Episode 425
Monday, 4 May, 2026

Last week Governor Mike Braun today announced IN AI, a new statewide initiative focused on helping businesses grow, create jobs, and increase wages through the practical application of human-centered artificial intelligence. The initiative will be executed by the CEOs of Indiana Corporate Partnership (CICP) and will work directly with employers across the state to accelerate AI adoption in ways that strengthen businesses and expand opportunity for Hoosiers. Joining us this week is Ting Gootee, CICP’s EVP of Digital Adoption and Managing Director of Crossroads Health Ventures. She talks agbioscience, AI adoption and finding the one thing businesses need to solve for – not the dire need to launch a full-blown digital strategy right out of the gate. Highlights include: How CICP defines digital adoption in the context of its mission The work Ting is leading and what the organization aims to accomplish through its branded initiatives like AgriNovus Biggest headwinds businesses and organizations face when trying to adopt digital solutions, particularly in what are traditionally offline industries How Indiana is positioning itself to build a more AI-ready economy and the role of digital adoption within that transformation Striking a balance between short-term innovation wins and establishing sustainable, long-term impact across industries statewide to create real impact How digital adoption is changing the skills and education needed for the state’s future workforce The role of partnerships among business, academia and government in maintaining talent pipelines to keep pace with tech advancement (and where we sit in that journey today) How Ting views our opportunity to be a differentiated hub for technology advancement in Indiana Emerging trends and technologies that have Ting most excited What Indiana ideally looks like from a digital adoption standpoint over the next five-ten years Where to get more information on this initiative: https://www.cicpindiana.com/ai/
