As organizations accelerate AI adoption, many are discovering new challenges around cost, security, and scalability. Agentic AI workflows and consumption-based models are creating concerns around rising expenses, data privacy, and the movement of sensitive information through public cloud environments.

The question facing IT leaders today is no longer whether to adopt AI, it’s where AI workloads should run and how to build the right balance between cloud and edge computing.

Join CIO / Foundry contributing editor Charles Pelton, HP Inc., and Microsoft experts for an interactive virtual roundtable exploring how hybrid AI architectures can help organizations optimize performance, strengthen security, and control costs.

Discussion topics include:

  • The cost of AI at scale: Understanding how consumption-based models and token movement impact budgets.
  • Cloud vs. edge decisions: Identifying which workloads belong in the public cloud and which benefit from edge-based AI.
  • Security and governance: Balancing AI performance, privacy, compliance, and control.
  • The rise of AI PCs: Exploring real-world use cases for edge AI across industries and environments.
  • The future workplace: Extending AI beyond the cloud with intelligent devices, collaboration tools, and connected experiences.
  • Managing AI investments: Evaluating tools and strategies to measure usage, cost, and value.
