Q1 2026: CIOs were challenged to deploy more AI capabilities to production and demonstrate ROI. Six months later, some organizations have thousands of AI agents, now focused on orchestration, governance, AgenticOps, and tokenomics. #AI #CIO drive.starcio.com/2026/10/tr…

Today's new post! > Trusting AI Agents: What CIOs Need To Know drive.starcio.com/2026/10/tr… #AI

"Infrastructure debt is the gap between what businesses expect from AI and what the data, storage, resiliency, and operations actually support. AI is a data challenge before it's a model challenge." #AI #CIO drive.starcio.com/podcast/ai…

Prototyping is easy. The challenge is deploying apps employees want to use, that deliver value, and that run on platforms built for rapid enhancement. AI's path to business value needs a dev process built on rapid feedback. #CitizenDevelopment #AI quickbase.com/blog/builders-…

RT "The hallucination tax is the cost of agents getting the task, decision, or outcome wrong. If we don't trust what agents are doing, we'll have to babysit them, continuously validate, and double-check." #CIO #AIgovernance @Star_CIO drive.starcio.com/2026/09/ai…

RT Live from Splunk .conf 2026. @jpatel41 opens with the frame every CIO needs: "Every agentic action is a routing challenge, a trust decision, and a telemetry event." That's the AI resilience mandate in one sentence. #Splunkconf26 #AI @Star_CIO youtube.com/watch?v=BpA-QPfI…

RT "Executives primarily talk about AI ROI in terms of cost savings and efficiency, and that doesn't adequately measure long-term AI success ? because it doesn't capture whether the organization is actually getting smarter." #AI #CIO @Star_CIO cio.com/article/4230237/5-me…

RT "Too many organizations treat AI adoption as the metric. The real question is whether it's improving business outcomes. The metrics that matter are the ones executives already track. If those aren't improving, AI isn't delivering." #AI #CIO @Star_CIO cio.com/article/4230237/5-me…

RT "Most CIOs can measure what AI saves them. But the harder number, and the one that shows up in revenue, is what mishandling data in AI costs in lost customers. 24% canceled a brand because of how their data was used in AI." #AI #CX @Star_CIO cio.com/article/4230237/5-me…

"The rules won't be the same throughout the implementation. They will evolve just as the technology is evolving. The expectation here is we don't know what to expect. Get used to feeling uncomfortable." #ChangeManagement #AI drive.starcio.com/podcast/ch…

"Encourage teams to examine the processes behind the work: why they work the way they do, the assumptions they rely on, what could be done differently, and whether their efforts are actually moving the business toward the outcome." #AI #Agile infoworld.com/article/423408…

"People are building applications with AI, and the quality is going down. The engineers actually don't understand what's being built anymore. When there's a problem, they're troubleshooting somebody else's code." #AI #DevOps drive.starcio.com/podcast/ch…

RT Best surprise of Day 1: The @jpatel41 of @cisco interview with @LipBuTan1 CEO of @Intel. If I had to name the two biggest turnarounds in tech, it's Microsoft under Satya and Intel under Lip-Bu. #Splunkconf26 @Star_CIO youtube.com/watch?v=BpA-QPfI…

"To encourage critical thinking for any digital transformation initiative, leaders should challenge their team to truly understand the problem they're trying to solve before technology ever enters the picture." #AI #Leadership infoworld.com/article/423408…
