In this Growth Swarm moment, excerpted from episode 32 of the podcast, Bob Evans shares the set of questions he sent to Microsoft to gain clarity in light of recent comments from CEO Satya Nadella about AI being “the next computing platform.”
Highlights
00:12 — Microsoft may have the most influential technology in the world, Bob notes. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella talked about how artificial intelligence (AI) will become “the next computing platform.”
00:32 — Bob sent Microsoft a few questions about this positioning to help our audience — the technology buyer — understand Nadella’s statements:
- If AI is or will shortly be the next computing platform, what is the current platform that Nadella is saying will be replaced or overtaken?
- If AI is the “next computing platform,” how does Microsoft describe the cloud in that context? If the cloud isn’t the current computing platform, then how does Microsoft see AI — “the next computing platform” — and the cloud co-existing?
- How does Microsoft see the future interaction between AI and the cloud?
01:20 — By sending these questions, Bob’s goal is to help people gain a better understanding of how these two powerful technologies will work together.
