Risk, Innovation & AI: What Jeff Bezos Would Do with Steve Anderson

In this episode of AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Steve Anderson, best-selling author of The Bezos Letters, to unpack how business leaders can navigate the AI revolution. Drawing from Bezos’ principles and his own expertise in risk and technology, Steve explains why the greatest risk businesses face today is standing still. He shares how AI is not just a tech shift—but a thinking shift—and why companies must adopt a mindset of experimentation, fast decision-making, and customer obsession to stay relevant.

About the Guest:Steve Anderson is a thought leader in business growth, risk, and emerging technology.
