AI Realized Executive Roundtable - Considering Private AI: Protection, Price, & Performance: This session explores when running AI within an enterprise-controlled environment makes business sense. Together, we'll consider how deploying open models on company infrastructure or in a private cloud can help protect corporate intelligence, manage costs, & meet performance requirements, & what responsibilities come with that control.

The AI Realized executive roundtable series brings together leaders driving AI adoption to candidly share experiences, compare strategies, & work through decisions in a closed-door session with a skilled facilitator.

To inform the discussion, Ivan Lee, CEO of Datasaur, & Maher Hanafi, SVP of Engineering at Betterworks, will share data & practical experience to help participants evaluate the costs, benefits, & performance trade-offs of private AI.

Through expert-facilitated, peer-to-peer discussion, we'll explore three equally important considerations:

Protection: What control do enterprises need over proprietary data, business knowledge, & the intelligence accumulated through AI use? What protection do different deployment approaches provide?

Price: How do infrastructure, staffing, integration, maintenance, & ongoing evaluation affect the economics of private AI?

Performance: Where can private AI meet or improve on hosted alternatives in quality, speed, reliability, & business outcomes?

We'll compare experiences across enterprise-controlled deployments, hosted open models, & proprietary AI services. Participants will leave with a practical decision framework they can apply to a real workload, including the evidence they need to make the call & the conditions that would prompt them to reconsider.

Who Should Attend
This hybrid roundtable is designed for C-level & VP-level executives leading AI strategy & deployment within their organizations. We welcome a mix of leaders operating private AI & those evaluating where it could fit.

Participation is focused on executives responsible for internal enterprise AI adoption. Executives at AI vendors are welcome when they are leading an internal deployment & participating in that capacity.
