The real cost of AI adoption at scale: What we've learned about security, spend, and sanity
In some ways, the invoice is the easy part. When it comes to AI adoption at scale, there are plenty of other considerations for measuring the level of effort on the one hand and the return on investment on the other.
In this panel, leaders share stories about how their organizations are managing this seismic shift from four different vantage points inside the enterprise. WEX SVP and Chief Information Officer Barry Driscoll owns the budget that funds it. BlackRock Head of Service Platform and Observability Olin Gay is responsible for running it. Rapid7 Vice President of Platform and AI Developer Experience Elaine Hardwick is accountable for helping engineers adopt it. And Grafana Labs CISO Joe McManus decides where the guardrails are.
Join us for a lively discussion of the realities of AI adoption — both the highs of breakthroughs and the troughs of despair, the cultural changes and the security conundrums — and what they think is worth doing next.
