Your procurement AI can summarize a contract. Can it stop your company from overpaying? If a buyer still opens five systems, reconciles the data, chases the supplier and checks the invoice by hand, very little has changed. For CIOs, that's the real test of any procurement AI investment. #MagenticPartner

Big night in Orlando. The Innovate Awards reception with @TMobileBusiness is tonight at 7:15 PM on the Cabana Deck at the Dolphin Hotel, smack in the middle of Gartner IT® Symposium/Xpo™ The Innovate Awards are all about companies that took 5G and connected tech and did something real with it. Hospitals, retailers, banks, folks actually running their business on this stuff. Those are my favorite stories to chase, so expect plenty from me this week. If you're at the Symposium, grab a drink with me on the Cabana Deck tonight. RSVP here: secure.t-mobile.com/ARIOdyXW… #InnovateAwards #GartnerSYM #5G #TMobileForBusiness

Spectrum AI Accelerator Brings AI Computing Closer to Where Data Is Created, Enabling Faster, More Responsive Applications Spectrum Business Brings AI Computing to the Edge of the Network as shown at SCTE TechExpo 26 At SCTE TechExpo 26, Spectrum Business made several announcements demonstrating how its Spectrum AI Accelerator Platform combines Spectrum Edge Computing Infrastructure (ECI) and connectivity to bring AI computing closer to where data is created. This approach enables low-latency, secure, and scalable AI applications across enterprise, cloud, and edge environments. Spectrum is working with leading AI innovators, including Cast AI, HP, Hydra Host, World Wide Technology (WWT), and NVIDIA, to expand the possibilities for AI at the network edge. Here is a closer look at these collaborations: Cast AI: Integrates NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs hosted on Spectrum’s Edge Computing Infrastructure, helping provide access to AI computing resources across hyperscale cloud environments through Spectrum’s network. HP: HP Z Boost delivers on-demand shared GPU resources for AI, rendering, and visualization workloads. HP ZGX Nano and ZGX Fury provide enterprise ready AI workstations designed to bring AI capabilities closer to where data is generated and used. Hydra Host: Partners with Spectrum to commercialize its AI Factory platform on ECI, expanding access to AI infrastructure and GPU resources for organizations seeking advanced AI capabilities. World Wide Technology (WWT) and NVIDIA: Collaborate with Spectrum to advance distributed edge AI infrastructure for physical AI applications, including robotics and industrial automation. These applications can benefit from secure, low-latency computing closer to the devices and machines they control. Bringing AI Computing Closer to the Action Spectrum has begun distributing computing power across its network, using more than 1,000 smaller edge facilities already embedded in its infrastructure. The company says this approach can place computing capacity within milliseconds of hundreds of millions of connected devices in homes and businesses across the United States. This brings computing closer to where data is generated. Spectrum aims to make AI applications faster, more responsive, and better suited to real-time tasks. This is an important development as AI evolves beyond answering questions and generating content. Increasingly, AI is being used to control or interact with physical machines, robots, sensors, real-time video systems, and other connected devices. These applications require speed, reliability, and security. A robot must respond immediately to changing conditions on a factory floor. If its instructions must travel to a distant data center and back, the delay could affect how quickly and accurately it responds. In applications such as robotics and industrial automation, even small delays can matter. That is where edge computing becomes increasingly important. By moving computing resources closer to the devices they serve, Spectrum’s ECI, enhanced by NVIDIA accelerated computing platforms, is designed to support applications that require rapid responses and reliable connectivity. Working with Cast AI, HP, Hydra Host, WWT, and NVIDIA, Spectrum demonstrates how this distributed infrastructure can support emerging AI workloads. The demonstrations include robotics applications that illustrate the potential of combining AI computing with low-latency network connectivity. Why AI at the Edge Matters AI is moving from the digital world into the physical world. As that transition continues, computing power must be available closer to the places where decisions are made and actions take place. Cloud computing will remain important, but not every AI application can depend on sending information to a distant data center. Some applications need to process information and respond immediately. Spectrum Business is positioning its network and edge infrastructure to address this growing need. The combination of distributed computing, advanced GPUs, and connectivity could help businesses develop and deploy new AI applications across industries. The broader lesson is that the future of artificial intelligence will depend on more than increasingly capable AI models. It will also depend on the infrastructure that delivers computing power where it is needed, when it is needed. Spectrum’s AI Accelerator initiative offers a look at how network providers can play a larger role in that future, helping bring AI out of centralized data centers and closer to the people, businesses, devices, and machines that will use it.

You’ve heard of “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later.” But what about “Trust Now, Forge Later”? ➡️ Harvest Now, Decrypt Later = Steal encrypted data today to decrypt with future quantum computers. ➡️ Trust Now, Forge Later = Use future quantum computers to break digital-signature cryptography and forge credentials or impersonate trusted parties. Michael Fasulo at @Commvault introduced me to this second risk. Think malicious software updates that appear legitimate. The target is digital trust, not just confidential data. Does your quantum-readiness roadmap cover both? @Commvault Partner

Your next AI crisis may not start with a model failure. It may start with an auditor asking one simple question: “Why did the AI make that decision?” If you can’t answer, you are in trouble. #IFSpartner #IFSUnleashed
