It is amazing, yet not surprising at all, that every single product or solution in the technology market today is touting AI. Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Artificial Intelligence from November 2023 has Generative AI right at top of “Peak of Inflated Expectations” – 100% accurate.
Gartner 2023 Hype Cycle for Artificial Intelligence
The speed at which this technology is being presented to the public and the Enterprise is breathtaking. Over the past 18 months several new resources, tools, and toys are now part of my daily routine:
What genuinely got my attention was when Microsoft released Copilot a few months back. At first it seemed like a Microsoft flavor of ChatGPT; however, when you asked it questions about data that was stored in Microsoft Teams and asked it describe services and offerings we have defined or a summary of work deliverables for a specific client, (to paraphrase Emeril) BAM – there it was. Then a colleague sent me a meeting summary Copilot had created after a call and the contextual awareness, semantic understanding, and easy to identify next steps blew me out of the water.
I see this same value proposition being communicated by Google at their recent Google Cloud Next conference. Their Day One recap was chock full of impressive technology announcements and demonstrations:
The ability to tie in a broad ecosystem of Enterprise data and collaboration tools is what is setting apart both Microsoft and Google at the moment in this AI enablement landgrab. This is not to say that AWS is without capabilities in this space. Amazon Bedrock , Q, and Amazon Sagemaker are already available or in preview for the development of apps at scale.
I have to wonder if the easy integration with Enterprise Data and collaboration tools makes adoption of AI technology easier in the short term with platforms like Copilot and Microsoft, a strong internal and external capability statement like Google has made, or an app specific focus like AWS is staking out.
As a spectator, it will be fun to see where this goes in the next two years, but AI has real stakes today for the modern Enterprise. Planning for it on a strategic level is something that the IntraSystems Advisory Division can help with. Reach out today and let’s talk!
