As AI shifts from experimentation to execution, the margin for "good enough" infrastructure disappears fast.

In this episode of Insight On, Jillian Viner and Insight CMO Hilary Kerner check in on how AI sentiment has shifted over the past six months — from early experimentation to real pressure on teams, budgets, and expectations.

Then, Hilary sits down with Cisco SVP Tim Coogan for a deeper conversation on infrastructure. They unpack why strategies that felt "good enough" just 18 months ago are already risky, how AI changes what scalable really means, and why infrastructure planning has become less forgiving.

If you're making technology decisions that need to hold up under AI at scale, this episode is for you.
