SHOW NOTES:

WHEN TWO ERAS OVERLAP - CLOUD AND AI

• The early stages of a new era tends to be separate (cloud-native, AI-native), but eventually tends to build upon the previous era’s foundations
• It usually takes a decade before an era stops being important or prioritized 
• It usually takes 3-5 years before best practices for new applications emerge
• Finding new era talent is difficult (and expensive), but current era technology can be optimized (reduce costs, modernize)
• We’re going to see “Shadow AI” and “Bi-Modal Cloud/AI”
• The will be a lot of “X is Dead” during the first few years of the transition, until people (again) remember that nothing in IT dies - especially in the enterprise
• There will be a lot of numbers/reports coming out that seem completely contradictory - $B investment, but $0 ROI from users
