The hard part of AI infrastructure is not the hardware

In two hours I am joining the MCDF workshop on AI Infrastructure to make a case that often gets skipped: the hard part of the Agentic State is not the models, it is the plumbing underneath.

Procurement, identity, interoperability, the rails that decide whether an AI agent can actually act on a citizen’s behalf. Get the infrastructure wrong and the Agentic State stays a slide deck.

If you work on DPI, AI, or what government looks like once agents are in the loop, come and join the conversation.
