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.
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.
Before You Scale AI, Fix Your Data Foundation
The new AI bottleneck is whether your enterprise data can be trusted, governed, and used at speed. Recorded live at NVIDIA GTC, this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast features Tore Sundelin of NetApp and Derek Elbert of World Wide Technology discussing why unstructured data, policy-based governance, data classification and unified AI data pipelines are becoming critical as enterprises push toward agentic AI and production-scale inference.
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.
Scaling AI Across the Workforce to Empower Every Employee
In 2024, organizations laid the groundwork for AI transformation, and now in 2025, it's time to cement your AI strategy. Join WWT experts David Rosenblatt and Mike Davis as they share insights from our 2025 Digital Workspace Priorities research report. You'll hear their unique perspectives on treating AI like a new employee and guidance on transitioning from proof-of-concept to organization-wide AI implementation so you can empower every employee.
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.
Cloud, FinOps and AI: What You Need to Know About Unit Economics, GPUs and the ROI Flywheel
AI has pushed cloud into overdrive. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, two of our top cloud experts — Jack French and Todd Barron — reset the approach and detail why cloud is the launchpad but portability is the strategy; how to start greenfield with containers and abstraction; what a real FinOps model for AI looks like (unit economics, tagging, token/GPU visibility); where neo clouds fit versus hyperscalers; and how to handle cross-cloud risk and skill gaps; and the governance moves that accelerate—not restrict—innovation.
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.
Invisible AI: What AI Leaders Can Learn from IHG Hotels & Resorts' AI Strategy
At IHG Hotels & Resorts, AI is being applied with a clear principle: make the employee more effective so the customer experience feels more human. That approach, according to IHG CTO Jolie Fleming, who joined us in our latest episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, offers a useful model for any leader trying to scale AI adoption without losing trust, control or business focus.
Agentic AI Is Coming for Software Development — Are Enterprises Ready?
As AI coding assistants move from novelty to necessity, enterprises are discovering that the real challenge is managing what happens before and after the code is created. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, WWT's executive AI advisor Nate McKie explains why faster code generation is only half the answer — and why leaders who don't reinvest the time they're saving are already falling behind.
Why Storage, Security and Data Readiness Now Decide AI Success
AI success now depends on whether your enterprise foundation is actually ready. Recorded live at NVIDIA GTC, this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast features WWT AI leader Mike Trojecki and Everpure VP of AI and Analytics Kaycee Lai discussing why business outcomes, secure data access, low-latency infrastructure, governance and storage architecture are becoming the real differentiators as organizations try to operationalize AI at scale.
How UAE-Based Core42 is Rethinking AI Infrastructure From the Ground Up
How do you build an AI environment the business can scale, security can defend, regulators can accept and teams can actually use? In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, Core42 CTO Raghu Chakravarthi and WWT EVP Kraig Ecker discuss why sovereignty extends beyond data residency, heterogeneous infrastructure is becoming non-negotiable and why agents will sharply increase the need for observability, security guardrails and scalable inference design.
