Enterprises are moving from AI pilots to full‑scale AI factories that turn data into trusted digital intelligence. Red Hat CTO Chris Wright and NVIDIA’s Justin Boitano unpack the "five‑layer cake" AI factory stack, from accelerated hardware and hybrid cloud infrastructure to models, agents, and production‑grade governance.

AI is reshaping electricity demand. What does increased demand, and the shape of that demand, mean for the electric grid? Ben Sooter, Director of R&D at EPRI joins the podcast to explain why most of an AI model’s lifetime energy use comes from inference rather than training, and how micro data centers located near underutilized substations can help deliver low‑latency AI services while strengthening grid resilience.

Alibaba.com president Kuo Zhang discusses how AI agents like Accio are reshaping global trade. He shares insights on automating complex B2B sourcing, compressing weeks of work into minutes, lowering barriers for solo entrepreneurs and SMEs, and what AI-native commerce will mean for the next decade.

Transit agencies are using AI and edge computing to keep bus lanes and bus stops clear — boosting on‑time performance, accessibility, and safety for riders. AC Transit CTO Ahsan Baig and Hayden AI CEO Marty Beard explain how bus‑mounted cameras and NVIDIA-powered edge AI automatically detect vehicles blocking bus lanes and stops, protect rider privacy by design, and are helping change driver behavior in the San Francisco Bay Area.
