Artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI (gen AI), is in the midst of accelerated development and deployment. A surge in enterprise investments is testing hundreds of use cases and identifying the critical role that accelerated computing, cloud infrastructure, and automated development and data management toolchains play in supporting the production-scale operation of these powerful technologies. By automating routine tasks and unlocking new efficiencies, AI will likely revolutionize operations, from customer service to internal processes. This rapid adoption of AI technologies is liable to have profound economic consequences, reshaping industries, creating new markets, and altering the competitive landscape.
