has learned along the way—and how those lessons are shaping the IBM playbook. Arvind explains why the era of AI experimentation is over and why leaders should focus investment on a small number of high-impact areas rather than spread resources across dozens of experiments. He shares how IBM has put that approach to work in areas like HR and enterprise operations. And he makes some provocative predictions about the future of quantum and AI working together, promising that quantum advances are coming much sooner than many might expect.Join the Conversation: To learn more about the Winning with AI podcast check out (https://www.bain.com/insights/topics/winning-with-ai-podcast/) or hit the link for additional AI Insights (https://www.bain.com/insights/topics/ai/)Bain & Company LinkedIn | / bain-and-company Bain & Company X | https://x.com/BainandCompany
