AI is critical for humanity’s survival: Cisco president on the AI revolution | Jeetu Patel

Survival of humanity depends on a successful AI. Birth rates are going down. If you have sixty percent of your population where you don't have enough people to take care of them, that could cause a lot of human suffering. When I got this new job, there's zero chance I would have been able to do it if AI wasn't there. Because I didn't know anything about so many domains that we were in. A lot of companies are trying to adjust to This new world. You have to know the difference between a mega trend and hype cycle. When there's a mega trend, don't fight it. AI is a mega trend. One of the most foundational movements that we have seen in human industry. This is very difficult to do. AI is moving so fast, one of the things that's on my team is fast for Forward six months from now. Get prepared for that world. You manage thirty thousand people. Every management book that you read will tell you praise in public, criticize in private. I fundamentally disagree with that notion. What you have to do is establish enough trust among the team so that you are comfortable critiquing and debating. In public, but something that you wish you'd known before taking on this role stamina trumps інтелект's very important to have smart people, but you can become smart if you have curiosity and hunger, and staying power and persistence. You can't teach hunger. Today, my guest is GTPel, chief product officer and president at Sisco.

Cisco is not a brand that mostly people think about when they think about AI. But not only are they a massive part of the AI infrastructure build out that is happening right now all over the world, what G2 has achieved internally at Cisco in terms of transforming their culture and waves of working to be AI first is something that most big company leaders only dream about. Gijo is also an incredible human with so much warmth and wisdom to share, I am very excited to be sharing his story.

Let's get into it after a short word from our wonderful sponsors. Applications break in all kinds of ways, crashes, slowdowns, regressions, and the stuff that you only see once real users show up. Sentry catches it all.

See what happened, where and why. Down to the commit that introduced the error. the developer who shipped it, and the exact line of code all in one connected view. I've definitely tried the five tabs and slack thread approach to debugging. This is better. Sentry shows you how the request moved.
