Cloud computing promised efficiency, scalability, and reliability. But as AI workloads grow more complex, many enterprises are learning the hard way that these promises don’t come automatically.

In this episode of The AI Forecast, Paul Muller sits down with Linthicum Research founder David Linthicum to talk through the real state of hybrid cloud strategy and enterprise architecture in the age of cloud computing and AI.

Together, Paul and David delve into:

Why cloud governance and resilience are now board-level concerns
The hidden costs of hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments
Why workload repatriation is accelerating
How vibe coding can generate inefficient, high-cost AI applications
The difference between reliability and true operational resilience
Why enterprises need a common operational control plane

If you’re a technology leader scaling AI systems, this episode offers practical guidance on building governed, cost-efficient cloud architectures that won’t fail as complexity rises.
