Enterprise AI Moves From "Wow" to "How": The AI Conference 2026 Takeaways
AI's next chapter is less about dazzling demos and more about making it work in the business. Tim Bajarin and Mike Dymott share their takeaways from The AI Conference (https://aiconference.com) in San Francisco, where the conversation centered on deploying, managing, and governing AI—not just what the models can do.
They explore the rise of AI agents, the infrastructure that turns models into working systems, and how orchestration and model routing give businesses more flexibility. They also discuss inference costs, security and traceability, and the changing role of software engineers as AI generates more code and human judgment becomes increasingly important.
The central message: successful enterprise AI depends on more than a powerful model. It requires reliable data, cost controls, clear accountability, and people who know how to evaluate the results. A practical discussion for IT leaders, developers, and business decision-makers moving from AI experimentation to implementation.

AI as a Coworker: Building a People-First Workforce Transformation - Guest: Vinay Gidwaney
Why do so many enterprise AI programs stall after the pilot phase?
In this episode of AI in Motion, hosts Tim Bajarin and Mike DyMott speak with Vinay Gidwaney, Chief Product Officer at OneDigital (https://www.onedigital.com) and co-author of Workforce Intelligence: The People-First Playbook for Leading Your Company Through AI Transformation.
Gidwaney argues that organizations often fail when they treat AI as another software rollout. Instead, he makes the case for treating AI as talent: hiring AI "coworkers," assigning them clear roles, giving them human supervisors, and redesigning work so people can focus more of their time on the distinctly human skills that create lasting value.
The conversation explores:

AI in Motion: Trevor Koverko on Turning Enterprise Data Into an AI Advantage
In this episode of AI in Motion, host Tim Bajarin speaks with Trevor Koverko—entrepreneur, former New York Rangers hockey draft pick, angel investor, and co-founder of Sapien—about the rapidly evolving role of data in enterprise AI.
Koverko shares his unconventional path from professional hockey to Silicon Valley startups, then explains why he believes proprietary, well-structured data has become the central competitive advantage in the AI era. The conversation examines the high-stakes choices facing companies that possess valuable data: Should they license it to frontier-model providers, build specialized AI capabilities around it, or risk being disrupted by faster, AI-native competitors?
They also explore the emerging market for vertical enterprise models, the balance between cloud-based and on-device inference, data privacy and ownership, and why organizations must move beyond raw, unstructured information before they can reliably train, fine-tune, or deploy AI systems. Koverko outlines Sapien's marketplace-based approach to data validation and structuring, including the growing role of human expertise in supervising AI agents and producing high-quality training data.
For enterprise leaders, data teams, and entrepreneurs, this episode offers a practical look at the strategic decisions that will determine who benefits from AI—and who gets left behind.

AI, Joy, and the Enterprise: Kevin Surace on Making AI Work for People
In this episode of AI in Motion, hosts Tim Bajarin and Mike Dymott talk with Kevin Surace—AI pioneer, entrepreneur, futurist, and longtime technologist—about how generative AI is reshaping business and the workplace. Surace shares perspectives from his early work in wireless communications and virtual assistants, and explains why today's AI moment is as consequential as any period in technology history.
The conversation examines how organizations can use AI to eliminate repetitive, low-value tasks, including transcribing meetings, summarizing large documents, analyzing spreadsheets, and creating presentations. Surace also discusses the premise of his upcoming book, The Joy Success Cycle, which argues that joy should be built into work as a driver of success—not treated as a reward that comes afterward.
Surace and the hosts also explore the risks and opportunities surrounding enterprise AI agents, including the need for strong governance, human approval controls, and security safeguards for high-stakes actions. They look ahead to local and edge AI, the evolving role of data centers, and how businesses can use AI to become more productive without losing human accountability, creativity, and purpose.

AI in Sales: From Lead Prioritization to Smarter Revenue Growth
AI is rapidly reshaping the sales process—but where should a sales team begin? In this episode of AI in Motion, Tim Bajarin and ISM Principal Consultant Mike DyMott explore practical, high-impact ways sales organizations can put AI to work now.
They discuss how AI can help teams prioritize the leads most likely to convert, create more relevant and personalized outreach, capture and summarize sales conversations, keep CRM records current, and improve revenue forecasting. The conversation also examines the emerging role of AI agents in qualifying website visitors, scheduling meetings, and supporting a more responsive customer experience.
Mike emphasizes a crucial theme throughout: AI is only as useful as the data, knowledge, policies, and processes behind it. Rather than getting distracted by technology labels, sales leaders should focus on building accurate systems of record, strengthening their sales cadence, and using AI to enrich—not replace—human engagement.
Whether you lead a sales division, manage a CRM program, or want a practical starting point for AI adoption, this episode offers a grounded roadmap for turning AI potential into measurable sales momentum.
