FinOps for AI
Artificial Intelligence is fueling innovation across every industry. But with great AI power comes great responsibility… and shockingly high cloud bills.
In this candid fireside chat, Kim Floss from PepsiCo and Lisa Gerger from Northrop Grumman explore how their organizations are striking the balance between AI innovation and financial accountability. You’ll hear real-world stories of how FinOps principles are being applied to manage the unpredictable cost patterns of AI workloads, create cultural alignment between tech and finance teams, and ensure every AI experiment has a business case to back it up.
Whether you’re just starting to explore AI or scaling models across your enterprise, this session will provide insight into:
- How large organizations are tracking and optimizing AI-related cloud spend
- Common cost pitfalls with AI workloads—and how to avoid them
- The cultural shifts needed to align innovation with cost discipline
- Lessons learned from building a FinOps-aware AI strategy
Join us for a lively discussion where ambition meets accountability—and where every algorithm comes with a receipt.
