DavidLinthicum · x · 2026-08-06
The article points out that the most critical question enterprise buyers should ask when procuring AI is: where does the AI actually run? Not the ideal environment shown in a demo, but where it operates when facing fragmented data, strict security rules, hybrid infrastructure, and zero tolerance for business disruption.
The author argues that "AI Anywhere" is becoming an over-marketed buzzword. Stretched across too many product categories, it sounds strategic but often fails to hold up in production environments. This is not just a branding issue, but a fundamental challenge of infrastructure implementation.
