Send us a textIn this episode of DX Today, we examine the evolution of the enterprise AI landscape as it shifts from the initial discovery phase into a period of intense fiscal discipline. As we enter 2026, CIOs are grappling with the fear of missing ROI rather than the fear of missing out, with global cloud bills rising by double digits and value realization remaining elusive for most. We break down the challenges of scaling AI programs beyond experimentation, the risks associated with the mutation of shadow IT into agentic sprawl, and why horizontal adoption of generic chatbots...

Send us a textIn this episode of DX Today, we dive into the physical consequences of the generative AI revolution as it transitions from a software phenomenon into a massive industrial machine. By 2025, the narrative around artificial intelligence has shifted from model capability to the staggering reality of its resource consumption, with data centers now projected to consume up to twelve percent of the total United States electricity supply by 2030. We examine the pivotal shift from training costs to inference costs, revealing that the act of simply using these models now accounts for up to ninety...

Send us a textIn this episode of DX Today, we analyze the pivotal shifts from the World Economic Forum 2026 meeting in Davos, where the global conversation evolved from the initial hype of generative AI to what leaders are calling the Great Adaptation. We explore how the international community is moving beyond pilot projects into a new era of operational reality characterized by agentic orchestration, where autonomous systems execute complex multi-step workflows. With the IMF projecting a potential 0.8 percent boost to global growth, we dive into the infrastructure demands of this transition, examining why energy sovereignty and planetary...

Send us a textIn this episode of DX Today, we dive into the stark reality of the 2026 AI landscape, moving past the initial hype of 2024 into what experts are calling the ROI reckoning. While enterprise adoption remains at an all-time high of nearly 88 percent, a massive 840 billion dollar gap has emerged between infrastructure spending and actual business value. We explore how today’s leaders are navigating the transition from bolting on generic chatbots to refactoring their entire business for an agentic future. Drawing on the latest data from Wharton and McKinsey, we analyze why the cost of in...

Send us a textIn this episode of DX Today, we explore the definitive shift from generative chatbots to autonomous action as Agentic AI reaches production-grade maturity in 2026. While the dream of fully autonomous critical systems remains sidelined by safety concerns, the latest industry findings highlight a massive surge in ROI within non-critical business functions like customer support, internal IT helpdesks, and software coding assistance. We break down the evolution of these systems from the simple prompt-response models of 2024 to today’s multi-agent architectures that can perceive, reason, and execute complex workflows without constant human intervention. By focusing on...

Send us a textIn this episode of DX Today, we explore a pivotal technological fracture point in the hospitality and restaurant sectors as the industry shifts from Generative AI to Agentic AI. While previous years focused on the novelty of AI-generated text and images, 2026 marks the arrival of autonomous systems that do not just generate content but take direct action. We analyze the emergence of Large Action Models that can navigate software, manage inventory, and handle complex guest interactions without human prompts, a move driven by a market projected to exceed 260 billion dollars over the next decade...

Send us a textThis episode of DX Today, recorded January 17, 2026, examines the definitive market shift from generative AI to agentic AI—where systems move from answering questions to autonomously executing tasks. Hosts Alex and Mike break down the distinct strategies of the major players: OpenAI's "Operator" feature now handles complete transactions like booking flights without user intervention, Google's Gemini 3 generates custom interactive interfaces on demand rather than text responses, xAI's Grok 4.1 has pivoted toward emotional intelligence for creative and customer service applications, and Meta is winning the "physical world" with AI wearables and neural control bands th...

Send us a textIn this episode of DX Today, we explore the seismic shift from passive AI assistants to the new era of autonomous sales agents. As we move beyond simple copilots, agentic AI is beginning to take the wheel by independently researching leads, handling objections, and managing entire territories without constant human intervention. This transition promises to revolutionize the sales landscape, with predictions suggesting that AI agents will outnumber human sellers ten to one and intermediate over fifteen trillion dollars in B2B purchases within the next few years. We dive into the massive potential of...

Send us a textAgentic AI represents a fundamental paradigm shift in cybersecurity, moving beyond pattern analysis to autonomous decision-making and action. Unlike generative AI, these systems can execute complex, multi-step tasks with minimal human oversight, fundamentally restructuring both defensive and offensive cyber operations. Gartner has named agentic AI the top technology trend for 2025, projecting that 33% of enterprise applications will incorporate it by 2028.For defenders, agentic AI offers significant operational value by automating Security Operations Center (SOC) workflows, enabling continuous vulnerability testing, executing incident response at machine speed, and performing sophisticated behavioral threat analysis.
