Hero-Why everyone should be curious about AI
• Mar 20, 2026


As AI becomes more embedded in organizations, leaders face new questions: How can you communicate responsibly? How can you build trust? And how can you prepare teams for a future where human creativity and machine intelligence work side by side?

These are the types of questions Ronald Alepian, SVP and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at TD, challenges his teams to think about when it comes to AI.

Last summer, Alepian wrote an article for Forbes about why communications professionals should start embracing AI responsibly — instead of fearing or resisting it. He argues that it's not AI technology that might be threatening, but rather, our attitudes towards it. Those who become proficient in using AI at work might just be the ones who rise to the top, while those who eschew AI risk being left behind.

The key to staying ahead, according to Alepian, is to remain curious.

In the latest episode of The Banking on AI Podcast, host Grant McDonald and Alepian sit down to talk about the importance of curiosity, how communicators might use AI to enhance creativity and work more efficiently, and the career advice he gives those coming up in corporate fields.
