HPE Agentic Smart City Solution

AI in the public sector isn’t a pilot anymore. It’s running in the real world. Check out my conversation from NVIDIA GTC in Washington with Robin Braun, VP AI Business Development, Hybrid Cloud at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Russell Forrest, Town Manager of Town of Vail. This one is important because it’s about AI for cities, not just AI for big tech. I had a blast interviewing both Robin and Russell.We talked about how HPE is using AI to tackle real problems every city deals with: traffic, safety, and energy efficiency. Robin walked through how you build a smarter, more connected city by turning live data into decisions that actually help people on the ground.Russell brought the city view from Vail. He explained what it takes to move from “we’re testing AI” to “we’re using this in operations.” We got into risk, cost, and how you deploy without adding complexity or slowing down public services.We also discussed agentic AI. Not as a buzzword, but as something that can help a town react in real time while still keeping humans in control.Better safety. Better visitor experience. Better use of resources. Same team.This is AI as public service infrastructure.Full interview is now live on LinkedIn and YouTube.#data #ai #nvidiagtc #nvidia #hammerspace #gpu #storage #theravitshow
