AI is both exposing and accelerating the fight against tech debt, but it’s not a silver bullet.

In this episode of HFS Unfiltered Stories, Saurabh Gupta, President at HFS Research, speaks with Amardeep Setty, Director – Global IS – Customer Experience, at Nissan Motor Corporation, and Pinak Kiran Vedalankar, Group VP Technology & International Head of Engineering at Publicis Sapient, about what it really takes to become “AI-ready.” The discussion goes beyond technology to focus on mindset, governance, data readiness, and the shift toward new operating models.
