Behind the AI Hype with Dar Andrews & Jeremy Kedziora

Where is AI really headed—and what should leaders do now? In this episode, Zac Turbes sits down with Dar Andrews, CIO at NEI Global Relocation, and Jeremy Kedziora, AI professor at Milwaukee School of Engineering, to separate signal from noise. They unpack why today’s inflection point is about practical deployment, not sci-fi AGI, and how agentic systems and robotics will expand real-world impact next.

From “augmentation over replacement” to the human skills that rise in value—creativity, critical thinking, relationship-building—Dar and Jeremy lay out a pragmatic roadmap. They discuss adoption without exposing sensitive data, where AI adds immediate lift (engineering, operations, knowledge work), and how companies can upskill teams without fueling fear. If you lead in global mobility, HR, or tech, this conversation shows how to leverage AI for productivity—while doubling down on what only humans do best.
