As substantial plans to invest in AI and the cloud take shape, do CIOs at enterprises want to develop both resources together to maximize the potential they offer?

Leadership at enterprises may have hard choices to make on the resources they put toward their technology implementations. What if a CIO is caught in a circumstance where they only have the means -- whether it is a constraint on personnel, time, or money -- to truly invest in cloud or AI, but not both? Where should they put in their energies?
Luiz Domingos, CTO for Mitel; Jon Kuhn, senior vice president of product for Delinea; Anshu Jain, co-founder and CTO with Outmarket AI; and Steve Williams, CISO, NTT DATA, tackled that and other questions in this episode of DOS Won’t Hunt.
Where does the conversation start in the C-suite on how to balance the development and investment into the cloud and AI? What is at stake if CIOs cannot steer the IT strategy to support cloud and AI? How far behind could a company fall if they don’t pursue both technologies vigorously?
