NetApp Chief Marketing Officer Gabie Boko is joined by Thomas "T-Rob" Robinson, CEO of Domino Data Lab, for a conversation about one of the most persistent challenges in enterprise AI: moving from promising pilots to systems the business can trust and run every day. T-Rob explains why many AI initiatives struggle long before they reach production and why the underlying challenge often has less to do with models than with data, governance, and operational processes. The discussion covers the hidden cost of data scientist time, the growing importance of bringing AI to the data, and how organizations can build trust into their systems from the start rather than layering it on later. Gabie and T-Rob also discuss AI agents, reproducibility, data sovereignty, and why the most effective organizations treat their data infrastructure as a strategic advantage rather than operational overhead. Continue the conversation at NetApp INSIGHT 2026, September 29-October 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, where customers, partners, and technology leaders will come together to discuss what's next across AI, data, cloud, and cyber resilience.
