Get Ready For AI On Everything, Everywhere All At Once

Get Ready For AI On Everything, Everywhere All At Once

Forbes08-04-2025
As AI proliferates across machines, organizations must carefully choose operating environments. Trusted advisers can help.
The prevailing theme at this year's NVIDIA GTC conference was that AI will run virtually everywhere. If NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's latest epic keynote proves prophetic, every machine is a potential AI node possessing ever-evolving intelligence.
The future is here; it's just distributed across machines. Many, many machines—from computers large and small to cars and robots. AI also informs digital twins, in which software representations of complex physical systems dot our organizational matrices.
We have the technology to make AI better than it was. Fueled by data, AI will be better, faster and more intelligent. AI nodes will continue to run courtesy of GPUs, high-speed networking, connective software tissue, as well as with the help of beefy servers and vats of digital storage.
These technologies are meticulously governed by various command-and-control constructs across public and private clouds, on-premises and extending tendrils out to the edge on PCs.
Most organizations pursuing an AI strategy today are targeting the deployment of generative AI powered by LLMs, whose applications generate content or ferret out information. These organizations constitute a growing enterprise AI market.
At its core, enterprise AI is about applying AI technology to the most critical processes in your business, driving productivity where it matters most. This could range from boosting employee productivity to augmenting customer experiences to grow revenues.
When used strategically—targeted at the right areas in the right way—enterprise AI empowers organizations to refine what sets them apart and enhances their competitive edge.
Imagine a bank crafting an LLM-fueled digital assistant that helps retrieve critical information for customers, potentially helping them to decide how best to allocate their money. Or a healthcare organization that uses a prescriptive GenAI solution to help draft notes on patient exams or provide helpful context to physicians during exams.
Seventy-eight percent of organizations surveyed by Deloitte expect to increase their AI spending in the next fiscal year, with GenAI expanding its share of the overall AI budget.
When it comes to executing their AI strategies, organizations will make technology architecture decisions based on what they are trying to do with their AI use cases, as well as their experience and comfort level.
While some may run GenAI models from public cloud providers, others will prefer running GenAI workloads on-premises due to concerns about curbing operational costs, which can spiral if not managed properly.
Organizations embarking on AI journeys for the first time may feel more comfortable running GenAI workloads on-premises, where they can control and manage their own data, or more specifically, the secret sauce also known as IP. For organizations governed by data sovereignty mandates, on premises may be the only option.
Others requiring near real-time performance will look to the edge of networks, where latency is lower.
Today, many of these solutions will be powered by servers in corporate datacenters, or even somewhere along the edge of the network. Yet even those network boundaries are expanding as more developers run LLMs locally on AI PCs and workstations. This would have been impossible even two years ago; soon it will be standard practice.
Ultimately, technology decisions must align with the desired outcomes and each organization must make its own deployment decisions based on their goals.
With AI permeating every machine with silicon and circuits, organizations must choose the platform (or platforms), that provide the best scalability, security and business value for each use case.
Deploying GenAI for the first time can be fraught with complexities; even the most robust organizations fear the unknown. But don't fall prey to inertia.
There's no better time to embrace enterprise AI to operate critical AI applications and services in your datacenter or at the edge—where you can control and monitor performance, security and other factors that help you best protect and serve your business.
Wherever organizations choose to operate their GenAI solutions, they must lean on trusted advisers for help. They will help guide your AI strategy, determine use cases as well as how to right-size infrastructure components to run your solutions optimally.
And remember, in a world where AI is running in everything, everywhere and all at once, data remains your most precious fuel. Organizations must shore up their data estates to properly take advantage of GenAI.
The right advisor will help you prepare your data to be consumed, from understanding how to clean and classify data to understanding how to best bring it to bear on targeted use cases.

Billionaire Mark Cuban Spends a Lot of Time on His Emails

Here's how the tech billionaire gets his inbox from 1,000 emails to 20 in one day (with barely any AI). Despite all the advancements in technology, billionaire investor Mark Cuban, 66, spends most of his day reading and responding to emails. In a Wednesday interview with Business Insider, Cuban said that he receives "700 to 1,000 emails" a day through his Gmail account, and he uses three phones, two Android and one iPhone, "to manage everything."

He praised email for being "asynchronous," meaning that he can respond at any time from wherever he is in the world, and ubiquitous because "everyone" has an email address. Responding to a message is also "fast," especially with Google's auto-reply suggestions, Cuban said. Cuban says he keeps his inbox organized with folders and has "never" considered hiring someone to help manage his emails. He is only away from his inbox for a full day or longer for "extraordinary situations, like a special event for a family member," he told BI. Cuban says he uses his unread emails as reminders of what he needs to get done that day. He only uses AI to write the autoreply messages, preferring instead to personalize longer emails and noted that he would rather process emails than sit through "long, boring meetings," or send a Slack message or text because he can quickly search through emails years later. "I have emails going back to the 90s," Cuban told BI. Mark Cuban. Photo by Julia Beverly/WireImage Still, using Gmail could pose a cybersecurity risk. Cuban's Google account was hacked in June 2024 after he received a call from a fake Google employee. The bad actor said that Cuban's Gmail had an intruder and faked Google's recovery methods to receive the credentials for the account. The hacker got access to Cuban's email and locked him out. The hacking hasn't stopped Cuban's love of email, however. Cuban rose to fame as an investor on ABC's "Shark Tank" for the last 15 seasons, appearing in his final episode in May. He told CNBC that same month that he invested about $33 million in businesses during his time on the show and received $35 million in cash returns. He holds equity in those businesses that are now worth at least $250 million, he disclosed.

He grew the company to nearly $36 million in annual sales and 80 employees before selling it to CompuServe, a subsidiary of H&R Block, for $6 million in 1990. Cuban then founded AudioNet, the first video streaming company in the world. The startup, which became was sold to Yahoo for $5.7 billion in 1999, making Cuban a billionaire. In 2022, Cuban co-founded Cost Plus Drug Company, an online discount pharmacy that delivers more than 2,300 prescription medications. Cuban is now worth $8.6 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Liberation Day for American AI

The U.S. economy has proven resilient amid the Biden regulatory onslaught and President Trump's tariff whipsaw, and one reason is investment in artificial intelligence. Credit the Trump team for trying to keep America's latest golden goose alive. The White House on Wednesday proposed a hodgepodge of policies to ensure that China doesn't steal an AI march. The goal is to liberate innovators from burdensome regulation, bulldoze impediments to new data centers, and 'hyper-scale' private investment, to borrow an industry buzzword.
