When considering technological advancement, which of these two technologies was more history-altering, Artificial Intelligence (AI) or the Cloud?
This simple question can spark an unending debate since there is no correct answer. The best thing about how technology has changed our lives is that it was always more than one development of advancement driving the change. Often, technologies work together to bring about advancement, efficiency, and change without us realizing it. For decades, we have been reading about how the internet is the best thing that has happened. Over time, the honor shifted to mobile communication. The past few years have been all about Cloud Computing. One thing that remained constant throughout the years and decades was artificial intelligence.
Just two decades ago, AI seemed like a concept limited to Hollywood movies and science fiction. However, AI is behind most of the technology we use today. We have already witnessed the creation of self-driving cars, and some robots can pass standardized tests with flying colors. But is AI only limited to robotics? Not quite! When merged with other technologies, AI can amplify their abilities and remove their limitations. Surprisingly, it is doing the same to cloud computing.
What Happens When AI Meets Cloud Management?
Technology gurus are already working on a new breed of AI-powered cloud computing technologies. With Artificial Intelligence driving the applications, we can reach a whole new level of automation. It is not outlandish to expect self-driving applications to become capable of making a decision. The decisions will be based on real-time data and an intelligent assessment of that data.
This will not only save time but also ensure a better, more calculated decision. This is great news for enterprises dealing with Big Data.
In fact, we can say that Big Data has been a critical factor behind the merger of AI in cloud management. The Internet of Things (IoT) can also be counted as Big Data’s accomplice as more and more enterprises are deploying technology based on IoT. Overall, we see a symbolic explosion of data, and we need smarter technology to process, analyze, utilize, and manage it better quickly.
The Age of AI-Driven Enterprises
If you still think AI is a thing of the future, look at the smartphone in your hand. Apple or Android, every modern smartphone has a virtual assistant that helps you with tasks and makes decisions based on your previous patterns. Cortana, Alexa, Siri—it is all AI, and if you have been using them for a while, you know how they have made your life easier.
Now, shifting the focus from consumers to enterprises, enterprises will enjoy similar benefits. According to Google’s CEO, enterprises are moving from mobile-first to AI-first. The AI-first approach will optimize how data is collected, organized, secured, and even governed by enterprises and data professionals. However, getting clear and accurate insights from the data would be easier. More importantly, making optimal decisions based on that data would be easier. It will be easier to leverage larger volumes of data efficiently.
Artificial Intelligence as a Service
As the cloud is merging with AI, many vendors have started offering AI as a service through open-source platforms. This has opened the door to smarter, more innovative solutions to problems that were previously too complicated or costly to resolve. Furthermore, AI-aaS (Artificial Intelligence as a Service) will allow startups and small businesses to shift to a smarter version of the cloud without paying excessive money.
Conclusion
One thing remains evident in the ongoing debate between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud Computing’s historical impact: their fusion reshapes the future. The synergy between AI and the Cloud propels automation, efficiency, and innovation to unprecedented heights. From self-driving applications to AI-driven enterprise solutions, the convergence of these technologies promises transformative possibilities.
As AI permeates cloud management, enterprises navigate the era of AI-driven decision-making and data optimization. The emergence of AI as a service democratizes access to advanced capabilities, empowering businesses of all sizes to harness the power of intelligent technologies. In this evolving landscape, the narrative shifts from mere technological advancement to a narrative of symbiotic evolution, where AI and the Cloud coalesce to redefine the contours of possibility in the digital age.
