This week on the Tech ONTAP Podcast, we sit down with global AI and digital transformation strategist Kamales Lardi to explore one of the most important conversations in modern IT: how to adopt AI responsibly, ethically, and effectively in the enterprise — with data at the core.

While AI capabilities continue to expand, most organizations still struggle with real-world implementation, scaling beyond pilots, and building trust within the business. Kamales shares why AI strategy must start with people, data governance, and business outcomes — not just tools and hype.
