AI is everywhere right now—but where is it actually delivering real results?

In this episode of The Incredible i Show, Peg Tuttle sits down with IBM technology leader Jesse Gorzinski to talk about how organizations are moving beyond experimentation and starting to use AI in practical, meaningful ways.

From automating repetitive tasks to unlocking insights from decades of trusted data, this conversation focuses on what’s working today—especially in the IBM i community.

Jesse also introduces his Five Journeys Framework, helping organizations understand which type of AI they actually need—and why so many AI initiatives fail when they start in the wrong place.

You’ll also hear a clear, no-jargon explanation of agentic AI—what it really means, how it works, and why it represents the shift from AI that generates… to AI that actually does the work.
