Snowflake's CEO says people often fall into 2 camps when it comes to AI - and both are wrong
"AI often sparks strong reactions, with people predicting either a near-term utopia - or the end of the world as we know it. Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy told Business Insider that individuals on the hype end of the spectrum tend to jump quickly to promises of unlimited prosperity. The CEO said that the other extreme includes those who believe AI will lead to a doomsday scenario."
"Ramaswamy said that this sort of thinking is "very human," but that neither of those scenarios is "all that likely." "The biggest misconception would be that of thinking about AI as an all or nothing," Ramaswamy said. The real value of AI, he said, is likely to be nuanced and show up in specific use cases. Ramaswamy added that his advice to customers is to "be very incremental" with AI adoption."
All-or-nothing thinking about AI is a misconception, with reactions polarized between utopian promises and doomsday fears, neither of which is likely. Real value appears in nuanced, specific use cases that produce measurable impact. Companies should adopt AI incrementally, iterate rapidly, and avoid rigid multi-year fixed roadmaps because technology is changing quickly. Clear frameworks are necessary to prioritize where AI efforts matter most. Organizations that build and run software must deeply integrate AI into how they create, deploy, sell, and install products, focusing on nailing operational execution while progressing bit by bit.
