Our guest on the podcast this week is Derrick Harris, Founder at ARCHITECHT.

We discuss AI in the modern enterprise and why robots stealing jobs may not quite be a problem yet. We look at what enterprises should be thinking about to grow their AI practices in the future. The truth is, AI engines rely on an enterprise already having a strong data practice under control. It relies on big data capabilities, a culture that can accept it, and data infrastructures to be in place. Most companies are not there yet. This is a case where the market hype gets ahead of itself and AI is still a few years down the road for most enterprises.

We also discuss the open-source versus cloud debate with regard to Kubernetes, containers, and more.  It’s hard to say what the industry will look like in the next ten years, but clearly a whole new ecosystem of technology is emerging.
