How do we embrace AI without losing the human element?
In this episode, we sit down with Mary Kotch — AI Fellow at C10 Labs and seasoned technology leader — to explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, healthcare, and the future of work.
From hand-keying research data at Penn State to building cutting-edge agentic workflows, Mary shares a practical roadmap for navigating the AI revolution.
💡 Key Topics We Explore:
🤖 The Rise of Agentic AI
AI is moving faster than most organizations realize. Tasks that once required expensive SaaS systems and months of implementation can now be built in hours with highly customized workflows.
We discuss:
• Why traditional software models are being challenged
• How AI is enabling personalized enterprise solutions
• What this means for the future of SaaS
🏥 AI in Healthcare & Preventative Care
Some of AI’s most meaningful impact is happening in healthcare.
Mary shares examples of AI helping vulnerable communities through:
• Medication reminders for elderly populations
• Predicting doctor visits before crises happen
• Risk mitigation for insurers and clinicians
• Real-time support for doctors and nurses
🏢 Why Corporate AI Adoption Is Lagging
Technology is accelerating — but many organizations are not.
We unpack:
• Why legacy industries struggle to adopt AI
• The coming shift as leadership generations change
• Why companies need a stronger data and cybersecurity lens
🚀 Mary’s Advice for Leaders: Slow Down to Scale Fast
Instead of rushing into AI, Mary recommends a practical approach:
✅ Document current workflows first
✅ Repurpose teams into AI champions
✅ Experiment with the right models (Claude, Gemini, Llama)
✅ Use LLMs strategically to redesign operations
This conversation is a grounded, human-centered look at where AI is headed — and how organizations can adapt without losing sight of the people behind the technology.
