Listen Later

AI is accelerating faster than most IT organizations can keep up, and I&O leaders are feeling the impact. In this episode, Gartner experts Autumn Stanish and Paul Delory break down what AI's rapid rise really means for IT operations, and why doing nothing is no longer an option.

Drawing from their Opening Keynote presented at Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference, Autumn and Paul reveal the risks, realities and opportunities behind AI agents — and the urgent changes I&O teams must make to stay in front of the business instead of falling behind it.
