## Summary

Daniel Hulme, CEO of Satalia (recently acquired by WPP), joins host Ryan Prosser of Very to discuss the reality of artificial intelligence versus the hype. Hulme argues that most current 'AI' is merely machine learning or automation, and true AI requires complex adaptive systems that can learn in production—a capability he claims does not yet exist at scale. The conversation covers the critical distinction between machine learning problems and decision problems, the role of IoT in enabling adaptive behavior, and the ethical implications of digital twins and biometric monitoring in the workplace.
