Why Legacy Systems Are a Business Risk & the AI Trust Gap | SAP Sapphire 2026 | KB On The Go

KB is on the ground at SAP Sapphire 2026 in Orlando, where AI has moved beyond experimentation and into the center of enterprise decision making. In this KB On The Go episode, Maura Hameroff (CMO, Cloud ERP Private and RISE with SAP) makes the case that modernizing your core is a business transformation decision rather than a technical upgrade, and that companies still running on legacy systems carry more operational and security risk than most realize. Then Ted Way, PhD (VP & Chief Product Officer, Business AI Product Engineering, SAP) walks through what responsible enterprise AI actually takes: a governance layer, real business process knowledge, and data you can trust. As he puts it, AI first without security first is just a faster way to a data breach. A grounded look at what it takes to move from AI pilots to AI at scale without cutting corners that come back to bite you.
