In Episode 8 of Webmethod Unplugged, Robert McKay sits down with Vito Foderaro, technology leader at IBM, to unpack the operational realities of Agentic AI, governance, and emerging quantum risk.

As enterprises move beyond generative AI into autonomous workflows, the conversation shifts from experimentation to accountability. Vito explains why governance and security are often conflated, how uncontrolled AI spending can spiral quickly, and why foundational business discipline remains the most important safeguard.

The discussion also explores quantum readiness, the concept of Q-Day, and why organizations must begin preparing for cryptographic disruption now, not when it arrives.

This episode delivers a clear message: AI transformation requires inventory, cross functional leadership, and sound business principles.
