Risk, Innovation & AI: What Jeff Bezos Would Do with Steve Anderson

In this episode of AIBiz, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Steve Anderson, best-selling author of The Bezos Letters, to unpack how business leaders can navigate the AI revolution. Drawing from Bezos’ principles and his own expertise in risk and technology, Steve explains why the greatest risk businesses face today is standing still. He shares how AI is not just a tech shift—but a thinking shift—and why companies must adopt a mindset of experimentation, fast decision-making, and customer obsession to stay relevant.

About the Guest:
Steve Anderson is a thought leader in business growth, risk, and emerging technology. He’s the author of The Bezos Letters, where he decodes Jeff Bezos’ 14 principles for business scale. With a background in the insurance industry, Steve now consults on AI strategy, helping leaders and organizations implement practical, human-centric approaches to tech.

Key Takeaways:

• AI isn’t just a tech revolution—it’s a leadership mindset shift.

• Bezos’ principles—like “encourage successful failure” and “generate high-velocity decisions”—are critical in AI adoption.

• Businesses must move from fear to curiosity, using AI as a thought partner, not a replacement.

• Small businesses can still thrive by building on top of foundational AI models instead of competing with them.

• Leaders must empower their teams with clarity, experimentation permission, and ethical guardrails.
