5G technology is revolutionizing enterprise computing by enhancing data movement and connectivity. In this episode, Bill sits down with Jim Brisimitzis, Founder and General Partner at 5G Open Innovation Lab, to explore his career from Nortel to Microsoft and the transformative potential of 5G technology. Jim discusses the evolution of private 5G networks, enterprise use cases, and the critical role of connectivity in driving innovation.

---------

“My belief is this moment of AI, the evolution of 5G, the emergence of private networks, and edge as opportunities is truly a transformation point for the industry.”

“The network is evolutionary, but the use cases on the backend of those networks that they're now enabled is revolutionary.”

“I've seen these major waves of technology evolutions that got me really excited about 5G and Edge.”

How will progress at the edge change our homes, cars and the electrical grid? In this conversation, Bill sits down with Kai Hackbarth, Senior Tech Evangelist at Bosch Global Software Technologies for a wide ranging discussion around Kai’s work at the OSGI foundation, and the complexities of smart homes, smart vehicles and the challenges posed to the electrical grid.

---------

“Electricity is not the answer for cars. to call it like this. So, if everybody drives an electric vehicle, no grid can manage this.”

“The grid was never designed for renewable energy sources.”

“I think hydrogen will come, right? It's not yet ready for cars”

Organizations need access to digital infrastructure and communications networks to leverage AI in a cost effective way. In this episode, Bill sits down with Greg Cudahy, Global Leader of TMT and Global Industries AI Leader at EY, to discuss digital infrastructure in an emerging AI world. The two talk about the judgment calls we will have to make about AI and how culture impacts AI use.

---------

“The people part of generative AI is every bit as important to get traction as the technology is.”

“All the forecasts are saying that roughly 75 percent of the data over the next 10 years that we see, that's acted upon for AI or any other business use, is going to come from edge computing. It's a groundswell. This is a huge trend.”

“As edge computing rises, you're creating more points of entry for bad actors. So the importance of cyber has never been higher.”

“Moving all this data that AI requires means huge investment in communications networks, even more than we've got today…. People don't think about moving the data. They think about what I'm going to do with it. They don't think about what this gigantic swell of volume of data is going to go….Enabling communications infrastructure has got to be a priority for virtually every nation state right now.”
