The overall cloud market is $250b and growing at 32% annually. AI is still a relatively small part of this, comprising $202.5 million in 2015—but forecast to reach $11.1 billion by 2024. It’s important to remember that humans have been taking swings at AI for over 60 years, and other technological building blocks had to be arranged—each a milestone in its own right—in order to get us to where we are today, and where we’re poised to reach tomorrow. The amount of processing power and the speed of data throughput required for high-performance artificial intelligence place functional AI right in the Cloud’s wheelhouse.
Hyperscalers are positioned to be the creators of AI products; with AWS, IBM Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud as the top four. Service providers can leverage their deep relationships with existing cloud-service clients to provide bespoke AI solutions across the business spectrum. The economic effect is then amplified out into the world by orders of magnitude as costs drop, productivity rises, and data is processed more effectively to surface game-changing insights. Getting ahead of the curve on AI constitutes a prime opportunity to deliver maximum change for your customers.
Cybersecurity
What can take down the internet? Can AI stop it? Can we stop it without AI? We will explore keeping bad actors out, immediately identifying and stopping abuse to prevent internet-crippling level threats.
AI Driven Uptime
Can AI can help route around problems? Humans are not good at proactive predictive analysis for things like traffic spikes. It’s an inherent human limitation: nobody has the cognitive bandwidth to manage hyperscale uptime manually!
Sales and Marketing
How to use AI for account-based marketing? We will show how ISVs can implement algorithms/AI to help their customers make better decisions with AI as a product component.
AI Reselling
AI enablement will be table stakes sooner rather than later, as a step in the cloud’s evolution. Very few companies can achieve this on their own, so you as a Service Provider fulfill a crucial role in the cloud ecosystem by helping your customers step up.
AI and The Human Brain
The whole idea of meditation in general is processing the information thrown at you so you can deal with life. You’re essentially managing a DDOS attack. Mindfulness lets you process everything.
