Welcome to the third inning of the modern AI era and welcome to this week's theCUBE Research Insights, powered by ETR. In this special Breaking Analysis we assess the shift from the shock of “what is this Gen AI thing?” to “how do we make it work for us?” And how can we get agents to reliably take action to deliver the productivity gains the tech industry has promised. 

To do so, we're pleased to host our fifth annual data predictions power panel with collaborators from the Cube Collective, members of the Data Gang and some of the industry’s leading data analysts. With us today are five industry experts focused on data and related topics. Sanjeev Mohan of Sanjmo, Tony Bear of DB Insight, Dave Menninger of ISG Research, Kevin Petrie of BARC, and Andrew Brust of Blue Badge Insights.
