Ahead of Nvidia's (NVDA) fiscal third quarter results, Cisco (CSCO) executive vice president & chief product officer Jeetu Patel dives into the evolving AI market on Catalysts.

Patel acknowledges Nvidia's pioneering role, noting the company has "set the tempo" for AI innovation. While recognizing short-term market "hype" and "overestimation," he believes the long-term AI impact is "grossly underestimated" by many.

Breaking down the AI ecosystem, Patel identifies three critical components: compute infrastructure, AI models and algorithms, and data. However, recently he notes two more have arisen with networking and security infrastructure.

"Cisco actually plays pretty well in all 5 areas," Patel states, highlighting the company's ability to compete in this market.
