Frankfurt, May 7, 2023. Artificial intelligence writes texts and designs illustrations. Simple voice commands are often sufficient for this. The basis is deep learning. This is an artificial neural network modeled on the human brain. Overall, the potential applications seem almost limitless.
“Generative AI can no longer be described as a science fiction fairy tale. Rather, it is already perceptibly influencing the real world. This is because it is driving digital development forward with revolutionary power,” explains Jerome Evans, founder and CEO of firstcolo GmbH.
The metaverse, as a future vision for the tech industry, is also increasingly taking shape under the influence of AI. At the same time, the next phase of digital business is being initiated in cloud computing. This is because companies are breaking new ground through technologies such as generative AI, Web3, and the metaverse.
According to Gartner’s latest forecast, global end-user spending on public cloud services will rise significantly by 2023. Specifically, it will increase by 21.7% to $597.3 billion. For comparison: in 2022, the figure was $491 billion (Source: Forecast: Public Cloud Services, Worldwide, 2021–2027, 1Q23 Update).
For many companies, the use of AI-as-a-Service is already part of everyday life. This is because the cloud offers tailored AI services. These include, among other things, flexible resources for memory, computing power, and storage.
AI services are booked via a dedicated dashboard. Only the resources actually used are billed. In addition, high-performance GPU computing capacities can also be rented flexibly.
“If companies want to better protect sensitive data, they can rely on hybrid models,” Evans explains. In this case, business-critical data is stored in the private cloud. At the same time, computing power and algorithms come from the public cloud. Furthermore, public cloud providers offer sophisticated cybersecurity measures. They also ensure high reliability, which smaller data centers often cannot provide.
