Summary
The potential of generative AI has re-oriented IT industry priorities, with accelerated product development, company formation, upskilling and, most importantly, infrastructure investment. However, we’ve seen this movie before – game changing technologies always generate market excitement, but once organizations get down to brass tacks and start implementing and productizing new technologies, old familiar problems come to the surface, including infrastructure capacity expansion, workload placement decisions, regulatory considerations, security issues, data management requirements and more.
In this webinar, Eric Hanselman and Melanie Posey will discuss the tech industry’s ongoing progress (or lack thereof) in tackling these issues and offer insights into what changes with generative AI (and what doesn’t).
