Zero Trust taught enterprises not to trust identities. Agentic AI demands something harder. Not simply verifying identities, but continuously validating autonomous decisions. This is the next architectural shift in enterprise security. The identity may…
Day 24 of Green, Efficient AI is live: The Data That Trained It. Every AI model remembers the data that trained it. Few teams remember the footprint of producing that data. The most expensive part of a training project can happen before training ever starts.…
From Zero Trust to Zero Assumption for Agentic AI systems. I believe this is the next evolution of enterprise security for Agentic AI. Zero Trust transformed security by ensuring that no identity is trusted by default. But autonomous AI systems introduce a…
Day 22 opened the first embodied category by putting the silicon in the rack on the ledger, and named the two levers behind it: how long the hardware runs, and the grid it runs on. Today's issue turns to the second embodied category. The model itself. Every…
Day 23 of Green, Efficient AI is live: The Model Keeps Its Environmental Receipts. Every model in production carries a receipt for what it cost to exist. Training was a paid event. The footprint closed the moment the run finished, and the model has been…
Discover Google's latest Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform—and learn how to build AI agents that are efficient by design. In this episode, I explore Google's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, announced at Google Cloud Next, and show how it can be used to build…
Sustainability advances faster when governments, industry, and innovators move together. It's great to see the CleanEnviro Summit Singapore highlights video now live. Thank you to the CleanEnviro Summit Singapore team for featuring highlights from my keynote.…
Discover Google's latest Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform—and learn how to build AI agents that are efficient by design. In this episode, I explore Google's Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform , announced at Google Cloud Next, and show how it can be used to…
Every major technological revolution has created a new management discipline. The Industrial Revolution gave rise to Operations Management, enabling factories to scale production through standardized processes and quality control. The Information Age…
HR for AI Agents? It sounds unusual today. In a few years, it may become a standard enterprise function. As organizations deploy hundreds—or even thousands—of AI agents, managing them won't be just an engineering problem. It will become a management…
Day 21 opened the embodied carbon arc by drawing the boundary between operational emissions (what the system draws while running) and embodied emissions (what the system cost to exist). That framing named three embodied categories: hardware, training, and…
Day 22 of Green, Efficient AI is live: The Silicon in the Rack. A cloud-native platform team approved a hardware refresh. Newer accelerators. Better performance per watt. Clean operational case. The sustainability lead asked one question before signing off,…
Day 20 closed the arc on the system around the model with a single frame: once capacity is standing, the bill runs on wall-clock, and utilization becomes the number that matters. That frame covered operational emissions — the electricity, cooling, and compute…
Day 21 of Green, Efficient AI is live — The Footprint Already Spent. A financial services company published its AI carbon report. Every inference call metered. Every kilowatt-hour tracked. Grid intensity factored in by region. The number looked clean. An…
49 new efficient skills for your AI agent. The kind that spot waste — before your cloud bill or carbon footprint does. The latest edition of Technology Bytes is live — and it comes with something you can actually use, starting today. Last article, I wrote…
Organizations around the world are investing billions in Agentic AI. New foundation models are released almost every month, intelligent agents are becoming more capable, and the pace of innovation has never been faster. So why are so many organizations still…
In the last edition of Technology Bytes, I wrote about something our industry has been overlooking — one of the most important AI skills of all. Efficiency. Not efficiency as an afterthought. Efficiency as a skill that every AI agent should learn from the…
Organizations around the world are investing billions in Agentic AI. New foundation models are released almost every month, intelligent agents are becoming more capable, and the pace of innovation has never been faster. So why are so many organizations still…
Artificial intelligence has become remarkably capable. Today's AI agents can search the web, write software, analyze documents, reason through complex problems, interact with enterprise systems, and even collaborate with other agents to accomplish…
AI Skill = Capability × Efficiency Today's AI agents are measured by what they can do. Can they search? Can they reason? Can they write code? Can they use tools? Can they collaborate with other agents? But as enterprises move from deploying a handful of…
Day 19 covered the compute the team triggers itself — evals on merge, LLM-as-judge sweeps, notebook experiments — and walked the Meter, Gate, Sample, Substitute ladder that moves it from an unbudgeted reflex into a governed line on the bill. That closes the…
Day 20 of Green, Efficient AI is live — The Capacity That Waits. A retail team ran per-call optimizations across their assistant for months. The bill barely moved. When they pulled utilization data across the full stack — model endpoints, vector database,…
Speaking at Google I/O on Lean Agentic AI: as organizations scale from a handful of agents to thousands, systems must be efficient by design — across cost, energy, and carbon. Slides and demo available on GitHub.
It was a pleasure speaking at the Google I/O event on Lean Agentic AI. As organizations move from deploying a handful of AI agents to thousands, efficiency can no longer be an afterthought. We need to design agentic systems that are efficient by design—across…
Tomorrow, I'll be speaking at Google I/O Connect, Bengaluru on a topic I've become deeply passionate about: Lean Agentic AI. We're entering an era where organizations will deploy not one or two agents—but thousands. The question is no longer: can we build…
