Shub Agarwal (Founder of the AI Trust Lab at USC) flips the script. Stop over-investing in massive data overhauls. Instead, reverse your approach: start with a brutal business problem, pull only the specific data needed to solve it, and build incrementally. Chief Data & AI Strategy Officer Cindi Howson agrees that true value comes from scaling immediate business impact, not waiting for a flawless architecture that will never arrive.

As organizations rush to scale AI, many are learning that better models can’t compensate for weak data foundations. AI hype is everywhere, but operational readiness still isn’t. In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller sits down with Ravit Jain, founder of The Ravit Show and one of the leading voices in the global data and AI community, to explore the trends shaping the future of enterprise AI.

Kong's AI Gateway applies the same architectural pattern as the API Gateway — now governing LLM, MCP, and agent traffic at the infrastructure layer. Just as API gateways abstracted rate limiting, auth, and caching across microservices, AI gateways do the same for large language models and agents — with token budgets, semantic caching, and semantic routing replacing their REST equivalents. Kong breaks this into three layers: LLM Gateway, MCP Gateway for tool calls, and Agents Gateway for agent-to-agent traffic.#Shorts.

Understand how to close the gap between AI experimentation and enterprise production. Shub Agarwal, Founder of the AI Trust Lab at USC and author of Successful AI Product Creation: A Nine-Step Framework, shares his AI product management framework for taking enterprise AI strategy from demo to production, drawing on two decades of product leadership at Amazon and Fortune 50 firms. He breaks down why experimentation must tie directly to business OKRs, the four mindset shifts leaders need to scale AI responsibly, and how the AI Trust Lab is building a benchmark evaluation framework for AI model trust and governance.

AI innovation moves fast, but without compliant data access, even the best ML, AI, and analytics initiatives can stall. In this webinar roundtable, experts from Perforce Delphix, 3T Software Labs, and Redgate explore how organizations can accelerate AI delivery without compromising data privacy, security, or compliance. You’ll hear practical insights and real-world examples on how to remove one of the biggest bottlenecks in modern software and data workflows: access to safe, usable, production-like data.
