In this CloudTweaks interview, we speak with Miriam Haart, CEO of ActionAI, Stanford trained computer scientist, and star of Netflix’s My Unorthodox Life. Haart sits at the intersection of technology, ethics, and culture, advocating for AI systems that are transparent, reliable, and accountable. We explore how ActionAI is redefining AI that acts, why black box models fall short in mission critical environments, and how ethical design can ensure humans remain in control as AI becomes deeply embedded in enterprise decision making. - [AI Agents Know Too Much. Nobody’s in Charge of That Yet](https://cloudtweaks.com/2026/02/ai-agents-know-too-much-nobodys-in-charge-of-that-yet/): Your AI assistant knows your doctor, your salary, your boss's email, and what you had for lunch.

Leaders across industries are realizing that traditional cloud-first strategies are not sufficient for time-sensitive, AI-driven operations. Instead, edge computing is emerging as a strategic enabler, allowing AI systems to process data locally, respond faster, and operate securely near the source of data generation. The modern enterprise architecture has shifted from a "Cloud-First" mentality to a "Cloud-Right" framework, where the location of compute is determined by the speed of the required outcome rather than the convenience of the data center. - [Episode 28: Taming Kubernetes Complexity: Automation, Cost, and Control](https://cloudtweaks.com/2026/01/episode-28-taming-kubernetes-complexity-automation-cost-and-control/): In this episode of the CloudTweaks Podcast, host Steve Prentice speaks with Maxim Melamedov - CEO and Co-Founder of Zesty about why Kubernetes has become central to modern cloud, data, and AI workloads, and why it also introduces significant operational and financial challenges. - [AI in Cloud Optimization: From Reactive Cost Control to Intelligent FinOps](https://cloudtweaks.com/2026/01/cost-control-intelligent-finops/): Cloud adoption has matured rapidly over the last decade.

Gathering this data at scale is both expensive and technically challenging. - [Top 5 Unstructured Data Management Predictions for 2026 ](https://cloudtweaks.com/2025/12/unstructured-data-management-predictions/): Enterprises across industries are storing more data than ever. More than 5 petabytes (PB) is the new normal and more than 10PB is increasingly common. The theme for unstructured data management in 2026 is more of everything: more data, more investment, more pains and more AI security and risk concerns. Unstructured data growth is being driven by accelerated AI adoption, exploding digital exhaust and massive increases in rich media and sensor data. Yet more data also means more potential opportunity, if enterprises can efficiently identify, filter and classify data for the right use cases while also mitigating risks from AI. Next year, we predict that as AI inferencing adoption grows, organizations will realize the critical role unstructured data curation plays in AI ROI. - [Cloud Optimization: The Science of Making the Cloud Work Smarter](https://cloudtweaks.com/2025/12/making-cloud-work-smarter/): The cloud has become the backbone of modern digital transformation, powering everything from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises.
