Many traditional enterprises mistakenly believe that simply adopting cloud tools internally means they have a working AI strategy. In reality, true AI readiness requires breaking down entrenched data silos to expose engines to diverse, multi-application datasets.

In today's episode, MinIO co-CEO Garima Kapoor unpacks why scaling AI isn’t just a technical hurdle, it is a massive structural challenge that demands making "hard decisions inside your organization".

We explore the human tensions behind legacy tech transformations and why fundamental changes to systems and processes are doomed to fail without uncomfortable, top-down alignment from the boardroom.
