An In-Depth Look at the Cisco CCDE-AI Infrastructure Certification

An In-Depth Look at the Cisco CCDE-AI Infrastructure Certification

Since OpenAI’s mic-drop moment at the end of last year, it seems that AI—and generative AI in particular—is suddenly everywhere. For network engineers, we see two big areas of change. The first is AI in the network: By integrating AI into networks, we can make those networks more secure, resilient, and higher-performing. The second is AI on the network. The networks that run AI workloads and support the training of generative AI models need to…
