With each start of a new year, it is always a good idea to set goals for personal development to aim for, more so for business executives. Undoubtedly, artificial intelligence (AI) has moved front and center in any conversation among C-suite executives on what will most impact their organizations in the future. But my guess is that beyond the generalities of what AI is capable of, there is only a small percentage of C-suite executives who are intimate with the specifics of AI mainly because there is a dearth of convenient and simplified ways to study AI.
Well, despair no more. A good friend and a fellow member in the Rotary Club of Makati, Roger Collantes, founder and CEO of Asian Institute of Digital Transformation, could very well provide the solution. Roger is considered a visionary leader with over 30 years’ experience in educational innovation, organizational transformation, and digital integration servicing numerous organizations across Asia. He will spearhead RCM’s AI Academy initiative in Rotary year 2025-2026 under President-elect Eddie Galvez. The write-up below is a sampling of how Roger can provide a simplified, easy to understand treatise on AI.
Technology is shifting dramatically. AI isn’t just a trend; it’s a cornerstone of our business strategies. For senior executives, understanding AI is crucial. At the Asian Institute of Digital Transformation, we’ve championed inclusive AI education since the Covid-19 pandemic. Let’s explore the three types of AI and how quantum computing will shape our future.
Navigating the complex world of AI can feel overwhelming. Many leaders struggle to keep up with advancements and to understand their implications.
Here’s a clear path forward: demystify AI by understanding its three main types:
1. Predictive AI: The Weather Forecaster
•Think of a weather forecast guiding your picnic plans. Predictive AI analyzes historical data to forecast future events. Netflix uses it to recommend shows based on your viewing habits, helping you make informed choices. Turn to page 10
· Harnessing predictive AI allows you to anticipate customer needs and stay ahead of the competition.

2. Generative AI: The Creative Partner
•Imagine a talented artist creating masterpieces. Generative AI produces new content from existing data, like ChatGPT crafting articles and marketing copy.
•This technology can streamline processes, enhance creativity, and unlock new growth avenues.
3. Agentic AI: The Autonomous Assistant
•Picture a personal assistant who anticipates your needs. Agentic AI makes decisions and manages tasks autonomously, freeing you to focus on strategic initiatives.
•This can revolutionize operations, enhancing productivity and driving results.
Remember, technology should enhance our humanity, not replace it. Aim to be technologically human — leveraging AI while maintaining core values and connections.
It’s natural to fear AI’s impact on jobs and industries. Instead, be driven by passion. AI is a tool for empowerment, augmenting your capabilities and those of your team.
Proactively seek innovation opportunities. Embrace lifelong learning and encourage your teams to explore new technologies. This positions your organization as a leader.
Recent advancements in quantum computing, like Google’s Willow and NVIDIA’s H100, are set to accelerate AI applications. Imagine switching from a bicycle to a high-speed train; quantum chips process complex data at dizzying speeds. This technology is a call to action for transformation now.
As leaders, you have the power to guide your organizations into the future of AI. Embrace these technologies and foster a culture of innovation. By understanding AI’s impact, you can navigate change confidently.
Let’s create a future where technology and humanity coexist harmoniously. Together, we can shape a world where passion drives progress. It’s never too late to upgrade yourself — stop procrastinating and act now!
Until next week… OBF!
