How do you build a long-term AI career that survives every hype cycle?
I interviewed Denis Rothman, a 40-year AI veteran who has delivered solutions to Airbus, Disney, Air France, and more.
In this video you will find out what actually matters for AI engineers in 2026 and beyond.

Unlike most AI career advice online, this interview focuses on the skills that kept Denis relevant through multiple AI winters, hype cycles, and now the ChatGPT era. Spoiler: it's not about code.

What You'll Learn:
The #1 foundational skill for AI engineers (not programming)
How to become a Subject Matter Expert (SME) and future-proof your career
Why most AI tutorials fail in production environments
The business strategy that beats IBM and MIT on enterprise AI projects
How to build trust with CEOs and land long-term contracts
Why "the sum of exceptions" explains AGI's limitations
The mindset shift from coder to irreplaceable AI engineer
