AI, Hardware, and the Future of Intelligent Systems

How can artificial intelligence not just transform industries but also create real business value? On this premiere episode of season two of Where AI Works, host Serguei Netessine is joined by Alan Lee, CTO of Analog Devices Incorporated, to discuss strategies for the practical deployment and monetization of AI. They explore how AI can enhance product development and predictive maintenance while addressing challenges like power efficiency and hardware constraints. Alan also shares how AI-powered innovations can open new revenue streams and competitive advantages, turning AI from a simple buzzword into measurable business outcomes. The conversation highlights the critical role of edge computing for real-time data processing as well as the cultural collaboration needed between technologists, data scientists, and even skeptics to unlock AI’s full potential. You’ll also hear Alan’s vision for a future where machine intelligence of some sort will exist everywhere, and his advice to other business leaders about when to proceed cautiously and when to go ‘all in’ when it comes to AI.

Episode Highlights:

10:13 - Alan discusses strategies for managing the cultural conflict that can arise within organizations when new technology is implemented.
