The use of artificial intelligence tools in companies around the world will reach a whole new level in the coming years as the hardware necessary to ensure their effective performance finally hits the market, Dell CEO stated.
In his keynote speech at Dell Technologies World 2024 in Las Vegas, the company's CEO and president, Michael Dell, noted that we are on the path to the next stage of technological development, powered by AI.
“All that progress that came before was really a pre-game show, and we're moving from computing to cognition, into the age of AI,” he told event attendees. “We are unleashing technology that will unleash scientific technology and development… to transform the way we live and work.”
“AI wave”
“The wave of AI is huge,” Dell continued, “over time, the application of AI will be like the Internet: it will be as ubiquitous as the Internet, as electricity.”
“It's both a sprint and a marathon…the adoption and demand for AI is unprecedented – it will impact every industry, in every organization.”
But along with all the hype and positive statements, Dell was also careful to warn of the positive harmful effects of AI if the technology were used for malicious purposes.
“The real question is not how big AI can be, but how much good AI is going to do… and how much good it can do for the world.” Dell asked.
“Everyone will have access to this technology, which will quickly become smarter and more powerful – and in the wrong hands, it is a powerful threat.”
“AI must be trained within the parameters of our morality, our beliefs, our laws and our humility… for eventually, AI will be at the center of all our lives.”
Dell outlined its company philosophy of “AI for human progress,” with projects and use cases ranging from healthcare to environmental efforts.
“For us to harness the possibilities of AI, we must do so responsibly and address barriers to adoption comprehensively,” he concluded. “We stand ready to support government leaders and together shape a safe, innovative and inclusive future for AI by making the right decisions.”
