Few enterprise technology shifts are more significant than the rise of AI agents. This means a leap in digital headcount that will force every CIO to revisit infrastructure once taken for granted: the network.
Matt Marshall, editor in chief of VentureBeat, welcomed Anurag Dhingra, SVP and GM of enterprise connectivity and collaboration at Cisco, to the latest VentureBeat in Conversation. They talked through where networks fall short, what AI-ready really means and how companies can turn connectivity into a competitive edge.
“When agents — whether they’re embodied AI or software agents — become ubiquitous, it’s going to feel like the workforce went through a step function increase,” Dhingra said. “Of course, network traffic is going to go through the roof as a result. So, you have to be very sure you have the right infrastructure to be ready for that AI future. Unfortunately, not many organizations today do just yet, despite the fact that this is not an optional technology going forward.”
