How to Choose Your AI Partners with Suhail Nimji, VP/Head of Business Development, Corporate Development, and Partnerships at Jasper

Is implementing generative AI different from implementing other tools? Should CIOs build or buy, and how should they choose their AI partners? IIn this episode, Yadin sits down with Suhail Nimji, VP/Head of Business Development, Corporate Development, and Partnerships at Jasper, to discuss what he is seeing and hearing in the market. They dive into the change management differences with AI, as well as the questions CIOs should ask as they build AI partnerships. --------- Key Quotes: “This is a journey, not a sort of, hey, we've implemented this thing and let's go. And so when I talk to CIOs about the landscape, it's more so who can you partner with on this journey? And I think that's the most important thing to think about. Because it will be iterative.” “The CIO's job is to be thinking about the next frontier constantly while having one eye on the present and one eye on the future. And to think that this is like a net new sort of revelation for them would be remiss. Their entire job with their leadership is to think about, how are we implementing the best technology for our customers, for our employees? How do we give the best experience? Generative is just another sort of like, oh, look, there's another tool that we should go evaluate.” --------- Timestamps: (01:15) What is the current conversation about generative AI?
