@paullewis @howardholton @carlosevargasvip #AI #GenerativeAI #Gartner #GCP #AWS #Azure What to expect from this year's Gartner Conference 2024 Key Message. In this episode, we revisit Gartner's 2023 predictions and discuss why some of their forecasts, particularly around AI, may have fallen short. We dive into the challenges companies faced in adopting 'everyday AI' and how the ambitious vision of 'game-changing AI' still seems out of reach for many. As we look ahead to Gartner’s 2024 conference, we explore whether the continued push for AI dominance is realistic or if it's setting organizations up for unattainable goals. Will the future of AI live up to the hype, or are we heading towards unmet expectations again?
