Artificial Intelligence is dominating every conversation in tech right now, but how much of it is real progress and how much is hype?

In this episode of the Virtually Speaking Podcast, we sit down with industry analyst and cloud expert Dave Linthicum to take an honest look at the current state of AI adoption in the enterprise. From failed AI pilots and unrealistic expectations to the infrastructure, cost, and governance challenges that many organizations underestimate, Dave shares why so many AI initiatives struggle to deliver real business value.

Rather than focusing on the hype cycle, this conversation explores what it actually takes for enterprises to move from experimentation to production with AI. Dave also discusses the role of infrastructure teams, the risks organizations overlook when rushing into AI projects, and how companies can make smarter investments that deliver measurable outcomes.

If your organization is evaluating AI or already experimenting with it, this episode offers a practical reality check on what it takes to succeed.
