Frontier Organizations, Sovereign Systems, and the New Rules of AI

Everyone wants to talk about AI. Far fewer are ready to deal with what it actually demands. Recorded live at Mobile World Congress 2026, this episode of The Great Indoors pairs two sharply different but deeply connected conversations about the future of enterprise technology. In the first, Kathleen Mitford, Corporate VP, Global Industry Marketing at Microsoft, joins Liliana Schwartz Bruner, Amdocs GM, and Matthew Roberts to explain why AI leadership can no longer sit inside technical teams alone. As organizations push to become frontier organizations, AI is beginning to reshape not just productivity, but how marketing, sales, and leadership work together, how decisions are made, and how new growth opportunities are identified. The message is clear: the future will not belong to companies that simply adopt AI tools, but to those that know how to apply them with purpose. The second conversation, with Chris Antlitz, Principal Telecom Analyst at TBR, as he steps back to examine the wider landscape. Here, the focus shifts to sovereignty, trust, infrastructure constraints, geopolitical pressure, and the growing sense that the market is entering a necessary recalibration. From satellite and quantum to the limits of current AI deployment, Chris offers a candid assessment of what is real, what is overestimated, and what business leaders should be watching next.
