PRO Session: From Hype to Impact: Cracking the Code on AI ROI

Wednesday February 12, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

Nabil Bukhari, Extreme Networks, Chief Product & Technology Officer, EVP, GM Subscription Business

In the race to adopt AI, even experienced business leaders can find themselves focusing too much on the technology itself, leading to less-than-optimal results. AI isn’t just about algorithms, machine learning, and large language models - it’s about the meaningful impact it can deliver when applied strategically. Nabil Bukhari, CTO and GM of subscriptions at Extreme Networks, the world’s fastest growing cloud networking company, offers a fresh perspective on AI strategy—one that prioritizes real outcomes over flashy applications.

In this session, Nabil will present the ARC Framework, a proven approach that guides organizations (A)ccelerating existing processes, (R)eplacing outdated systems, and (C)reating valuable new experiences, all to ensure AI investments drive measurable business impact.

This framework took shape during the development of Extreme Platform One, one of Extreme’s most ambitious projects to date. In a world where 80% of AI projects fail, Extreme Platform One stands out for simplifying complex network management and delivering tangible value to organizations of all sizes. The ARC Framework highlights that AI itself is not the innovation - it’s how we apply it strategically to create meaningful outcomes. Learn actionable strategies to avoid common pitfalls, like chasing hype or low-impact use cases, and harness AI’s true potential to drive transformation in your business.

This is a must-attend for anyone looking to integrate AI in a way that optimizes AI investments, complements their organization’s culture, solves actual business challenges, and positions them for lasting impact. Join us to explore how you can lead AI-driven change with purpose and impact.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a leading approach for creating ChatGPT-like applications tailored to custom or private datasets. In this workshop, developers and builders will learn what RAG is, the key components of a RAG stack, and understand some of the challenges involved in building RAG and chatbot applications at enterprise scale. Participants will learn how to use Vectara's RAG-as-a-service API to build a working chatbot for their own use-case including both front end and backend.

KEYNOTE (AI DevWorld): The Agentic Workforce Revolution: How to Futureproof Your Governance Framework

Wednesday February 12, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

AI DevWorld MAIN STAGE

Manish Rai, Snaplogic, VP of Product Marketing

The rise of AI agents shows no sign of slowing down, with the market projected* to grow tenfold from $5 billion in 2024 to nearly $50 billion by 2030. By this time, generative AI will be table stakes, and business and IT leaders will instead be grappling with how to manage an entire workforce of AI agents carrying out a range of automated tasks.

In an AI-powered future, enterprises are like gardens with AI agents as gardeners, helping the landscapers maintain the estate. These agents are smart, self sufficient tools, and excel at specific tasks, but if the tool shed is disorganized they will be slowed down — or worse, use the wrong soil or seeds and cause irreparable damage, preventing the garden from blooming to its full potential. To avoid this, organizations must keep their tools in order.

In this session, Manish Rai will explore a range of considerations for enterprises as they implement and scale a team of AI agents to set themselves up for long-term success. It will encompass topics such as function management, and how to govern the tools AI agents will have access to — while maintaining guardrails. As use cases for AI agents expand to non-technical teams, Rai will also discuss key stakeholders for overseeing implementation to prevent shadow data. Finally, he will provide tips for organizations seeking to rework their overall data governance framework to meet the moment head on, and be prepared for a new agentic workforce.

PRO Session: How Can Engineering Leaders Measure the Impact of GenAI

Wednesday February 12, 2025 3:30pm - 3:55pm PST

AI DevWorld MAIN STAGE

Yishai Beeri, LinearB, CTO

Generative AI has taken the world by storm since its general availability to the public in early 2023. Going from novel technology to commodity in months, this disruptive technology quickly found applications in the software development world - and many engineering organizations are trying to capitalize on the disruptive technology.

Nearly every engineering organization has adopted, or is thinking about adopting GenAI as a tool for developers. It has become wildly popular for everything from generating code, to writing and deploying tests, pull request reviews, experimentation and PoCs and much more. But who checks the machines?

In this talk I'll dive into the actual measurable outcomes - positive and negative - of adopting GenAI in engineering organizations. While engineering leaders rapidly jumped on the GenAI bandwagon, many are still struggling to quantify its value, not to mention manage its risks. This talk will discuss how and what to measure to understand adoption, quantify benefits and control risks in your initiative to leverage AI in your engineering organization. Join us to learn about the specific metrics you should be monitoring to ensure maximizing ROI on your GenAI engineering org initiatives.
