Every enterprise is grappling with the same question: should we build AI capabilities ourselves, or partner with vendors? This panel will unpack the strategic trade-offs CIOs and CAIOs face when making AI infrastructure bets. Panelists will compare open-source frameworks, cloud-native platforms, and proprietary technology solutions—highlighting differences in cost, flexibility, speed to market, and risk. They’ll also share approaches to avoiding vendor lock-in, maintaining security, and ensuring long-term scalability. Attendees will leave with practical decision frameworks to guide their own build vs. buy strategies in the AI era.
