    Beyond the Fiber - S1E3 - Tech Talk on AI with Jim Grubb

    The Challenge: AI is fundamentally changing traffic patterns, operations, and customer expectations, exposing the limits of legacy network architectures built for static connectivity rather than intelligent, real-time automation. Service providers are now under pressure to scale AI-ready infrastructure, manage growing operational complexity, and deliver predictive, always-on customer experiences. The Solution: AI-ready networks require a new approach where the network becomes both the foundation for AI workloads and a rich source of real-time intelligence. In this Tech Talk on the Beyond the Fiber podcast, Jim Grubb explores how AI is driving autonomous operations, proactive assurance, and the transformation from reactive networks to intelligent, self-optimizing platforms.

    404 Script Not Found: Bad Actors

    We’re back to tech this week, and Ian and Kat are tackling a question that feels equal parts fascinating and mildly terrifying: how are bad actors using LLMs? From prompt injection attacks (Kat's really passionate about these) to phishing emails that sound way more convincing than they used to, they dig into the very real ways AI is changing the cybersecurity landscape—and why that matters for everyone (even you). Along the way, they get into their own AI habits, debate their LLMs of choice, and uncover the fact that Kat’s AI talks to her like a supportive best friend while Ian’s is… a little more buttoned up. They also talk through why these threats are getting harder to spot, how security teams are using AI too, and why good old-fashioned awareness still matters just as much as the technology. Spoiler: bad actors may be getting smarter, but your best defense is still a healthy dose of skepticism—and maybe reminding your parents not to click random Wells Fargo links. If you want to learn what products Cisco has to help with your own security set up, we got you covered: https://id.cisco.com/app/ciscoid_aemcloudprodsaml_1/exk14lk1xf6SKDANc5d7/sso/saml

    AI Insights - Ep.4: Can AI Pick Stocks by Reading the News?

    In this month’s episode of The Cisco AI Insights Podcast, hosts Rafael Herrera and Sónia Marques explore the evolving landscape of sentiment analysis with Cisco machine learning engineer Joan Rossello. The conversation centers on the research paper from Imperial College London, “FinDPO: Financial Sentiment Analysis for Algorithmic Trading Through Preference Optimization of LLMs,” which proposes a new way to train large language models to better interpret nuanced human language. By comparing output quality, this preference-based training improved generalization and helped models interpret complex financial language without relying on simple memorization. Additionally, the discussion explored how sentiment scores derived from model probabilities were used to rank companies based on the strength of their news coverage, yielding promising results. A special thank you to the team that developed this month's paper. If you are interested in reading the paper yourself, please visit this link: ⁠ https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.18417

    SHIFT HAPPENS - EP.35: Listen. Learn. Act. Measure. Celebrate: A Leader's Playbook w/Mario Castro

    In this episode of Shift Happens, Jeff Edwards sits down with Mario Castro, the executive leading Cisco's $2B+ AI Infrastructure business, for a candid conversation on what it really takes to build AI that works at enterprise scale. Everyone is talking about AI. Far fewer are prepared for what it actually demands. Mario breaks through the noise to explain why successful AI adoption has very little to do with flashy demos-and everything to do with infrastructure, security, readiness, and execution. From building what he calls a Secure AI Factory to helping organizations shift from experimentation to measurable outcomes, Mario shares the lessons leaders need now if they want to stay competitive. Why listen: 🚀 The AI Readiness Gap - Mario explains why many organizations are still underprepared for enterprise AI and what separates the builders from the observers. 🛡️ Why Secure AI Matters - Learn why infrastructure, trust, and security are becoming the non-negotiable foundation for every serious AI strategy. 📈 From Experiment to Impact - Hear how businesses can move beyond AI pilots and start driving real operational and revenue value. Mario also shares the leadership framework that has guided him through every major technology shift of the last three decades: Listen. Learn. Act. Measure. Celebrate. It's practical, proven, and especially relevant as organizations navigate today's AI acceleration. Because AI isn't just about moving fast-it's about building something that lasts. Let's Make Shift Happen.
