About this episode

Samir Shah discusses the future of AI in Asia and its implications for work and leadership.

I didn’t expect my chat with HP’s Samir Shah to flip my entire understanding of the AI future of work… but that’s exactly what happened. In this episode, I dive into AI on the edge, hybrid work trends reshaping Asia, and how HP is building a startup ecosystem through Garage 2.0. Samir breaks down the real difference between cloud AI vs on-device AI, why Asia is leading global AI transformation, and what founders must know in 2025. We also get personal: his 31-year journey at HP, philosophies on leadership, and what “job fulfilment” really means in an AI-powered world. If you want a sharp, honest look at where AI technology is heading next, this is your episode.
