A Blueprint for AI Readiness: Don’t Be the Ostrich
Welcome to Building AI Boston — where we explore the people and ideas shaping our AI future.
In this episode, we’re joined by Paul Baier, CEO of GAI Insights and Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School, to talk about what it really means to get AI-ready — as individuals, teams, and entire regions. From founding the AI Blueprint for Massachusetts to launching Boston AI Week and the wildly popular “AI Woodstock,” Paul shares what it takes to build a thriving, inclusive tech ecosystem.
We cover:
• The danger of “ostriching” — ignoring the AI wave instead of preparing for it
• How Boston is uniquely positioned to lead in AI talent, policy, and innovation
• Why small teams, human connection, and community leadership matter now more than ever
This conversation is part wake-up call, part playbook — and packed with practical ideas for anyone looking to pick up a shovel and get involved.
