09 Jesse Gorzinski Unleashed: AI, Open Source, and IBM i’s Bright Future

May 11, 2025 • Season 8 • Episode 9

09 Ready to rethink what’s possible on IBM i?

In this episode, IBM’s Jesse Gorzinski returns to share how AI is not just a buzzword — it’s already happening inside your IBM i environment. From open-source innovations to on-chip acceleration in Power10, Jesse breaks down the tools, tech, and transformations redefining the platform.

We cover:

How Power10 accelerates AI on the chip — no GPU required
Tools like Manzan and Mopapi that make IBM i smarter and more connected
New AI integration frameworks like Tirico that let RPG developers “ask AI” with a single function
Why on-prem AI means better security, lower latency, and real-time insights
How IBM i is shaking off old stereotypes and stepping into the AI spotlight

Whether you're an RPG developer, a systems architect, or just AI-curious, this episode is packed with insights, energy, and — of course — a few laughs.
