Go behind the scenes with Nick Lippis and Andrea Witt as they reveal how one of the most trusted enterprise AI events comes to life. From keynote planning to real-world use cases, from SONiC-powered infrastructure to the Triple-T presentations, this episode gives you a rare peek into the strategy and structure that power the AI Networking Summit.

You’ll hear how the agenda is hand-built from a blank canvas, why peer-led conversations matter more than vendor pitches, and what to expect from major sessions, including a can’t-miss fireside chat with John Chambers on the disruptive power of AI.

If you’ve ever wondered how an event like this gets made or why it matters more than ever, this is your inside look.

In this episode, Nick Lippis talks with Neil Anderson from World Wide Technology to unpack how AI (especially agentic AI) is driving a fundamental shift in enterprise infrastructure. From data gravity and edge computing to lifecycle automation and the limitations of legacy routing protocols, they explore the urgent need to rethink architecture for a real-time, data-intensive future. Learn how World Wide Technology’s Advanced Technology Center is helping enterprises navigate this transformation and what leaders must do now to stay ahead.

In this episode of Built for Trust, Nick and Helen Gu from InsightFinder explore how AI is transforming the way complex systems are monitored, maintained, and managed long before human teams even know there’s a problem. Helen shares a fascinating journey from early neural network experiments at NASA to building cutting-edge unsupervised learning systems that detect invisible patterns in massive data environments.

You’ll hear how today’s AI isn’t just surfacing alerts, it’s identifying root causes, reducing noise, and driving proactive resolution. We dig into the limitations of rule-based monitoring, the rise of edge intelligence, and how distributed AI models are redefining enterprise reliability.

Plus, real-world stories: a slow router that silently triggered a massive system crash, and the surprising role a forgotten Redis cache played in false fraud detection.

Whether you're a practitioner or decision-maker, this conversation will change how you think about what AI is truly capable of and what’s coming next.
