The rise of AI adoption

Simon highlighted the rapid growth of AI adoption, citing predictions from Gartner that 80% of enterprises will be using generative AI APIs in production by 2026. He also discussed the various industries that are already leveraging AI, including pharmaceuticals, marketing, and film. For example, by 2025, 30% of new drugs in the pharmaceutical industry are expected to be created using generative AI, while 30% of outbound marketing messages from enterprises will be created and sent by generative AI.

Overcoming AI deployment hurdles

One of the major challenges of scaling AI adoption is data sovereignty and privacy. Simon emphasized the importance of having control over data and ensuring that it is not used for training purposes without consent. Civo's platform addresses this challenge by providing a privacy-focused and compliant solution that allows businesses to deploy AI models while maintaining full control over their data.

Josh demonstrated how Civo's platform simplifies the deployment of GPUs and LLMs, enabling businesses to deploy powerful AI models with minimal setup time. He also highlighted the importance of optimizing GPU performance to reduce costs and improve efficiency in AI and machine learning workflows.
