Ep 76 | The Space-AI-Quantum Nexus Challenging Governance

AI governance is already struggling to keep pace. Add quantum computing and space infrastructure, and the challenge becomes exponentially harder. In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller sits down with technology governance specialist and researcher Preetha Bedi to explore the growing convergence between AI, space, and quantum technologies—and why this nexus is creating entirely new categories of systemic risk.

The Real Reason Your AI Project Is Stuck in Pilot Mode

Ever wonder why so many enterprise AI projects never make it past the pilot stage? It’s not the AI—it’s the foundation. In this video, we break down why rushing into complex models without fixing inconsistent data, fragile pipelines, and afterthought governance is a recipe for failure. Fix the basics first!

Why Open Table Formats are Only Half the Solution for Modern Platforms

Are you actually building an open data platform, or are you just using open source file formats inside a new type of vendor lock-in? Many organizations assume that migrating to Apache Iceberg or Parquet automatically makes their data architecture open. However, true architectural freedom requires a strategy that spans across your entire data estate—not just the storage layer.

Ep 75 | Why Enterprise AI Still Breaks at Scale with Ravit Jain

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.

From Analytics Platform to an AI Operating System: Data Lakehouse in the Agentic AI Era

The lakehouse architecture was developed with the mission to combine the unstructured scale of the data lake with the structured performance of the data warehouse. This shift unified enterprise data and delivered the first true "single source of truth". But in 2026, the mission has expanded.

AI Inference for Mission-Critical Applications | Run AI Where Your Data Lives

What happens when your AI system stops responding in the middle of a critical decision? This demo shows how organizations run AI inference for real-world applications like pneumonia detection to: See how Cloudera AI Inference Service enables teams deploy and monitor multiple models with full control, predictable costs, and no dependency on external APIs, so mission-critical AI keeps working when it matters most.

Ep 73 | Out of This World AI: Inside Spaceflight with Jeanette Epps

Human spaceflight is one of the few domains in which data and human judgment must work together flawlessly under extreme pressure. That makes it a powerful lens for understanding what it takes to build resilient, intelligent systems here on Earth. In this Women Leaders in Technology spotlight episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller sits down with former NASA astronaut Dr. Jeanette Epps to explore what complex, high-stakes environments can teach us about AI.
