“Buy the commodity, build the differentiator. Treat foundation models as a rented utility, and the layer worth owning is your data, your workflows, your orchestration.”Farhan Hussain, LinkedIn recap
Coverage: Leon Capital Group on LinkedIn · Farhan's recap on LinkedIn
Healthcare, finance and capital markets firms handle data they can't send to just any model. Farhan walks through how he weighs private LLMs against public tools on data control, security, cost and speed to deploy.
Moving an AI pilot into production means facing real data, real users and a security review. This talk covers what an AI system needs in place before it goes live inside an enterprise.
Farhan heads both AI and cybersecurity at Leon Capital Group. He explains why he plans them together and what security teams should ask about every AI system before it ships.
Each of these sectors has its own data, rules and risks. Farhan covers how a multi-sector firm can share one AI foundation and still meet each sector's requirements.
Farhan heads five divisions at Leon, from engineering to digital marketing. This talk looks at what changes when the teams that build, secure and sell technology report to the same leader.
Farhan started as a network engineer and spent most of his career in enterprise architecture before leading AI. He covers the infrastructure lessons that still apply when the system is a model.
