Beyond the Efficiency Trap: AI, Systems Thinking & the Evolution of Tech Leadership

In this episode, David Savage speaks with Alexey Boas, CTO for Latin America at ThoughtWorks, recorded live at Web Summit Rio. They unpack the risks of chasing AI efficiency without context—and why systems thinking, creativity, and human perspective are more important than ever. Alexey shares insights into the evolution from digital to intelligent organisations, what it really means to be an effective engineer in an AI-driven world, and how the role of the CTO must shift from operational oversight to strategic business transformation.
