What We Learned at NVIDIA GTC 2026
At NVIDIA GTC 2026, the conversation shifted from model novelty to enterprise reality. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT Chief AI Advisor Tim Brooks explains why agentic AI, inference-heavy workloads and physical AI are forcing CIOs and CTOs to rethink infrastructure, governance, trust and leadership.
How to Scale Agentic AI Without Losing Control
AI is moving out of prototype mode and into production. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, recorded live at NVIDIA GTC, leaders from Cisco, NVIDIA and WWT unpack the real job in front of enterprise executives: how to scale agentic AI, secure AI factories, manage token economics and prepare infrastructure for an inference-heavy future.
The Shift from AI Pilots to AI Infrastructure
As organizations move beyond experimentation, compute has become a deciding factor in whether AI delivers real value or stalls before production. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT VP Neil Anderson, NVIDIA VP Chris Marriott and Cisco VP Daniel McGinniss talk about how organizations are rethinking where AI runs, how it's secured and how value is measured.
Why Production AI Exposes Security Gaps Organizations Can't Ignore
As enterprises move AI from experimentation to production, security failures are no longer isolated incidents—they are systemic risks embedded deep in infrastructure, data flows, and decision-making systems. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Istvan Berko, Cisco's DJ Sampath and NVIDIA's Ofir Arkin discuss why as AI becomes core infrastructure, security becomes the mechanism that determines whether that infrastructure scales or undermines itself.
The Network Is Becoming the Real Unit of AI Performance
As AI systems grow larger and more distributed, enterprises are discovering that performance, security and time-to-value depend less on individual components and more on how well the system moves, synchronizes and protects data at scale. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Justin van Schaik, Cisco's Dave Jansen and NVIDIA's Taylor Allison talk about how a well-designed network fabric extends time to value and decreases risk for AI initiatives.
Why the AI Factory Is Becoming the Enterprise's Next Critical Infrastructure
As organizations struggle to move beyond AI pilots, a new architecture — Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA — is emerging as a missing link between experimentation and real business outcomes. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Neil Anderson, Cisco's Kevin Wollenweber and NVIDIA's Chris Marriott discuss how the Secure AI Factory represents a shift from bolt-on protection to security built into the architecture itself.
Is Security Now a Prerequisite for AI Adoption? Inside Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA
As companies move from chatbots to agents, the hardest work isn't prompting — it's building an always-on, governable, cost-aware system that leaders can trust. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, Cisco's President and Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel, NVIDIA's Vice President, Americas Partner Organization Craig Weinstein and WWT CTO Mike Taylor discuss how Cisco's Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA is designed to close the gap between experimentation and execution by treating AI as infrastructure.
Why Observability Has Become the Control Plane for Enterprise AI
As enterprises rush to deploy AI, observability is emerging as the discipline that determines whether those investments create durable value—or quietly erode it. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's Ivan Wintersteiger, Cisco Splunk's Tapan Shah and NVIDIA's Shashank Sabhlok discuss why observability, when treated as foundational, becomes the connective tissue between infrastructure, applications, security and user experience.
Compressing Idea to Outcome (I2O): WWT Co-Founder and CEO Jim Kavanaugh on Why AI Coding Assistants Could Reshape the Enterprise
AI-powered coding assistants are rapidly compressing the time it takes to build software and delivering a competitive advantage that can lead to transformational outcomes. But according to WWT Co-Founder and CEO Jim Kavanaugh, the bigger shift is organizational: companies must rethink leadership, data strategy and workforce skills to compete in an AI-native world. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, Jim shares his vision for how coding assistants are emerging as one of the most practical and disruptive use cases in enterprise AI.
Executive Leadership in the Age of AI: Lessons from WWT Co-Founder and CEO Jim Kavanaugh
AI is reshaping business faster than any technology in history. But while employees are already using AI daily, enterprises are struggling to capture value at scale. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT Co-Founder and CEO Jim Kavanaugh explains why executive leadership is the critical factor in moving beyond pilots, how companies should build the right foundations for AI and why waiting on the sidelines may be the biggest risk of all.
The CEO's Job in the AI Era: Accelerating Idea to Outcome (I2O)
As AI spreads beyond developers into every workflow, the differentiator shifts from tools to leadership. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT Co-Founder and CEO Jim Kavanaugh argues that winning in AI will lean heavily on culture: how fast an organization can learn, adapt and change. The new leadership challenge is moving fast without creating downstream chaos.
