123. AI Costs Push Enterprise IT Toward Efficient Inference

The world is enthralled by AI right now, but how you perceive AI might be vastly different than your neighbor or someone across the office.

In this very special episode of the Tech Field Day podcast, the Tech Field Day event leads take a look at how AI is impacting the greater IT world and how we see it.

Welcome to the Tech Field Day podcast, where we bring together a group of IT technical experts to discuss a single idea about key concepts in the industry.

This podcast features a variety of perspectives from members of the Tech Field Day delegate community and is often recorded in association with one of our events.

Tech Field Day is a part of the Futurum group, and this podcast is also published on our sister company site, TechStrongTV.

On this episode, we're going to be discussing the state of the industry and maybe data centers in space.

We don't know yet.

But before we get

there, I

want to make sure that we introduce our fine guests for this episode.

You might recognize them.

Starting off with Mr. Alistair Cooke.

Al.

Hey, yeah, you should recognize me from other Tickfield Day podcasts and properties around and Tickfield Day events.

I'm coming to you from a terrestrial location, no space and no Starlink.

Absolutely.

And joining me is another familiar face, Stephen.

Well, here I am from my evil space-based podcasting studio surrounded by AI gear.

It sure is hot in here.

Well, we're glad to have you both joining me today.

Of course, I'm Tom Hollingsworth, event lead for all things related to networking security and mobility here at Tech Field Day.

Let's jump in to the episode because it's going to be a fun discussion today.
