About this listen

 Join OSF Digital’s Gerard Szatvanyi and Forbes Books’ Joe Pardavila for an insightful discussion with Ron Green, CTO and Co-Founder of KUNGFU.AI. Recorded from Austin, San Francisco, and Charleston, they explore Austin’s tech evolution from B2B roots to today’s startup boom, AI’s real-world impact beyond the hype, and how businesses can leverage domain-specific data for transformative results—like one client’s shift from 48-hour manual loan approvals to 9-second AI decisions, driving a $250M market cap surge. Ron shares hard-won lessons from 8+ years in AI, including why generative tools alone aren’t enough and how agentic AI will reshape work faster than expected.
The conversation tackles critical challenges: Why 80% of AI work is data cleanup ("garbage in, garbage out"), how biased datasets risk perpetuating discrimination, and when AI isn’t the solution. Ron and Jerry debate workforce fears (augmentation vs. job loss), regulatory blind spots in social media/defense, and the irony of AI disrupting programming itself. They emphasize responsible AI: prioritizing ROI over hype, auditing data for fairness, and focusing on proprietary insights—not just chatbots. Closing with actionable advice, Ron reveals how Kung Fu AI helps clients avoid "AI-washing" while preparing for the agentic future.
