GenAI's Real Impact on the Workforce | Cloud Wars Live

Episode 445 | Reflecting on 2 Years of
Generative AI


The Big Themes:



GenAI's Anniversary: Reflecting on the
two-year anniversary of GenAI hitting the mainstream, Bonnie
notes that in reality, we still haven't seen a lot of changes
yet in the sense that AI hasn't taken our jobs. The overall
consensus is that many people are using it to increase
productivity; the idea that we're replacing half the workforce
overnight is not coming to be.


Rapid Implementation: While some companies may
not have much flexibility on their implementation timeline,
fast and cheap isn't necessarily the best way to incorporate
AI. Rapid implementation can lead to unanticipated risks and
increased costs in the long run.


Software Vendors and Partners: For customers
to truly benefit from implementing AI, they need good partners
to help them be realistic with their timelines and options. The
good software vendors and partners are cautioning customers to
ensure they know what they're getting into and making
deliverables clear.



The Big Quote: “Work with a partner that you trust and that's
going to tell you the truth...They've seen it a million times.
They know you as well and they know your resources. They know the
scope of your project. Find those partners that you can really
trust and they're going to help you [and] lead you on the right
path.”
