AI for Networking & Networking for AI: Both Are Big Markets

As AI reshapes enterprise infrastructure, most conversations focus on models, agents, and applications. But beneath it all, the network is being fundamentally redefined.

In this episode of the Built for Trust Podcast, Nick Lippis speaks with Vishal Shukla, Co-Founder and CEO of Aviz Networks, about the two dimensions shaping the future: building networks for AI workloads and using AI to operate them.

They explore how agentic operations are evolving toward autonomy, why the network is emerging as the real bottleneck, and how distributed inference and AI factories are changing performance requirements.

The conversation also tackles build vs. buy decisions in a rapidly evolving landscape, including where to standardize, what to build vs. buy, and how to get started without falling behind.

If you’re navigating AI infrastructure decisions, this episode makes one thing clear: the winners won’t be those who pick the right tools, but those who build systems that can adapt as everything changes.
