Is Judgment the Ultimate AI Skill? | AI Voices, Episode 4

AI adoption is moving from experimentation to enterprise impact. But what does it take to scale AI responsibly? In this episode of AI Voices, host Jesper Schleimann, SAP’s Head of Business AI for EMEA, speaks with Ignacio Bonetto, Manager of Emerging Technologies at @DamenShipyardsYT, and Ronald Schippers, Managing Director of VNSG, the Dutch SAP User Group. Together, they explore how organizations are moving beyond AI buzzwords and pilots toward real business value. The conversation looks at the shift from bottom-up experimentation to top-down strategic intent, the importance of change management, and why leaders must help teams build the confidence, literacy, and judgment needed to work effectively with AI. You’ll hear first-hand perspectives on how AI is changing knowledge work in industries like shipbuilding, why access to information is no longer the main challenge, and how “decision compression” can help organizations accelerate processes and rethink business models. The discussion also explores the human side of AI: accountability, leadership, workforce readiness, and the growing need for professionals who can evaluate what is valuable, right, and wrong. For business and technology leaders, this episode offers a grounded look at what it means to scale AI with purpose, governance, and human judgment at the center.
