In this moment from our interview with Cloud Wars CEO of the Year Thomas Kurian, we discuss the transformative relationship between AI and cloud technology.
Highlights
00:08 — AI has an interesting relationship with the cloud in the sense that AI simplifies the cloud even further, and the cloud simplifies AI. The cloud simplifies AI by giving you either a model or an accelerator as a service, meaning you get to use either GPUs or TPUs as a service.
00:51 — At the same time, AI is also simplifying the cloud. When you look at what Google Cloud is doing with its packaged Gemini for Workspace or Gemini for Google Cloud, it’s about simplifying access to the technology.
01:08 — Hiscox, a large insurer, used AI and Google Cloud’s data platform to streamline how it does risk calculations and quoting for complex risks.
