Build vs. Buy in the AI Era

The classic tech debate—build or buy—gets a high-stakes upgrade in the age of AI. Courtney Baker sits down with David DeWolf and Mohan Rao to unpack why two-thirds of vendor-led AI projects succeed while most in-house efforts fall short. Spoiler: it's not just about speed or cost—it's about compounding intelligence. You'll learn why the real question isn't "build or buy," but "what problem are we solving?" Plus, insights from new MIT research, a $2.8T infrastructure forecast, and you'll hear how one of David's AI predictions seems to be coming true.
