In this moment, excerpted from the Generative AI Digital Summit event, which took place on May 25, Charles Lamanna, Corporate Vice President, Business Apps & Platform, Microsoft, discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) will transform software and digital companies.
00:12 — Every single software and digital company needs to go through transformation because “AI will eat software,” says Lamanna. In the future, AI will be the main user interface, the main way logic is decided, and the main engine for digital solutions and offerings.
00:39 — This type of shift happens rarely, but when it does, it is fast and amazing in its impact. What’s really unlocked this is the behind-the-scenes technology and foundation models. You have GPT or ChatGPT (as an application using the models). You have things like Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, or Runway.
01:23 — All of these capabilities enable things that were impossible five years ago. That’s why there’s so much excitement.
