What does AI actually change in heavy industry? Jonathan Green talks with Rick Carlisle — a lifelong technologist who started coding in COBOL — about AI in IT and the oil fields: using AI to add layers of safety rather than replace them, catching patterns in alarm and monitoring data, and why the data-center boom is even reviving nuclear power.

Key Takeaways: • Use AI to add layers of safety — don't trade existing safety for efficiency • AI shines at spotting patterns in alarm/monitoring data that humans miss • The data-center power demand is reviving nuclear • AI's real value is augmentation and speed, not replacing proven systems • "Artificial" is a label — the underlying reality (and the safety stakes) hasn't changed

Notable Quotes: "We throw the term 'artificial' on it, but the biology hasn't changed." — Rick Carlisle "I'd rather use AI to add more layers of safety than to replace the existing layers." — Jonathan Green
