The world of artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the most exciting and rapidly developing fields of technology. Chet Kapoor, CEO of DataStax, is at the forefront of this industry and is leading the charge in developing real-time AI applications. Kapoor has a wealth of experience in the tech industry, having worked for the likes of NeXT, Google, and Apogee.
Kapoor's primary goal at DataStax is to deliver real-time AI applications with the help of predictive AI, generative AI, and significant language models.
Kapoor has looked at the potential for AI to revolutionize the tech industry, and he believes the impact of AI will be a net positive. He believes that over time, a shift will occur that will reduce the need for manual labor but will lead to more jobs as AI is integrated into more businesses worldwide. While there could be a short-term increase in unemployment, this shift will result in bigger and better job opportunities in the long term.
Kapoor also believes that AI applications will enable businesses to reduce their costs. AI applications could reduce the cost of sales and marketing, as well as R&D, freeing up more resources for companies to invest in innovation. For example, the partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft will result in better governance regarding AI applications, and the collaboration between DataStax and Google will help combine predictive and generative AI.
