In this episode of Risky Business, host Bryan Hattingh interviews Patrick Kayton, CEO and co-founder of Cognition, to discuss the evolving role of artificial intelligence in the modern workplace. Moving away from the "bloody" connotations of a tech revolution, Caton frames the current AI era as a metamorphosis that prioritizes human connection and behavioural change over mere software adoption. The discussion covers the journey of Cognition from its entrepreneurial roots in South Africa to its global partnership with Accenture and highlights how AI tools like Microsoft Copilot are being used to eliminate workplace drudgery. By shifting focus from fear-based adoption to intentional use, Hattingh and Caton illustrate how technology can ultimately empower individuals to reclaim their time and achieve a more meaningful work-life balance.
