11 – Unlocking Opportunities: The Role of AI and Automation in Creating Growth with VezTek’s Sani Abdul-Jabbar

Your host, Liudmila Kiseleva, talks with the CEO of VezTek, Sani Abdul-Jabbar. Sani recounted a pivotal moment that occurred during a chat with his grandmother. She inquired about the real-world impact of his work in corporate process optimization, particularly on employees’ livelihoods. This probing question sparked a profound reflection within Sani, leading him to a guiding principle: to create opportunities rather than take them away.

Sani ventured into the complex terrain of AI and automation. He articulated the challenges we face as these technologies become more prevalent, particularly the ethical considerations of their impact on the workforce. Sunny underscored the distinction between jobs and opportunities, suggesting that while AI may render certain roles obsolete, it simultaneously paves the way for new avenues of employment and innovation. He shared a compelling example from the industrial sector, where AI-driven process optimization led to a leaner, more efficient workforce. This example highlighted the dual nature of AI: its potential to streamline operations while also necessitating thoughtful consideration of job displacement.
