On theCUBE Pod: AI doubters get loud, and IBM seeks competitive advantage
Americans have big concerns about artificial intelligence, but that hasn’t stopped OpenAI Inc., Nvidia Corp., IBM Corp. and others from charging ahead. Last week saw shares of Nvidia, CoreWeave Inc., Oracle Corp. and Nebius Group N.V. decline amid reports that OpenAI’s annualized net revenue was approximately $50 billion, roughly $20 billion below previously reported figures.

Get smart on it
Americans have significant concerns about artificial intelligence, yet major technology companies continue to advance their AI development and infrastructure investments. Industry analysts see current public skepticism as temporary and note that the AI market is shifting from training workloads toward inference, where companies generate revenue by putting AI models into practical use. IBM is positioning itself to compete by building hybrid AI operating infrastructure around open-source solutions rather than relying on proprietary models, betting that competitive advantage will come from customers' own data and processes rather than from the models themselves. Chipmakers like Marvell are also gaining attention as companies increase spending on AI infrastructure to support this inference-focused phase.

AI governance shifts to runtime as always-on agents spread
As enterprises move from debating artificial intelligence adoption to deploying it, AI governance has become the harder question. Autonomous agents now run around the clock across a sprawl of platforms, and controls built for deterministic software were never designed for them. At Dell Technologies Inc.’s “AI Leadership Symposium,” cost and control were recurring themes in enterprise […] The post AI governance shifts to runtime as always-on agents spread appeared first on
