Key topics include: why you should create an "AI Council" to stay on top of current and future innovations; why he thinks there will be AI Native agencies and AI Emergent agencies and all others will be obsolete; and how creating a roadmap allows you to think through the tech stack, employee capabilities and your partner ecosystem.
