About this episode
This episode discusses the transition of AI from experimental use cases to core IT infrastructure with industry experts from CDW.
In this episode of Cisco SE Talks, we sit down with industry experts Joe Chenevey, AI Solutions Strategy Lead, and Cody Weaver, Cisco AI Team Lead from CDW to cut through the noise surrounding Artificial Intelligence. As AI moves from experimental "front-office" use cases to core IT infrastructure, organizations are facing a critical inflection point. Our panel explores the shifting landscape of AI integration, focusing on how businesses can move beyond the "demo" phase to achieve tangible, scalable results. We discuss the transition of AI ownership from lines of business to IT, the vital importance of security and governance in an era of "shadow AI," and why understanding the specific business problem is the only way to build a successful AI strategy. Whether you are looking to optimize your infrastructure or navigate the complexities of AI governance, this episode provides the practical context needed to stay ahead in an ever-changing technological landscape.
