This article explores the evolving role of AI in the C-suite, moving beyond simple tools to its integration into core decision-making. I'm seeking to balance the optimistic view of increased adoption with a critical look at the practical challenges, risks, and governance required for truly "enterprise-grade" AI.
Can you provide a specific example of how AI has recently informed a significant business decision you've made? What was the outcome?
From an educational perspective, what are the most critical skills you're teaching the next generation of executives regarding AI use?
How do C-suite leaders effectively move AI from a series of individual projects to a secure, governed, and scalable enterprise-wide function?
What are the most significant risks or negative consequences that leaders are overlooking in their haste to adopt AI?

I'm a writer for The Forecast by Nutanix, a tech industry publication focusing on emerging technology for enterprise use. I'm looking to connect with sources in leadership or senior IC roles who can speak on the recent and future impact edge computing and AI in the retail industry, including it's impact on the supply chain, inventory management, in-person retail experiences, and/or online shopping. If you only have experience with one of these areas, great! I'd love to hear from experts in niche areas and dive deep into the technical advancements and use cases for edge computing in these areas.
In particular, I'd like to know:
- How is edge computing and AI is being used to transform supply chain and inventory management in the retail industry?
- How is edge computing and AI being used to transform the physical retail industry? Specifically, how are retailers using edge computing and associated AI to improve the customer experience through real-time data analytics, personalized shopping experiences, micro-fulfillment, customer data retention, data privacy, and cashier-less retail stores.
- What are the past and current technical challenges associated with integrating edge computing and real-time AI tools into brick-and-mortar retail stores? What infrastructure and tools (turnkey or custom-built) are most popular in this space?
- Do you have any best practices to share for retail companies looking to make the transition to a decentralized edge computing system?
