Peter HinssenGuest
Steve DurbinHost
Now, you were one of our keynote speakers at our annual congress back in twenty twenty-three.
Try to think back all that while, generative AI had just burst onto the scene, uh, and now it's, it's pretty much everywhere.
What's your take on that? Are we nearing maturity with it? Where are we, do you think?
I've been in the world of technology now for, ooh, thirty-three years, and honestly, the last three years have been the most exciting roller coaster ride I have ever seen.
I think the world we've gotten into as a result of AI has never been more exciting.
It's also never been more scary, and I think it's a fascinating thing where we've also never had so much technology become mainstream drama, and I think that's one of the fascinating things.
Sometimes I think we've arrived in The Real Housewives of Artificial Intelligence.
Now, they've become mainstream attention grabbers, but it's also a world where I have never seen so much money being involved.
And I've just calculated, when you look at the really big investments on our planet over the last seventy-five years-
the Manhattan Project, if you would calculate that in today's budget, is about thirty-five billion.
What four companies alone are spending just in infrastructure is twice the Apollo project, which is something we've never seen.
So I think it's a combination of excitement and awe, but one thing is for sure, this is a roller coaster ride.
