Cisco Live! 2025: Jeetu Patel Has a Vision for Agentic AI

According to CDW's recent research report on AI, 44% of respondents said they're already using AI agents, and 32% said they've thoroughly explored their options for the use of AI agents. At this year's Cisco Live! in San Diego, Jeetu Patel, president and chief product officer at Cisco, seemed to agree with those results: "We are there today" when it comes to agentic AI, he said, "and what you're starting to see is, the rate of change is very rapid." However, the full breadth of possibility for AI is still constrained by several factors, including compute, power and security limitations.
