Generative AI is not an overhyped passing trend; it could transform the world as we know it. So say the executives of Google and Amazon.

During an in-depth conversation with VentureBeat Founder Matt Marshall at the VentureBeat Transform 2023 conference today, Gerrit Kazmaier, VP of Data and Analytics at Google Cloud, and Matt Wood , vice president of product at Amazon Web Services (AWS), discussed the opportunities and risks of generative AI.

Wood called gen AI "the most important and transformative technology that will change the way we interact with data and information and each other, probably since the advent of the very first web browser." Data is the foundation of generative AI success

Kazmaier is also extremely enthusiastic about generation AI as a way for organizations to unlock the value of data in ways that weren't easy or even possible before. He noted that generative AI models are now available to everyone.
