AI in Infrastructure Podcast

AI in Infrastructure Podcast

The AI in Infrastructure podcast focuses on how AI and adjacent capabilities are built, deployed, and scaled inside the world's largest enterprises from data platforms and GPUs to orchestration, governance, and energy management. As organizations modernize their technical foundations, these systems increasingly determine not only AI performance but long-term competitiveness. Published by Emerj AI Research and hosted by staff, the AI in Infrastructure podcast features conversations with Fortune 500 leaders and experts at the forefront of enterprise architecture and AI operations. Together, we examine high-level infrastructure trends and anticipate how emerging capabilities will shape the systems that support generative and agentic AI. As with all our Emerj programming, interviews featured on AI in Infrastructure are non-technical, focusing on what adjacent business leaders need to know to guide teams, steward governance, and make informed decisions about the platforms and infrastructure powering AI at scale.

    Love Trapped

    Former Bachelor Clayton Echard’s casual one-night fling turned into a paternity nightmare. When the news broke about the scandal, no one believed Clayton at first. He was a reality TV star, and an unpopular one at that. Clayton found himself trying to prove the truth, while trapped in a web of lies, manipulation, and threats. He would soon discover he was not the only one. At its core, this is a story about who you believe and why. It’s an epic battle that would take a group of strangers, citizen sleuths from across the world, to crack the case and finally hold someone accountable. New episodes of Love Trapped are released every Thursday, starting February 26th, 2026.
