The CEOs I talk to are asking the same three questions about AI: 1) can I trust it?; 2) can I secure it?; and 3) can I afford it? This week the @Splunk team helped answer all three. That is what critical infrastructure for the AI era looks like. Great work, and worth the watch if you missed the #splunkconf26# keynote.

Earlier this week, I connected with my good friend @jpatel41 at @Cisco Splunk .conf26. We talked about the importance of listening to customers, hearing the truth, and building a strong team that takes accountability. We also talked about the importance of security and observability in AI. We need to use AI responsibly, but we should not lose sight of how much good it can do. Thank you, Jeetu for the friendship and conversation. And thank you to the Splunk community for the warm welcome.
