AI in the Enterprise: Governance, ROI, and the Push for Forward Compatibility
Podcast: Edge of ITPublished On: Thu Apr 09 2026
Description: As teams experiment with new tools and leaders push for AI-first thinking, many organizations are discovering that AI for AI's sake is just not cutting it. In this episode of Edge of IT, Jonathan Gough sits down with Demetrios Brinkmann, founder of MLOps Community, to explore the growing tension between personal AI use and organizational AI adoption. Together, they unpack why AI ROI remains so difficult to measure, where value is actually showing up today, and why simply layering AI onto existing processes can create more friction than progress. Jonathan and Demetrios also dig into the deeper questions emerging beneath the surface: how governance must evolve alongside capability, why coding agents and support workflows are becoming early proving grounds, and what it means to build with “forward compatibility” in mind as models, costs, and infrastructure continue to shift.If you’re trying to understand not just what AI can do, but how to adopt it without losing trust, clarity, or strategic direction, this episode is for you.
