AI Can’t Say “I Don’t Know” - Sol Rashidi on Judgment, Hallucinations & Leadership

Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than most leaders have time to process it.

But the real risk is not the technology.

It is the erosion of judgment.

In this episode of Drink Coffee. Do Cool Stuff., I sit down with Sol Rashidi to explore what AI can do, what it cannot do, and where leaders are getting it dangerously wrong.

Sol is a five-time C-suite executive and global AI and data leader who has built and governed large-scale AI initiatives inside some of the most recognized organizations in the world. She holds multiple patents in AI and data innovation and is a sought-after advisor and keynote speaker on the future of work, governance, and human amplification.

But this conversation is not about hype.

It is about leadership.

We unpack:

• The critical difference between using AI and doing AI
• Why AI hallucinations are a leadership and governance issue, not just a technical flaw
• The danger of mistaking confidence for competence
• How organizations should think about AI governance in practical terms
• Why outsourcing tasks is smart, but outsourcing thinking is not

Sol challenges the narrative that AI is primarily a cost-cutting tool and reframes it as something far more important: a human amplification tool that must be deployed with discipline, discernment, and accountability.

If you are a C-suite executive, board member, CISO, or leader navigating AI transformation, this episode will help you slow down, think clearly, and lead intentionally.

Because in the age of AI, the leaders who stay relevant will not be the ones who automate the fastest.

They will be the ones who think the best.
