In this episode of The Exchange, Tim Whybourne is joined by Aaron Zamykal, Founder and CEO of Actualisation Group, one of Australia’s largest privately owned artificial intelligence firms.

Together, they unpack what AI really is, what it isn’t, and cut through the noise to explain how business leaders can think practically about adopting AI within their organisations. The conversation spans common misconceptions, frequent implementation mistakes, and where AI is already delivering tangible value across operations, decision-making, and productivity.

Aaron also explores the infrastructure underpinning the AI revolution, including the growing demand for computing power, data, and secure deployment, as well as the most relevant use cases for businesses today.

Having begun his career as a financial planner before founding Actualisation more than a decade ago, Aaron shares how the firm has grown into a global operation with four offices worldwide and a team of more than 120 specialists. Actualisation now designs, trains, and deploys private AI factories and agentic AI teams for organisations looking to harness AI’s benefits securely and at scale.

For founders and business leaders considering how (or whether) to implement AI, this episode offers a grounded, practical perspective on where to start and what matters most.
