Quick takes from Jaime: On operational AI scale: "As of today, we have thousands of those machine learning models running day in and day out in the company. And with those models, our teams have the benefit of being able to do predictive analytics to run their business on a day-to-day basis.” On generative AI adoption: “Up to 30 percent of our workforce is using this new technology consistently. We have some functions like HR... the use rate goes all the way to 65, 75 percent... doing performance assessments or helping people develop specific development plans.” On ROI and accountability: “In most cases, the value proposition is about driving efficiency, improving time to market, reducing cost, growing the top line. And what I’ve done is that I partner with my CFO... they keep the score for every investment that we make in our organization.” Recent Book Recommendation: Rewired by Eric Lamarre, Kate Smaje, and Rodney Zemmel -- Like what you hear?

Now, it's essentially 15 minutes, worst case, probably two minutes, best case.” On contract lifecycle automation: “It’s not just a, you know, search and replace or search and find or go find all these things, but helping understand, you know, what is the best way to rephrase this.” On disaster recovery readiness: “We're basically checking all these systems 24-7 to understand, do we have something brewing out there? I mean, hopefully we don't have a disaster, but we want to be prepared just in case we do.” Recent Book Recommendation: The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown -- Like what you hear?

We’ve saved that [manual work], we’ve automated it, and we have the data faster. So the downstream processes are more efficient.” On business framing for AI usage: “I view AI as to the white-collar workforce what robotics was to the blue-collar workforce.

It’s not banan, but it moves the needle every single time.” On business framing for AI usage: “We spent 2024 doing the unsexy work: protecting data, governing AI platforms. That was the homework.

He outlines their strategic maturity model for AI adoption and why CIOs must lead with experimentation. Quick Hits from Max: On evolving IT’s role: "[We] moved away from the monolithic type of solutions into a more cloud-first, digital-centric composable architecture. That change truly helped with driving any and every innovation that we are talking about today.” On framing enterprise AI: "We bucket [AI use] into three types. First, we talk about out-of-the-box generative AI tools… The second bucket is what we like to call embedded AI… Last is truly custom AI solutions." On generative design: "The engineers, instead of coming with three designs [and having] the customer look at it, come back with some recommendations or questions, [and then] they go back to the drawing board; now they can immediately get in front of a customer [and] say, 'hey, look, these are the things that we can do if this is what you want [and] these are the parameters that you're changing.'"

    The Future of AI-Powered Supply Chains with Prologis CTO Sineesh Keshav

    On the 53rd episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (Abnormal AI) and Saam Motamedi (Greylock Partners) talk with Sineesh Keshav, Chief Technology Officer at Prologis. With over 1.3 billion square feet under management and over 8 billion in revenue, Prologis is the world's largest logistics real estate company. In this conversation, Sineesh shares his perspective on how Prologis drove 95% company-wide adoption of generative AI through personal productivity use cases. He also discusses the future of SaaS as enterprises begin to take greater ownership of their data and AI models, and how AI is enabling a shift from static infrastructure to dynamic, self-optimizing supply chains. Quick hits from Sineesh: On understanding build vs. buy with AI: "If everyone has access to the latest, greatest models, which should be our assumption, then the only thing that differentiates your company is your data, and how you use it. And anything that touches proprietary data should be built internally.” On the importance of enterprise AI strategy: "This isn't something you can afford to sit out. There's a minimum investment every company needs to make—don't skimp on licenses; don't wait to see how it shakes out. Make it accessible, find champions, and start now.” On how AI empowers employees: "At the most basic level, it's a productivity driver. Some people use it to proofread emails, others use it to summarize a 40-page memo, or draft that memo entirely. Every employee can use it in completely different ways—and that's exactly the point.” Recent Book Recommendation: When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi -- Like what you hear?
