Highlights
00:11 – Aaron introduces Ronak and shares how much he is looking forward to the CIO Summit specifically to hear how AI is empowering companies, not just with AI on its own, but how it’s interacting with cybersecurity, data modernization, and other areas. He asks Ronak what he is looking forward to seeing at the CIO Summit.

01:23 – Ronak says he’s interested in seeing former U.S. Deputy Federal CIO Maria Roat, and hearing what she has to say not only about AI on its own but also about cybersecurity. So many companies are going through security breaches across the globe, and Ronak is eager to hear what strategies bigger organizations such as the Federal government are implementing to tackle these issues in the real world.
02:33 – Aaron points out the pivotal role that AI is playing in the cybersecurity space to help with threat detection, which helps organizations be more preventative as a way of reducing risk. He wonders what other thoughts Ronak might have around customers telling their stories about technology solutions versus the vendors themselves.
03:38 – One of the things Ronak likes about Acceleration Economy and the CIO Summit is how they bring customers together to share their stories. Tech vendors will always be giving a sales pitch, but customers talk about how a particular product is helping them in their business transformation. They share the strategies in place that work, and the ones that don’t work. It’s not just about adopting AI tools or bringing in cybersecurity tools; it’s about getting these tools to the right place and making sure that they are working for a particular business or not. And it’s always best to hear from customers themselves to get real-world insights.
