Having studied innovation cultures across 30+ countries, he highlights AI as the defining force set to transform business models, decision-making, and customer engagement at unprecedented speed.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Rowan, generative AI is more than a tool\u2014it is becoming the invisible infrastructure of modern organisations, comparable to electricity. From automating processes and creating marketing campaigns to accelerating drug discovery and developing carbon-negative materials, AI is rapidly embedding itself into every operational layer.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet true innovation, he stresses, is not about titles or departments; it requires a cultural shift. Leaders must decentralise decision-making, embrace cognitive diversity, and empower teams to experiment without immediate pressure for returns. Authentic innovation emerges when organisations protect unconventional thinkers and foster environments where new ideas can flourish.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rowan\u2019s experience as an investor in 180 startups reinforces this point: resilience, passion, and solving real problems drive transformative ventures. Even crises, he notes, can become catalysts for reinvention if organisations adopt transparency and bold strategies for long-term growth.<\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/aijourn.com\/david-rowan-on-why-ai-will-reshape-business-faster-than-the-internet-ever-did\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/aijourn.com\/david-rowan-on-why-ai-will-reshape-business-faster-than-the-internet-ever-did\/<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n<p class=\"lead\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Rowan, founding Editor-in-Chief of WIRED UK and a global advisor on digital transformation, argues that artificial intelligence represents a far greater disruption to business than the internet or mobile ever did.
