You can also watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/RXWMOA46Em8 Together with Marco Kormann (AWS), we explore how Generative AI is reshaping the way consumers search, discover, and shop — and what that means for brands and retailers. To do that, we are accompanied by two star guests: Richard Lim, CEO at Retail Economics, and Charley Hackerson, CRO at Botify. Tune in to learn about: How GenAI is disrupting the consumer journey and rewriting the rules of search Why traditional SEO tactics aren't enough in an LLM-driven world What agentic retail means — and how it could transform FMCG buying behavior The role of data infrastructure and governance in staying AI-ready How leading retailers are adapting their digital strategies to remain visible and relevant  

Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly recognizing the importance of adopting artificial intelligence (AI) to stay competitive in the market. A recent survey indicates that 97% of small businesses utilizing voice AI agents have seen revenue increases. However, many SMBs still perceive AI as complicated or unnecessary, with 63% expressing concerns about their foundational capabilities to support AI initiatives. Despite these hesitations, research shows that 91% of SMBs that have integrated AI report revenue gains, highlighting a significant opportunity for those willing to embrace the technology.The demand for AI expertise is surging, with a notable shortage of talent in the IT sector. Over half of IT leaders report facing an undersupply of AI skills, a figure that has increased from 28% in previous years. While 90% of organizations are piloting or investing in AI initiatives, more than two-thirds of leaders have yet to see measurable returns on their investments. This skills gap emphasizes the need for IT service providers to step in as guides, helping SMBs navigate the complexities of AI adoption and implementation.Cloud spending has also surged, reaching $90.9 billion in the first quarter of 2025, driven by the need to optimize cloud infrastructure for AI applications. Major cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud dominate the market, but the increasing complexity of cloud computing necessitates external expertise. IT service providers have a unique opportunity to position themselves as AI infrastructure enablers, focusing on simplifying hybrid cloud management and aligning cloud strategies with business objectives, particularly in relation to AI.Recent studies, including one from the University of Oxford, highlight the limitations of large language models (LLMs) in real-world applications, particularly in critical sectors like healthcare. While LLMs may perform well in controlled environments, their effectiveness diminishes when humans interact with them. This underscores the importance of designing AI systems that prioritize human outcomes over mere model accuracy. As companies like Zoom, MailChimp, and Microsoft launch new AI tools, the focus for IT service providers should shift from merely selling AI tools to ensuring responsible and effective deployment that delivers measurable value. Four things to know today 00:00 SMBs See AI as Key to Growth but Struggle With Skills and Strategy, Opening Door for IT Service Providers04:53 AI Boom Fuels 21% Surge in Global Cloud Spend, Forcing Providers to Tackle Hybrid Complexity and Cost Pressures07:38 AI Can Diagnose—But Can People Use It?

After an informative 45-day trial run, the Department of the Navy is getting set to expand its rollout of emerging AI capabilities for sailors, Marines and civilians to speedily adopt in support of their daily operations — via its new DoN GPT tool. Jacob Glassman, who serves as senior technical advisor to the assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition, told DefenseScoop Thursday that this is a new way for the Navy to rapidly innovate and rapidly prototype. GenAI encompasses the field of still-maturing technologies that can process huge volumes of data and perform increasingly “intelligent” tasks — like recognizing speech or producing human-like media and code based on human prompts. These capabilities are pushing the boundaries of what existing tech can achieve. Still, according to Glassman, the Navy has historically “struggled with AI adoption.” Amazon has received federal authorizations that allow Anthropic's Claude and Meta's Llama AI models to be used within high-sensitivity government computing environments, the company's cloud computing division announced Wednesday. The company has achieved FedRAMP “High” authorization as well as at the Defense Department's Impact Levels 4 and 5 for use of the two foundation models in AWS GovCloud, its government cloud environment, according to a blog post by Liz Martin, Department of Defense director at Amazon Web Services. That means it's met the security requirements needed for the AI models to be used with some of the government's most sensitive civilian and military information, and per Martin, it's the first cloud provider to receive that level of authorization for Claude and Llama.

En el Radar Empresarial de hoy analizamos a Anthropic: según cuenta en exclusiva Reuters, la tecnológica consigue llegar a la cima de los 3.000 millones de dólares en ingresos, lo que la coloca en una de las compañías a seguir dentro del mundo de la Inteligencia Artificial. Y es que muchos de estos ingresos provienen del campo de la IA, donde la compañía tiene numerosos tratos con algunas de las empresas más importantes del mundo. Estos ingresos en su mayoría vienen de la venta de modelos de IA a otras compañías. De todas ellas, hay dos de las siete magníficas: Amazon, que ha invertido en la empresa 8 mil millones de dólares, y que utiliza sus servicios de programación y a cambio Anthropic utiliza Amazon Web Services como su principal proveedor de nube. La otra compañía es Google: la empresa se sirve de los modelos de lenguaje de Anthropic, conocidos como Claude. En una entrevista para la CNN, Amodei aseguró que que la IA podría destruir hasta un 20 % de empleo en cinco años. Además, el director ejecutivo advirtió al gobierno estadounidense de que los efectos podrían ser devastadores si no se prepara el terreno. Para él, los cambios en la tecnología siempre han existido, pero no a la velocidad que ha ocurrido con la Inteligencia Artificial. Lo más chocante de la entrevista es que un hombre de su posición vaticine estas malas condiciones laborales. ¿Por qué Amodei lanza estos mensajes? El crecimiento de Anthropic le ha sacado a la palestra y le ha creado como era de esperar rivalidades, sobre todo con Open AI. De hecho, Amodei desempeñó labores como vicepresidente de investigación hasta 2021. El desarrollo de las dos ha dejado estas dos alianzas: Amazon-Anthropic y Microsoft y OpenAI. Aunque con una diferencia: Open AI con su Chat GPT está enfocado al consumidor mientras que Anthropic está creciendo a través de sus servicios a empresas. Anthropic fue fundada en 2021 por antiguos miembros de OpenAI, en particular los hermanos Dario y Daniela Amodei, momento en el que ambos dejaron la compañía de Sam Altman. De hecho, una de las razones por la que los dos dejaron la compañía fue la asociación entre OpenAI y Microsoft, ocurrida en 2019.
