Citrix AI Hotsheet

Citrix AI Hotsheet is a podcast for the IT leaders, architects, and decision-makers responsible for bringing AI into real enterprise environments at scale. Hosts Brian Madden and Dave Brear come at every topic from two angles. Brian, a longtime voice in end-user computing, focuses on where AI is heading and what it means for the future of enterprise work. Dave, an enterprise architect who's spent two decades designing Citrix environments for some of the world's largest organizations, focuses on what actually works inside those environments today. Together they explore the space between vision and execution. Each episode digs into what's actually changing for enterprise AI: agentic systems and computer use, identity and governance for non-human personas, the economics of AI at scale, and what it takes to bring AI into environments that can't be ripped out and replaced. Straight talk for the people doing the work. The podcast homepage is at https://citrixaihotsheet.riverside.com A podcast from Citrix.
