Some conversations shift how you think about the future of AI. This one did. I just sat down with David Flynn, Founder and CEO of Hammerspace, to talk about something enterprises rarely discuss openly: the real engine behind AI is no longer compute. It is data.

We went deep into why NVIDIA’s AI Data Platform has become the blueprint for modern AI architecture and why Hammerspace is emerging as the layer that actually makes this blueprint real for enterprises.

David broke down how the industry is moving from building AI around compute to building AI around data.

He talked about what the AI Anywhere era looks like, and why the next generation of AI systems will need a global, unified view of data across cloud, edge, and physical environments.

We also talked about the partnership with NVIDIA, how it boosts the productivity of agentic AI, and why enterprises will need data that can move as fast as their models.

David shared how Hammerspace is preparing for what comes next in 2026 and beyond, from scale to power efficiency to open standards.

This is one of those conversations that gives you clarity on where the industry is going and why data architecture is about to become the biggest competitive advantage.
