Deloitte CTO: Advice to CIOs on Enterprise AI | CXOTalk #912

Pradeep Mannakkara (CIO) and Ben Mayrides (CISO) of Cvent explain how they govern AI agents at scale across their 5,500-person organization, which now has over 6,000 agents in production. In this fireside chat recorded at a Glean event in NYC, they walk through the AWARE framework developed by Glean's Work AI Institute with Databricks and Palo Alto Networks, and describe the practical tradeoffs of moving fast while managing risk. The conversation covers agent identity, observability, cultural adoption, CIO/CISO dynamics, and what enterprise-grade AI governance looks like in practice.You'll discover:✅ Why traditional IAM and observability controls fail in agentic architectures where agents reason, delegate, and act autonomously✅ How Cvent deliberately encouraged 6,000 agent creations to build AI fluency before layering in moderation and metrics✅ The AWARE framework's five pillars: identity, context, guardrails, risk scoring, and ecosystem observability✅ Why "risk is too high" is never the final answer, only "risk is too high for now"✅ How Cvent filters AI demand through ROI gates before projects reach security review✅ Why replacing gut-feel security objections with shared criteria moves the CISO from gatekeeper to business partner✅ The sandbox-first approach that separates experimentation from production deployment✅ Why SOC 2 control criteria for AI agents are likely within 18 to 24 months⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Introduction and the AWARE framework0:34 Core challenges of agent governance2:43 What agents do for us and to us4:36 Applying the AWARE framework in practice7:09 Choosing platforms with built-in controls9:25 Making governance a cultural shift11:51 Earning trust through deliberate risk decisions13:49 Replacing gut reactions with shared criteria15:20 Managing the CIO/CISO tension18:54 Shared language for hard tradeoffs22:01 Go/no-go decisions are never one and done24:48 Advice for putting AWARE into practice26:38 Scaling to 6,000 agents🔔 Subscribe to CXOTalk and hit the bell for new episodes every week.📩 Get the CXOTalk newsletter: https://newsletter.cxotalk.com💬 Show notes: https://www.cxotalk.com/episode/ai-agent-governance-inside-the-glean-aware-framework-with-cvents-cio-and-ciso🎙️ ABOUT CXOTALKCXOTalk features unfiltered conversations with C-suite executives from major companies about AI, digital transformation, and business strategy.

Bill Briggs, CTO of Deloitte, shares findings and advice for Chief Information Officers (CIOs) from the 2026 TechTrends report: 93% of enterprise AI spending goes to technology and tooling, while only 7% of funding goes to culture, change management, and learning. Briggs explains why this imbalance drives failed pilots and runaway costs, and what leaders should do about it. 📌 KEY POINTS-- Your AI spending ratio is upside downEnterprises allocate 93% of AI budgets to technology and tooling, while devoting only 7% to culture, change management, and workforce learning. Leaders who invest first in simplifying processes from first principles, before adding AI, consistently produce the strongest returns.-- Frontline trust in AI sits at 6.7%, and it's costing youC-suite executives report 70% trust in AI, while entry-level workers register only 6.7%, creating an inverted value chain where the people closest to broken processes stay silent. Organizations can close this gap by declaring intentions upfront and making it safe for workers to experiment openly, rather than hiding behind personal AI tools.-- Measure outcomes, not agent headcountCompanies broadcasting "tens of thousands of agents" substitute effort metrics for evidence of value; if real business results existed, those numbers would be the headline. Tie every AI initiative to specific operational and financial metrics and kill pilots that result in press releases but no movement that benefits shareholders and employees.YOU'LL DISCOVER:✅ Why applying AI to an inefficient process "weaponizes inefficiency" and drives costs through the roof✅ How trust in AI drops from 70% at the C-suite to 6.7% at the frontline, and why this inverted gap blocks real value✅ Why hospitals are putting robots on org charts and holding naming competitions for AI coworkers✅ The specific governance frameworks enterprises need for a workforce of AI agents (modeled on the HR lifecycle)✅ How inference costs create sticker shock and when to shift from cloud to dedicated hardware✅ Why Briggs says the CIO's most important skill is now storytelling, not systems architecture✅ What "success theater" looks like and how to spot it in your own organization✅ Why 99% of enterprises are fundamentally transforming their IT organizations right now⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Deloitte's CTO: Spend less on technology0:20 The 93/7 AI spending imbalance3:59 Why a technologist argues against more tech investment5:43 State of enterprise AI: 30% reach production scale8:05 Treating AI deployment like onboarding a coworker10:29 AI itself means nothing without culture change13:14 Redesigning work from first principles16:51 Quantifying AI financial risk and token economics20:03 Inference costs, shadow IT, and runaway bills23:14 The trust gap: 70% at the top, 6.7% at the bottom26:47 Governing a workforce of AI agents32:15 Success theater vs. real business metrics37:37 Responsible deployment, guardrails, and OpenClaw lessons42:37 How AI is transforming the CIO role46:05 Why storytelling is the CIO's most important skill50:02 Human times machine: the essential equation🔔 SUBSCRIBE for weekly conversations with global technology and business leaders who speak candidly about the strategies behind AI, transformation, and organizational change.📩 Get notified about upcoming episodes and exclusive insights: https://newsletter.cxotalk.com💬 Read show notes and get the transcript: https://www.cxotalk.com/episode/deloitte-cto-on-the-ai-investment-trap-cio-advisory-2026🎙️ ABOUT CXOTALKCXOTalk features unfiltered conversations with C-suite executives from major companies about AI, digital transformation, and business strategy.

A healthcare CEO once told former CDC Director, Dr. Tom Frieden, he had "a fiduciary responsibility not to provide good diabetes care" because the ROI takes 7 years and patients leave after 4. That's not a villain talking. That's our system working exactly as designed, without preventive medicine.Dr. Tom Frieden ran the CDC under President Obama, served as New York City Health Commissioner, and now leads Resolve to Save Lives, a global nonprofit working in 50+ countries. His new book, The Formula for Better Health, lays out why the U.S. spends $4.5 trillion a year on healthcare, gets the most basic things right less than half the time, and what it takes to fix it.You'll discover:✅ Why preventing heart attacks actually costs providers money, and the one system (Kaiser Permanente) where that's flipped✅ How 100 million Americans lack primary care, and why tripling primary care spending could reduce total Medicare costs✅ The "See, Believe, Create" formula that has already saved millions of lives globally✅ Why Dr. Frieden says "it is now malpractice not to care for a patient with an AI as part of the team"✅ The 7-1-7 accountability system now used by 50 countries to find and stop disease outbreaks✅ How a $5 copay on preventive medication measurably increases heart attacks and strokes✅ The six specific health measures Dr. Frieden says matter most (with exact target numbers)✅ Why misinformation is the most lethal health threat: "a fire hose of falsehoods driven by the monetization of misinformation"⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 A healthcare CEO's shocking confession about diabetes care0:45 Why the U.S. healthcare system is designed to fail2:10 Primary care: the most neglected piece of American healthcare4:28 Economic incentives that punish prevention6:43 Kaiser Permanente's capitation model and why it works9:44 CVS, concierge medicine, and halfway solutions13:20 Who can fix a system where no one is accountable?14:49 The "See, Believe, Create" formula explained19:08 Measles outbreaks and the misinformation crisis24:05 AI in healthcare: enormous potential, bad judgment34:18 What's happened to the CDC and vaccine infrastructure40:56 The 7-1-7 outbreak accountability system44:39 Why other countries get better results for less money47:39 The Big 6: personal health targets everyone should know53:11 Dr. Frieden's prescription for policymakers and healthcare leaders🔔 Subscribe and hit the bell so you don't miss conversations with world-class leaders.📩 Join our newsletter: https://newsletter.cxotalk.com💬 Read show notes: https://www.cxotalk.com/episode/former-cdc-director-how-to-fix-healthcare🎙️ ABOUT CXOTALKCXOTalk features unfiltered conversations with C-suite executives from major companies about AI, digital transformation, and business strategy.

Cyberattacks that used to take months now take minutes. And your defenders still can't keep up.Rob T. Lee, Chief AI Officer of the SANS Institute, and David A. Bray, Chair of the Accelerator at the Stimson Center, explain why AI gives attackers a structural advantage. Attackers don't care if their AI breaks something. Your security team can't take that risk. That asymmetry changes everything.✅ You'll discover:✅ Why attackers will always remove the human in the loop faster than defenders can, and the risk calculus that creates✅ How "death by 1,000 cuts" works: $300 per person times 10,000 targets via SIM farms equals a single ransomware payout✅ The federated learning approach that lets organizations share threat intelligence without exposing their own data or vulnerabilities✅ Why hackers are exploiting AI hallucinations by writing real code libraries for packages that models reliably hallucinate✅ How to identify the right cybersecurity talent: hire for learning velocity and the "fiddling mindset," not static AI credentials✅ Why boards must stop treating cybersecurity as prevention and start rewarding rapid detection and response✅ The pre-compute vs. post-compute distinction for AI agent safety that most executives are missing entirely✅ When autonomous cyber defense will actually be viable (hint: think pilotless planes and robotic surgeons)⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 AI has made "death by 1,000 cuts" attacks scalable0:39 Why the AI security lifecycle matters now2:27 Military history lessons for cyber defense strategy5:00 Federated learning: sharing threat intelligence without exposing data6:48 How incident response must evolve for AI-speed attacks8:05 The human-in-the-loop dilemma: defenders vs. attackers11:37 Distraction attacks: coordinated multi-target campaigns15:37 Autonomous agents as a new attack surface19:44 Hackers weaponizing AI hallucinations against developers22:23 Development velocity as the real "swarm" capability24:20 Perverse incentives: why stopping an attack still counts as failure27:09 Your personal attack surface grew from 3 devices to 5031:22 Protecting AI tool chains from becoming prime targets34:25 Hackathons as the future of cybersecurity hiring36:53 Patterns of life: instrumenting your enterprise for anomaly detection38:18 When will we trust AI defenders without human oversight?41:09 Pre-compute vs. post-compute: where AI agent safety rules must live46:45 AI trust, hallucinations, and prompt injection as information warfare51:42 Building security culture: leadership, not blame🔔 Subscribe so you never miss a conversation with the world's top business and technology leaders.📩 Get notified about upcoming shows.

MIT and Stanford professor Alex "Sandy" Pentland, one of the most cited researchers in the world with over 165,000 citations, explains why the real AI advantage isn't smarter models but collective intelligence. It's smarter humans working together with AI as the connective tissue. Drawing from his latest book Shared Wisdom, Pentland reveals the frameworks behind community intelligence and why data ownership, not frontier AI, will determine who wins the next decade.You'll discover:✅ Why "people plus AI" consistently beats AI alone, and the hedge fund evidence that proves it✅ How "AI buddies" are replacing corporate manuals, newsletters, and hallway conversations to keep distributed teams aligned✅ The Deliberation.io tool that makes meetings more than twice as effective by neutralizing power dynamics and keeping groups focused✅ Why a 350,000-person multinational is cutting in-house staff to 150,000 while hiring 100,000 more project-based workers, and how AI enables that shift✅ How a doctor with zero technical background built a hospital operating system in 6 weeks using AI tools✅ The staggering stat: AI costs are dropping by 50% every 3.5 months, a factor of 1,000 over three years, and what that means for personal, on-device AI✅ Why China's Belt and Road and India's Citizen Stack (1.4 billion customers signed up) are quietly winning the global data game while Silicon Valley focuses on frontier models✅ Sandy's provocative proposal: a 10% equity contribution to sovereign wealth funds at company formation, which would have created a $10 trillion US fund if started in 1990⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 Why AI alone loses money: the hedge fund reality check2:07 Shared wisdom, community intelligence, and organizational culture4:25 AI buddies: the brilliant librarian inside your company5:44 Deliberation.io: making meetings 2x more effective7:01 Using AI for exploration and long-range strategic thinking11:29 Who's to blame when AI fails: executives or the machine?14:28 Why AI can't do causality and what that means for leaders18:14 AI's killer app for remote work and distributed organizations21:09 A doctor built a hospital OS in 6 weeks: small teams, massive impact24:09 Job displacement, social safety nets, and the sovereign wealth fund idea27:01 Reinventing education: Costa Rica's bet and the MIT Media Lab model32:16 LLMs vs. older AI: why you need both (and the loyalagents.org initiative)37:13 Practical starting points for redesigning work with AI40:16 Misinformation, data provenance, and the billion-dollar North Korea problem48:50 The global data race: China, India, UAE, and why frontier models aren't the game54:00 Cybersecurity warning: agentic AI creates massive new attack surfaces🔔 Subscribe so you never miss a conversation with the world's top business and technology leaders.📩 Get notified about upcoming shows.

AI coding tools are writing more code than ever, but your software isn't shipping any faster. Welcome to the AI Paradox and the solution, intelligent orchestration.Bill Staples, CEO of GitLab, explains why AI-accelerated coding is actually creating massive downstream bottlenecks in code reviews, security checks, and deployment, and why adding more AI tools only makes the problem worse. GitLab's solution: intelligent orchestration across the entire software development lifecycle.You'll discover:✅ The "AI Paradox:" why faster coding isn't translating into faster software delivery✅ How tool fragmentation and context-switching are killing developer productivity✅ Why agents that thrive on context fail when your tools are siloed✅ The "inner loop architecture" that makes AI agents 40% more accurate and 25% faster✅ How GitLab's intelligent orchestration approach combines workflows, context, and guardrails✅ Why mid-level developers are about to become strategic orchestrators (not just coders)✅ The exact metrics CIOs should track, and why "lines of code" is the wrong one✅ First steps: audit, consolidate, and pilot before going all-in on AI⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 The AI Paradox: Why faster coding doesn't mean faster delivery1:10 How tool fragmentation creates developer bottlenecks3:40 Why AI agents make complexity worse (not better)5:12 Solving the AI automation problem: people, process, and technology6:36 Inner loop architecture: co-locating agents and data9:14 Intelligent orchestration: workflows, context, and guardrails10:32 How GitLab's knowledge graph supercharges agent accuracy12:49 Universal guardrails for humans and AI agents13:39 Real-world results: 2-3x more merge requests, pipeline fixes in minutes15:00 Common threads driving customer success16:36 How AI transforms the mid-level developer's role19:06 Advice for CIOs and CTOs putting this into practice20:49 First steps: audit, measure, and pilot22:45 Core metrics to evaluate AI's real value25:02 Wrap-up🔔 Subscribe for weekly conversations with top technology executives.📩 Get the CXOTalk newsletter: https://newsletter.cxotalk.com💬 Drop your questions in the comments: Michael and our community actively engage.🎙️Read the summary: https://www.cxotalk.com/episode/intelligent-orchestration-software-delivery-for-the-ai-era-with-ceo-of-gitlab#AI #SoftwareDevelopment #DevOps #GitLab #AIAgents #DeveloperProductivity #CIO #CTO #DigitalTransformation #CXOTalk

An AI chatbot that hallucinates is annoying. A robot or physical AI that hallucinates can cause injury or death. Burkhard Boeckem, CTO of Hexagon, explains why the bar for physical AI is fundamentally higher than digital AI, and what it takes to deploy robots that actually work in the real world. All this in CXOTalk episode 905.\In this conversation, we cover:→ What physical AI actually means (and why it's different from the AI you use every day)→ Why digital twins are the foundation for training robots safely→ The gap between impressive YouTube demos and robots that create economic value→ Functional safety: the "big theme" coming in 2026→ Cloud vs. edge computing for autonomous systems→ Where robotics deployments fail (hint: it's not the technology)→ What boards get wrong about robotics investments→ Timeline: when will we see real autonomy?Key insight: "Many boards overestimate the speed and underestimate the system work. It's not a software rollout—it's a complex engineering system."Burkhard's prediction: Autonomy in constrained environments is 1-3 years away. The "butler humanoid" that does everything? Still a ways off.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction: What is Physical AI?02:06 Digital Twins as the Foundation03:23 Understanding Ground Truth06:42 Digital AI vs. Physical AI: Safety and Reliability08:47 Real-World Business Applications10:48 Security and Functional Safety14:57 CES Announcements and Industry State20:01 Cloud vs. Edge Computing in Robotics22:32 Regulations for Physical AI25:10 Addressing Bias in Physical AI27:51 Timeline to Autonomy31:46 Creating Economic Value Beyond Demos33:26 Where Robotics Deployments Fail35:59 The Future of Humanoid Form Factors38:38 The Humanoid as User Interface40:06 Digital Twins for Robotics42:36 Fleet Collaboration and Swarm Intelligence43:46 What Boards Get Wrong About Robotics45:18 The Future of Work46:32 Responsible Deployment47:15 Manager AIs for Worker AIs?48:16 Looking Ahead: Next 2-3 Years49:37 Core Technical Challenges————————————————🔷 Full episode, show notes and resources: https://www.cxotalk.com/episode/google-clouds-cto-inside-the-ai-strategy🔷 Newsletter: www.cxotalk.com/subscribe🔷 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/cxotalk🔷 Twitter: twitter.com/cxotalk————————————————About the Guest:Burkhard Boeckem is Chief Technology Officer at Hexagon, a global leader in digital reality solutions combining sensor, software, and autonomous technologies.About CXOTalk:CXOTalk features direct, unfiltered conversations with the world's top business and technology leaders.
