Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Partner Summit 2025.

Is your encryption safe? Cisco’s Vijoy Pandey reveals why distributed quantum computing is coming in 2-3 years, not 10. Learn about the 'Store Now, Harvest Later' threat and how quantum networking changes everything, including the security of your VPN. This paradigm shift is 100x bigger than the ChatGPT/AI moment, requiring the entire theory of computer science to be rewritten.

Join us as we dive into the imminent future of cybersecurity, qubits, and
entanglement technology from Cisco.

#522: Does Traditional Encryption End in 2027?

Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Partner Summit San Diego 2025. 
 
This video is a deep dive with Jeetu Patel on why the real AI revolution is happening in infrastructure and networking, not just in GPUs or chatbots.
Jeetu explains that we are massively underestimating how much AI infrastructure the world will need. Power becomes the core constraint, GPUs are the core asset, and networking is the force multiplier that lets thousands of GPUs act as one system. He walks through how we went from models on a single GPU → 4–8 GPUs in a server → racks with hundreds of GPUs (like NVL-72 with 500+ GPUs) → clusters of racks, and now “scale across” between data centers when power and real estate are scattered across different regions.

The conversation then shifts to edge AI and Cisco Unified Edge: instead of doing all token generation in big data centers, some inference and token generation must move to the edge (branches, factories, hospitals, stadiums, stores) where data is created. Jeetu explains why edge devices need to be plug-and-play, remotely managed, and integrate compute, networking, security and observability in a single platform.

He also introduces the idea that AI is now constrained by three big bottlenecks:
• Infrastructure
• A trust deficit (people don’t trust AI yet)
• A data gap (models are mostly trained on human internet data, not on rich
machine data)

Jeetu explains how security becomes a prerequisite for productivity, not a trade-off, and describes Cisco’s work with Splunk, open-sourced time-series models, and machine data (logs, metrics, traces) to close the data gap by correlating machine data with human-generated data for better insights.
Globally, he talks about the “token generation race” – how every country now cares about having enough AI token generation capacity because it directly links to GDP and national security. He cites huge infrastructure build-outs with partners like G42 in the Middle East, at gigawatt and trillions-of-dollars scale.

Finally, Jeetu tackles the “AI will take my job” fear. He outlines three stages of
thinking:
1. “AI will take my job.”
2. “Someone who uses AI better will take my job.”
3. “Without AI, I won’t be able to do my job.”

His message to younger viewers: be excited, adopt AI as a companion, own your learning, and learn fast because AI compresses the time it takes to build skills.

#523: Why We Are MASSIVELY Underestimating AI Infrastructure Demand

Big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to the Cisco Partner Summit San Diego 2025 

Cisco Unified Edge & The Future of Physical AI (w/ Kevin Wolenweber) Kevin Wolenweber reveals Cisco's new Unified Edge device and details the massive Nvidia partnership transforming data centers. We discuss the shift to "Physical AI," the terrifying security challenges of autonomous Agentic AI, and why "Gigawatt" scale clusters are changing the landscape for network engineers in 2025.
