Franny Hsiao, Salesforce: Scaling enterprise AI
Scaling enterprise AI requires overcoming architectural oversights that often stall pilots before production, a challenge that goes far beyond model selection. While generative AI prototypes are easy to spin up, turning them into reliable business assets involves solving the difficult problems of data engineering and governance. Ahead of AI & Big Data Global 2026 in […]

Databricks: Enterprise AI adoption shifts to agentic systems
According to Databricks, enterprise AI adoption is shifting to agentic systems as organisations embrace intelligent workflows. Generative AI’s first wave promised business transformation but often delivered little more than isolated chatbots and stalled pilot programmes. Technology leaders found themselves managing high expectations with limited operational utility. However, new telemetry from Databricks suggests the market has […]

Balancing AI cost efficiency with data sovereignty
AI cost efficiency and data sovereignty are at odds, forcing a rethink of enterprise risk frameworks for global organisations. For over a year, the generative AI narrative focused on a race for capability, often measuring success by parameter counts and flawed benchmark scores. Boardroom conversations, however, are undergoing a necessary correction. While the allure of […]

Scaling AI value beyond pilot phase purgatory
Scaling AI value from isolated pilots to enterprise-wide adoption remains a primary hurdle for many organisations. While experimentation with generative models has become ubiquitous, industrialising these tools (i.e. wrapping them in necessary governance, security, and integration layers) often stalls. Addressing the gap between investment and operational return, IBM has introduced a new service model designed […]
