5m 9s
In this episode of the Tech Field Day Takeaways series, Stephen Foskett, Organizer and President of Tech Field Day, shares three key themes that emerged from AI Field Day 7.
Special-purpose AI is reshaping enterprise IT, with examples from Articul8, Digitate, and Fortinet. Enterprises are increasingly partnering with full-service AI providers such as HPE and Nutanix to simplify deployment and operations. And as AI adoption accelerates, organizations must confront the rise of shadow AI and take control of the data it generates, a topic raised by HYCU and echoed in delegate discussions.
The video also introduces Utilizing AI, a new weekly podcast from The Futurum Group and Techstrong AI. Hosted by Stephen Foskett and Futurum VP of AI Research Nick Patience, the show explores the technologies and strategies driving enterprise AI adoption.
