TechnologyCisco’s push for AI-written software and mandatory adoption
The Financial Times describes Cisco’s AI strategy in an interview with president Jeetu Patel, who says one product is entirely AI-written and employees cannot opt out of using the technology.
TLDR
Cisco president and chief product officer Jeetu Patel tells the Financial Times that AI adoption is not up for debate: employees who disagree can work elsewhere. He says Cisco has one product written entirely with AI, with no human-written lines, and plans to expand that approach. Patel argues that moving slowly in AI model development is riskier than moving fast, but also says security has not caught up with AI capabilities and that the risk is the highest it has ever been. He calls for real-time controls that can detect abnormal AI agent behavior and apply guardrails.
