Why hear from your CEO when you could hear from their AI agent instead? 🤖 At least, this is what companies like Meta are thinking about. Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is building an AI agent to help run the company. The agent wouldn't make any decisions, but it would support the CEO's decision-making process. That part is crucial. CEO and other executive-level agents are in a prime position to expose any of the organization's gaps in governance and compliance. And this is just the beginning of these types of agents. ✍️ Sean M.

Just as the enterprise is wrapping its mind around scaling AI in data centers, another seismic shift is emerging on the outskirts of corporate networks. I'm talking about edge and physical AI. Over the last two months, companies ranging from NVIDIA to AT&T, Booz Allen Hamilton, Cisco, Comcast, Dell Technologies, Dynatrace, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Personal AI and T-Mobile have been quietly laying the groundwork for the next generation of the internet and mobile computing infrastructure, and the next generation of enterprise applications that run on them, according to industry watchers. I spent the last few weeks having heady conversations with industry experts including Rob Strechay, Bob Wambach, Kevin Wollenweber, Torsten Volk, Michael Leone, Varun Raj, Bill Vass and Suman Kanuganti about what the next three to five years will hold for AI, cellular networks, robots, mobile phones, and of course, enterprise businesses. Kicker quote from Bill Vass: "When I was at the Pentagon, we commercialized GPS, and I remember telling people that everyone will have a laptop screen in their car. They thought I was crazy, but I never thought about Lyft and Uber and DoorDash -- it's very hard to know, when you enable a capability, how people will use it."

One of the more persistent mistakes in enterprise tech is treating governance like the thing that slows transformation down. A lot of the time, the opposite is true. Speed without ownership, decision rights and controls is what turns modernization into fragmentation, instability and technical debt.

What can help your data analysts and marketing teams communicate better? Agentic AI. 🤖 At least, this was the case for Lenovo, a global PC manufacturer with a technology catalog so dense even its workers can struggle to keep up. Like many longstanding companies, Lenovo's data was fragmented and spread across various systems, so front-line marketers couldn't access it easily. They deployed Adobe's AI-powered Data Insights Agent in an effort to automate marketing processes for data analysts and open data access to frontline marketers. ✍️ Don Fluckinger spoke with Lenovo's global e-commerce COO Derek Gominger about the decision process behind adopting this tool and how the company plans to use agentic AI. 🔗: https://bit.ly/4vsG9wb #AgenticAI #AI #AIstrategy #AIleadership #AgenticAIstrategy #AgenticAItools #AIinMarketing #MarketingAI #AIdata #Lenovo #Adobe #DataInsights

🧩 Fragmented AI infrastructure can be the reason AI apps that have successful trials in the lab ultimately fail in production. Most businesses assemble their AI stacks from parts. Each part is chosen with care and makes sense on its own. Yet, as AI becomes a more standard part of business operations, the seams between each part in the AI stack start to crack. Between latency, blind spots and other major issues, the costs of fragmented infrastructure add up. This sets the scene for converged architecture to take over, which brings all data into a single platform with shared governance, security and access control. ✍️ Stephen Catanzano of Omdia explores why enterprise AI workloads demand converged architecture over fragmented data stacks to meet governance and reliability at scale. 🔗 : https://bit.ly/4c92ebR #EnterpriseAI #AI #AIstrategy #AIinfrastructure #AIleadership #AIdata #DataManagement #ConvergedInfrastructure #DataInfrastructure #ITinfrastructure

Meta might be pushing forward on the capacity of agentic AI to move beyond automating processes to making enterprise executive decisions. Read Sean M.
