Why are enterprises struggling to turn AI hype into real workplace transformation, and how is Lenovo using agentic AI to actually close that gap? In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith talks with Rakshit Ghura about how his team is reinventing the modern workplace with an omnichannel AI architecture powered by a fleet of specialized agents.


We explore how Lenovo has evolved from a hardware company into a global solutions provider, and how its Care of One platform uses persona based design to improve employee experience, reduce downtime, and personalize support across IT, HR, and operations. You will learn what enterprises get wrong about AI readiness, why trust and change management matter more than technology, and how organizations can design workplace stacks that meet employees where they are.


We also cover how Lenovo approaches responsible AI, how enterprises should think about security and governance when deploying agents, and why so many organizations are enthusiastic about AI but still not ready to adopt it. Rakshit shares real examples from retail, manufacturing, and field operations, including how AI can improve uptime, automate ticket resolution, monitor equipment, and provide proactive insights that drive measurable business impact.


You will also learn how to evaluate ROI for digital workplace solutions, how to involve employees early in the adoption cycle, and which metrics matter most when scaling agentic AI, including uptime, productivity improvements, and employee satisfaction.

Why is AI inference becoming the new battleground for speed, cost, and real world scalability, and how are companies like Clarifai reshaping the AI stack by optimizing every token and every deployment?

In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith sits down with Clarifai founder and CEO Matt Zeiler to explore why inference is now more important than training and how a unified compute orchestration layer is changing the way teams run LLMs and agentic systems.

We look at what makes high performance inference possible across cloud, on prem, and edge environments, how to get faster responses from large language models, and how to cut GPU spend without sacrificing intelligence or accuracy. Learn how organizations operate AI systems in regulated industries, how government teams and enterprises use Clarifai to deploy models securely, and which bottlenecks matter most when running long context, multimodal, or high throughput applications.

You will also hear how to optimize your own AI workloads with better token throughput, how to choose the right hardware strategy for scale, and how inference first architecture can turn models into real products. This conversation breaks down the tools, techniques, and design patterns that can help your AI agents run faster, cheaper, and more reliably in production.

How will AI evolve once it can understand and reason about the 3D world, not just text on a screen?

In this episode of Eye on AI, host Craig Smith speaks with Fei Fei Li about the rise of spatial intelligence and the world models that could transform how machines perceive, imagine, and interact with reality.

We explore how spatial intelligence goes beyond language to connect perception, action, and reasoning in physical environments. You will hear how models like Marble build consistent and persistent 3D spaces, why multimodal inputs matter, and what it takes to create digital worlds that are useful for robotics, simulation, design, and creative workflows. Fei Fei also explains the challenges of long term memory, continuous learning, and the search for training objectives that mirror the role next token prediction plays in language models.

Learn how spatial reasoning unlocks new possibilities in robotics and telepresence, why classical physics engines still matter, and how future AI systems may merge perception, planning, and imagination. You will also hear Fei Fei's perspective on the limits of current architectures, why true understanding is different from human understanding, and how world models could shape the next generation of intelligent systems.
