From Extreme Connect 2026 Orlando, USA - KB on the Go | Markus Nispel & Michael Jones

from KBKAST · host KBI.Media

Recorded live from Extreme Connect in Orlando, KB sits down with Markus Nispel, CTO EMEA & Head of Office of the CTO at Extreme Networks, and Michael Jones (MJ), VP of AI and Innovation, Office of the CTO at Extreme Networks. Markus gets into why networks are now a boardroom conversation, what real time data means for agentic systems, and the shift from human in the loop to human on the loop. He also unpacks the guardrails and controls that determine whether agentic AI becomes a trusted operator or a liability. MJ tackles agent sprawl, why context beats the model, and the “jagged edge of intelligence” where AI can do PhD level work one minute and fumble basic tasks the next. Plus why sitting out the experimentation phase is the most expensive thing you can do right now.
