At a Percepta fireside chat with Hirsh Jain, General Catalyst's Hemant Taneja reflected on ChatGPT's launch as the first time a single technology forced every CEO in every industry and country to rethink strategy. His firm's stance: the world will be transformed by AI, so the question is what role to play. He champions "inclusive prosperity"—empowering people to transform themselves—which is why Percepta starts with healthcare, government, and financial services. His bet: as software gets democratized, relationships become the lasting advantage.
