Is AI really eliminating jobs, or is it redefining skills?

In this episode of Technovation, Peter High speaks with Ehren Powell, Chief Digital Officer of Marathon Petroleum Corporation, about leading digital transformation at one of America’s largest and most complex industrial enterprises. Powell shares how he is building a skills-first organization—decomposing roles, augmenting capabilities with AI, and reassembling work around differentiated processes.

Key topics include:

  • Why AI should be treated as a value multiplier—not a strategy

  • How data contextualization unlocks massive sensor environments

  • The creation of data domain ownership across the enterprise

  • Applying edge technology and AI to improve safety and reliability

  • Why curiosity and reinvention define the future workforce
