The role of generative AI in revolutionizing the technology landscape and changing the nature of shadow resources powering applications is leading to discussions about a shift in the generative AI platform. AWS’s Matt Wood, Vice President of Artificial Intelligence Products, believes that the ability to construct mathematical formulas based on information resembles intelligence and reasoning, describing it as an emergent property.
In an exclusive interview with theCUBE at AWS Summit New York, Wood discussed the excitement around a potential generative AI platform shift, the integration of structured and unstructured data, and AWS’s vision for technology. The tech industry has been exploring the benefits and limitations of generative AI over the past 18 months, with significant energy, enthusiasm, and investment from customers.
Organizations are investing deliberately in generative AI, with some moving all development engineers to focus on it while others are progressing more slowly, especially in regulated industries. The dynamics between structured and unstructured data are also a hot topic, with Wood emphasizing the value of structured data in transactional and accounting systems.
Wood highlighted AWS’s efforts to leverage context within unstructured data, such as identifying tables within PDFs. The ability to provide additional context around information, like table headers, is crucial for enhancing user experience. Additionally, the announcement of the ability to build agent systems that operate autonomously and act on behalf of users demonstrates AWS’s commitment to advancing technology.
The video interview with Wood is part of SiliconANGLE and theCUBE Research’s coverage of AWS Summit New York, showcasing insights into the evolving landscape of generative AI and its potential impact on the technology industry. Overall, the discussion highlights the importance of adapting to new technologies and leveraging them to drive innovation and growth in various sectors.
