In this episode, Triad welcomes Craig Colangelo, Senior Solutions Architect at PM Square, to discuss the convergence of analytics and artificial intelligence. Craig explains why tooling matters less than strategy, how natural language chat interfaces are democratizing data access for the 70% of organizations that have traditionally been left out, and why state and local governments may actually benefit from being later adopters. He shares how AI is compressing a century of progress into just a decade—and why the time to get on the bus is now, before it runs you over.
