Dan Roberts: What emerging technologies do you believe will have the most significant impact on businesses in the next five to ten years?
Anil Cheriyan: There’s a number of technologies affecting businesses right now, or that we’re hearing a lot about, and for many of them, I think it’s yet to be clearly viewed. I had dinner with a group of CIOs recently and asked them, ‘What do you think about blockchain, quantum, metaverse, and gen AI?’ With blockchain, they said, ‘Well, it’s interesting.’ Quantum, they started giggling. Metaverse, they were in tears laughing. But gen AI, they all said this is something real. That’s a clearer one.
IoT is going to be big. I think the whole data compute space is going to change a lot with Nvidia and the semiconductor space. Who would have thought that semiconductors would become this big thing. We were reaching the end of the road with Moore’s Law and the nano millimeters that we could get to, so this is really interesting. Semiconductors, gen AI, and the whole IoT space are going to be amazing.
