In this episode of Mastering AI with the Experts, I sit down with Dona Sarkar — Chief Troublemaker at Microsoft, global AI & accessibility leader, entrepreneur, author, and fashion designer — to explore why human connection is still the most valuable asset in the AI era. We talk about the limits of automation, why data quality can make or break AI projects, and how leaders can adopt AI without losing their unique voice. Dona shares candid stories from running offline businesses, busts common AI myths, and reveals how to experiment your way to success.Whether you’re a business leader, tech pro, or just AI-curious, this conversation will challenge how you think about the balance between AI power and the human touch.
