Since last year, Google has had 40x growth in Gemini use on its Vertex AI platform, highlighting the pace of demand in AI, says Will Grannis, chief technology officer of Google Cloud. In this episode of Tech Disruptors, Grannis sits down with Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Mandeep Singh to talk about the variety of use cases with large-language-model deployments. They discuss the company's Ironwood TPU launch to give an end-to-end stack perspective around inferencing workloads, and what it means for cloud demand.

At Google Cloud Next 2025, Google Cloud VP and CTO Will Grannis joins Bob Evans to explore how AI is reshaping enterprise technology. Grannis shares how Google Cloud's OCTO team works with customers on complex challenges, using DeepMind research, next-gen TPUs, and AI-native infrastructure, while noting the fading line between B2B and B2C and the cultural changes needed to adapt.Inside Google Cloud's AI Strategy Google Cloud Is AI-Native at Its Core: Grannis says that Google Cloud's approach to AI is foundational. The organization's mindset, shaped by Google's long-standing leadership in AI, infuses every layer of its stack, from infrastructure to user interfaces. With a legacy of deploying machine learning at scale for over a decade, Google Cloud doesn't just offer AI tools—it helps customers reimagine their businesses through AI-native thinking, using products like DeepMind and innovations born across Google's consumer ecosystem.The OCTO Team Solves the Hardest Problems with Customers: Grannis leads the Office of the CTO (OCTO), a team he jokingly calls “the nerdy Navy SEALs.” They tackle highly complex, unsolved customer challenges that can't be addressed by existing products. Rather than building solutions in isolation, they co-create alongside customers. They start with business outcomes and design backward.Multi-Modality and Multi-Agent Systems Are the Future: Looking ahead, Grannis predicts that multi-modal AI, i.e. models that process images, text, speech, and even scent, will become the standard. He also foresees a shift from single-function agents to “agentic workflows” powered by multiple orchestrated AI agents. Google is prototyping orchestration with projects like Astra, that signal a future where AI is not only intelligent but contextually aware and collaborative.The Big Quote: “People . . . spend a lot of time just trying to take a PDF and analyze it. It seems very true. It is a pain . . I think that's one reason why a NotebookLM or a product like that has been so popular because it really attacks like the heart of what people hate doing at work. [AI] puts them in the driver's seat. They can ask questions, they can do analysis.”Learn more:Check out OCTO, NotebookLM, and Google Cloud.

Eric Grannis is the co-author of the book "A+ Parenting: The Surprisingly Fun Guide to Raising Surprisingly Smart Kids." Eric's ethos revolves around challenging the traditional definition of intelligence based on academic performance. In this episode, Eric Grannis joins Larry Hagner and explores the topic of raising smart kids. He begins by discussing the concept of intelligence and how it has evolved over time. He shares his personal experience of struggling in school but eventually excelling through understanding his own learning style. Eric Grannis also emphasizes the importance of recognizing that intelligence is not solely defined by grades or traditional measures, but rather by understanding how each child learns best. Eric Grannis acknowledges that the term "smart" is used in the podcast title to attract attention, but the book they discuss is about helping kids find their interests and passions in life. They emphasize the importance of going beyond school and college, where knowledge is dictated, and instead finding what truly interests and engages them. The conversation also touches on the harmful tendency of parents to compare their children to others, particularly in terms of educational achievements. Eric Grannis suggests that this comparison can be detrimental and that parents should focus on fostering their child's passions and creativity instead. Investing in our kids is of utmost importance. As parents, we have a responsibility to guide and nurture our children, helping them grow into successful and fulfilled individuals. However, it is essential to recognize that success and intelligence are not solely determined by grades and academic achievements.  www.thedadedge.com/friday135 www.amazon.com/Parenting-Surprisingly-Guide-Raising-Smart  

“We know that AI is going to be a key differentiator in products and services, you are seeing this already in everyday life whether it is autocomplete of a search or it is within Gmail where over time it learns the words that you use and auto completes your sentences. So AI is already all around us in our everyday lives. Our principle is we want to make sure that all of our customers and users have the best technology that we can possibly provide but also there is a level of trust and assurance and they feel very safe using products and services where AI is playing a larger part” Join Spandana Bhattacharya and Javier Torres on Wharton Tech Toks as they talk to Will Grannis, VP and CTO of Google Cloud. Prior to this, he was the founding CEO of Google Public Sector Cloud, and the founder and managing director of the Office of the CTO at Google.

Dr. Carol Grannis is the Chief Self-Esteem Officer for Self Esteem Brands, the parent company of the Anytime Fitness franchise system which is the fastest-growing franchise in the country. She has 28 years of experience in HR, Employee Engagement, and Training and Development. She is also a speaker, lecturer and facilitator for groups all over the world. She chats with host Marcel Schwantes about vulnerability in this week's show. Vulnerability is self-disclosure. It is being courageous about disclosing a mistake, something personal about yourself that's hard, or an emotion. There is a palpable, resonant feeling among people in the room when leaders are vulnerable. [5:10]Trust is built when a leader shares a mistake or something personal. Another outcome is that people see you as human. [6:33]You can be too vulnerable. Carol says that when you share your mistakes without also sharing a solution and what you learned from your mistakes, your team may doubt your capability as a leader. The pivot point is to share your mistake and then say, “here's what I've learned about it and this is what I'm going to do differently.” [8:48]Self-disclosure can be planned or unplanned. Most leaders plan to share a story about their vulnerability as a trust-building strategy. They find that when they share, people are in the moment, and there is a sense of relief and connection. [10:40]Our culture teaches us to be tough and competitive. This is why it's so hard for people to be vulnerable, Carol says. We also fear how we would be perceived as a leader if we display vulnerability.  [15:09]It is a myth that self-disclosure comes easier for women than for men. Carol finds that when asked intentional questions, men show up just as much as women do. [17:22] Marcel asks why people still lead with the iron fist instead of love and care? Carol responds that it is because leaders are rewarded for financial or sales outcomes. Iron fist leadership may get you short-term results but will eventually burn you out. [19:20]Carol shares her stories of when she felt love and fear at work. [24:52] It is important for leaders to show love by acknowledging, caring about and understanding their employees. It is just as important for leaders to show love to themselves. [30:28]Carol challenges listeners to do the Personal Histories Exercise at their next team meeting. Leaders should go first and practice vulnerability. She promises that the tenor, resonance, and relationship of your team will change.
