Description
What happens when AI stops being theoretical and starts changing the physical world? Recorded live at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Matthew Roberts is joined by Daniel Lawson, SVP, Global Solutions of Verizon Business and co-host, Ganesh Balasubramanian, VP, CBE at Amdocs, for a conversation about the moment enterprise technology seems to be entering now: where AI, 5G, edge computing, and connected devices are no longer separate conversations, but part of the same operational reality. From robotics on the show floor to real-world deployments in healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics, they explore what it means when long-promised technologies finally begin to converge at scale. The discussion looks closely at the platform challenge behind that shift. As Daniel explains, enterprise AI is not just about better models, but about building the orchestration, resilience, security, and connectivity needed to turn intelligence into action in the real world. Together, they unpack why the network is becoming a strategic layer again, and why platform simplification, stronger ecosystems, and partner-led innovation will be critical to delivering the next generation of enterprise use cases.
