AI Proving Ground Podcast · 2026-01-28 · 31 min
Enterprise AI is moving out of pilots - and the infrastructure gaps are getting harder to ignore. In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, Intel’s Lynn Comp and WWT’s Mike Trojecki break down why treating enterprise AI infrastructure as a single hardware decision is a costly mistake. As agentic systems push AI into real operations, assumptions like “AI = GPUs” start to crack under pressure from power, cost, governance, and scale. The takeaway from 2025 is clear: performance alone isn’t the advantage. Fit is. We unpack how agentic AI is reshaping security models and centers of excellence, why disciplined architecture beats oversized builds, and what leaders need to plan for in 2026 to scale AI without locking into brittle, overbuilt systems. Because driving a Ferrari to run errands looks impressive - until you see the bill.
