Technology Executives Review® Webinar on AI in the Enterprise
In this edition of the Technology Executives Review®, Alex Jarett is joined by guest industry analyst Loren Williams, who leads enterprise partnerships in the Midwest for PCs for People.
Each session covers the top headlines in AI in the Enterprise, Advanced Technologies, and Industry News, along with highlights from recent Technology Leadership Briefings.
This edition includes a special report segment on AI use in nonprofits and charities, where Alex and Loren look at how mission-driven organizations are adopting AI, where the gaps still are, and how PCs for People helps Technology Leaders retire old equipment responsibly while putting it to good use.
Key Takeaways:
- Microsoft Copilot has crossed 30 million paid seats, a sign that enterprise adoption has passed the early stage. The bigger question now is whether Technology Leaders are training people to use it well and protecting the data behind it
- Non-human identity is becoming one of the biggest security risks in AI. As AI agents start acting on behalf of employees, normal login systems are not built to handle this kind of machine-to-machine access, so Technology Leaders need new identity controls built for it
- Token pricing is likely to keep shifting. Some providers are lowering costs to win market share, while others are raising prices, so Technology Leaders should expect this to stay unpredictable for a while
- AI systems are moving beyond simple question answering. They are starting to take multi-step actions on their own, like pulling data and triggering other tools, which means companies need to modernize their data pipelines to keep up
- Amar Lingam, formerly of CDW and CA Technologies, shared a simple but important reminder: be a business person first, even if you are a technologist at heart
- Financial markets are increasingly demanding proof of return on AI infrastructure spend, and that pressure flows directly down to CIOs who now have to justify their own technology budgets
- A new Federal Reserve task force is tracking how AI is affecting productivity and jobs, work that could eventually shape monetary policy
- Leading AI labs are adding stronger safety measures to prevent their models from being misused for cyberattacks or biological research
Plus, you'll see featured highlights from the following Technology Leadership Briefings:
- Amar Lingam, Founder, Augmented AI, Spotlight Interview
- Richard Doran, Founder, Sierra ITS, The Technology Talent Market Is Shifting, Not Shrinking
