Once a technology gets good enough, the only real ceiling left is what you can imagine for it. Satya Tammareddy and Rowena Westphalen watch OpenAI's models improve week by week, and work closely with organisations implementing AI across multiple industries. In their view, the hard part isn't the limits of the tools. It's the pace. Even people working at the frontier can't quite get their bearings before the next model lands. No wonder everyone else feels like they're chasing something that keeps moving. The upside, they'd argue, makes the vertigo worth it. If you can dream it, you can probably build it now.

Satya leads OpenAI's go-to-market across Australia and New Zealand. Rowena leads Applied AI Architecture, whose forward deployed engineers build inside a customer's business rather than handing over a finished product.

From moving beyond traditional software implementations to embedding forward-deployed engineers directly inside teams, Rowena and Satya share front-line insights from working alongside some of Australia and New Zealand’s most ambitious organisations. Whether you are a founder scaling internal tools or an executive rethinking your company's core value chain, this conversation offers a practical roadmap for navigating the pace of modern AI development.
