Transcript

Everyone. We're at RSA, and I'm here with Jeetu Patel, Cisco's EVP, chief product officer, and all around AI visionary. And today, we're putting him in the hot seat for a rapid fire round on all things AI. What's best, what's bold, and what it really means for our customers. No, Jeetu, first question. What is your boldest prediction for AI at Cisco in the next two years? The next two years, I'd say that the short staffed security professionals and practitioners that struggle right now with keeping up with the volume of attacks that are coming at them, I hope we can make their lives infinitely easier by automating a lot of the breach detection, investigation, and response and remediation. Great answer, Gtoo. And how would you answer this question? In the next five years, AI will Achieve super intelligence and security. Love that answer. And what would you say are the opportunities available in AI right now? To fundamentally reimagine how every workflow rank security can make us more safe and secure as we start having accelerated adoption. And how would you describe Cisco's AI vision in one sentence? That we are the picks and shovels equivalent during the good rush by providing infrastructure to make AI actually happen. And I'm super curious, g two. Yes. Would you rather fight one AI powered hacker or 100 human hackers? Oh, that's so easy. 100 human hackers. Thank you, g two. Thank you, Michelle.
