Being at UnpromptedAI conference in SF this week seeing extent of using AI for vulnerability discovery and for accelerating fixes has me want to make a slight correction to this post: 1. I am short term *very* pessimistic 2. I am *even more* wildly optimistic …..I feel the need, the need for speed

Heading to @nvidia #GTC. I’m looking beyond the headlines to what actually matters for enterprises: • AI infrastructure for production workloads • Model efficiency + cost economics • Agentic systems in real workflows • Governance, security, and risk • Customer deployments at scale AI is shifting...

Smart metrics don’t just measure performance, they shape behavior. If we’re deploying #AI across the enterprise, we need guardrails against metric gaming from day one. Governance isn’t a brake on innovation, it’s what makes transformation durable. Especially as agentic systems enter ops. https://t.co/r792RxQbTa...
