Companies want to own the intelligence that makes their business valuable. So what will that mean for the AI models they use, and the systems they build around them? In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Justin Boitano, VP of enterprise AI at Nvidia, to explore why NVIDIA is investing in open models and how enterprises are turning them into specialized intelligence.
Boitano talks about why NVIDIA makes Nemotron's datasets, training techniques and model weights openly available, how proprietary business knowledge can become a competitive advantage, and why lower token costs can unlock much greater demand for AI. The conversation also examines why the agent harness that manages tools, memory and execution can matter as much as the model itself. Boitano shares how Nvidia worked with CrowdStrike on AI models for cybersecurity, why AI incidents need the equivalent of an aviation flight recorder, and how OpenShell moves agent controls into the infrastructure layer. Other topics covered: • Why NVIDIA is building open models alongside its chip business • What Nemotron needs to compete with China's open models • Owning institutional knowledge, protecting data and controlling AI costs • How model development helps NVIDIA improve hardware efficiency • Why harness engineering is becoming a new frontier for AI • Moving cybersecurity from finding bugs to verifying and fixing them • Transparency and learning from AI incidents • OpenShell, sandboxing and enforceable limits on agent access • How Justin uses Hermes as an AI chief of staff • Jensen Huang's approach to priorities and team alignment If you're deciding how to build enterprise AI, where your company's competitive advantage comes from, or how to give agents useful access without giving them unlimited control, this conversation offers a perspective from Nvidia's work across the ecosystem.

AI is making it easier for employees to work beyond their specialties and that has big implications for the future organizations of all sizes. In this episode of The Deep View Conversations, we sit down with Bill Barton, chief operating officer at Rokt and the former leader of the Alexa team at Amazon. Rokt has gotten called out by some of the biggest tech companies in the world for its innovative use of AI inside the company. In fact, several of them have had Rokt come and talk to their teams about how they do it. So we wanted to have Bill on the show to share those insights with a larger audience. Barton shares how Rokt is using an internal AI fleet across software development, finance, legal, security and other functions. He explains how AI is helping blur the boundaries between roles, why the company has moved from more than a dozen job ladders to four, and what it takes to turn experimentation into everyday practice. Other topics covered include: • Why Bill returned to Rokt after trying retirement • How AI is expanding the reach of generalists • Enabling shared AI experimentation companywide • Why fewer, more flexible systems can help teams move faster • How Barton thinks about productivity gains and hiring • What Google search reveals about frictionless AI • Why more powerful tools can make it harder to step away from work Bill also shares his six timeless attributes that can help anyone succeed in the AI era: relentlessness, resilience, rigorousness, inquisitiveness, optimism and humility. For leaders rethinking their teams and professionals navigating changing roles, this conversation connects the possibilities of AI with the habits and judgment needed to make them useful.
