In this episode of Built for Trust, host Nick Lippis sits down with Susie Wee, founder and CEO of DevAI and creator of Cisco DevNet, to explore what happens when human expertise meets artificial intelligence.

From her early work pioneering HDTV to leading global developer communities and now building AI powered solutions for IT teams, Susie has always seen technology as more than innovation. It is about people, purpose, and possibility.

Together, Nick and Susie discuss:

• How DevAI is helping IT professionals harness AI without replacing human judgment
• Why domain expertise is the key differentiator in the AI era
• The evolution from DevNet to DevAI and what it teaches us about building communities that adapt and thrive
• The future of enterprise automation and why trust, not tools, will define success

This is a conversation about innovation with empathy and a reminder that the future of AI is not just intelligent. It is human.
