AI is transforming businesses at lightning speed, but behind the scenes it’s creating a massive data problem that most organizations aren’t ready for.

In this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw chats with Western Digital’s Ahmed Shihab to break down how AI is driving an unprecedented surge in data creation, why storage is becoming a critical bottleneck, and what IT leaders need to do before it’s too late.

From exploding storage costs to the shift from training to production workloads, plus the role of edge computing, cloud strategy, and agentic AI, this conversation explores the real infrastructure challenges powering the AI boom.

Watch now to understand why you can’t “delete your way out” of AI data growth, but also what comes next.
