Chris and Kate draw from their frontline experiences, and talk about AI adoption, governance and the race between offense and defense.

Nearly all companies — no matter the size or industry — are in some state of digital transformation. At the heart of those efforts is data. Without clean, clear, actionable data, digital transformation is nearly impossible. Join Brian Koehler, who leads WWT's data streaming practice, as he dives deep into the vital role data plays in digital transformation, how organizations should structure data governance to make the most of those transformations, and key technologies that are tying it all together.

Healthcare organizations face a perfect storm of cybersecurity challenges, from sophisticated ransomware attacks to a fluid regulatory environment to the complexities of digital transformation.

Adopting AI at the level of organizational transformation requires a cross-functional team of experts. To fully capture and evaluate AI team-building needs, we recommend establishing an AI Center of Excellence (CoE) from the outset. While at Cisco Live, we caught up with Monica Livingston, who leads Intel's AI Center of Excellence, and the Senior Director of WWT's AI Practice, Mike Trojecki, about the key decisions and people that need to be involved in building an AI COE from the ground up. We also talk with Monica and Mike about measuring ROI for AI strategies, emerging use cases they're seeing in the market and emerging trends taking place in the fast-moving AI industry.

Generative AI may sit atop the executive agenda, but few organizations are fully prepared to harness the full potential of AI and AI-powered technologies. While at Cisco Live, we caught up with Cisco's David Jensen and WWT's Justin van Schaik to talk about the need to modernize and scale enterprise data centers for the surging growth in AI. We also talk with David and Justin about managing AI environments and workloads and how Cisco Nexus HyperFabric AI clusters make it easy for enterprise customers to build infrastructure to run generative AI models.
