Great morning attending the Pittsburgh Technology Council & Fortyx80's CIO Insights event, moderated by Pedro Barelli of CGI. The panel included Michael Keslar of BNY, Kathleen Lovett of VSP Vision Care, Deepak Nayyar of Pittsburgh International Airport, and Stan Waddell of Carnegie Mellon University. AI is no longer theoretical—it's actively reshaping business models, processes, and careers. CIOs are not just tech leaders but organizational change agents. What stood out most was how unified the message was around data #readiness, responsible #governance, and relentless education to drive value beyond the hype. At Data Ideology, we often say strategy doesn’t start with the tech—it starts with the #data. How are you preparing your organization to turn data into value in an AI-powered future? #PittsburghTech #PittsburghTechnologyCouncil #CIOInsights #ResponsibleAI
