In this episode of Gartner ThinkCast, we return to the AI races with a mid-year reminder on how to keep setting your own pace. Where does your organization stand halfway through the year? And what do you need to keep pursuing?

Just as we started the year laying out the AI races, we'll once again hear from Gartner Distinguished VP Analysts Mary Mesaglio and Hung LeHong from their Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo Opening Keynote. They'll expand on the AI tech sandwich framework, the 3 AI outcomes that matter, what happens when tools become our teammates and how to focus on your own AI race — whether it's AI-steady, or AI-accelerated.

Tune in to discover:

How to align your AI governance strategy with your current AI pace
What makes a tech sandwich a smarter alternative to a tech stack
Why TRiSM technologies are essential to mitigate risk in real time
How to anticipate and manage AI tools becoming our teammates
What agentic AI and guardian agents mean for the future of work
