Will AI Fail Without a Live Infrastructure Model to Guide It? – Sponsor by Bright Tech on October 8th, 2026

At 3:00 PM EDT

Join us for an engaging roundtable discussion. As AI moves from recommendations to actions, does it understand enough about our infrastructure to act safely?

AI is rapidly moving beyond copilots and recommendations toward systems that can make decisions, initiate changes, remediate issues, and interact directly with enterprise infrastructure. But most organizations already operate across a complex mix of cloud platforms, networks, data centers, automation tools, observability platforms, ITSM systems, security tools, and legacy environments—each holding only part of the picture.

The question is whether AI can safely act across that environment without a continuously updated understanding of how everything is connected, what each system depends on, who owns it, what the intended state should be, and what could be affected by a change.

This peer discussion will explore whether existing CMDBs, telemetry, APIs, automation platforms, and documentation provide enough context for AI-driven operations—or whether organizations will need a more complete, live model of their infrastructure before greater autonomy becomes practical.
