If tech could claim just one theme this year, it would, hands down, be AI. It’s absolutely everywhere, especially, one could argue, in the cloud. And if you’re going to talk about AI in the cloud, it’s tough to imagine a better candidate for that discussion than Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud.
We’re thrilled that Kurian will join us on the AI Stage, September 20, at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023, which runs from September 19–21 in San Francisco. Just last month during Cloud Next, its annual partner and developer conference, Google Cloud announced a flurry of AI-related products — including custom processors, generative AI products for developers and security teams, and an expanded AI assistant across Google Workspace.
But Kurian’s conversation at Disrupt is more than products-on-parade. It’ll cover Kurian’s big bet on AI and his desire to build an open ecosystem of AI partners, as well as preview what’s next for Google Cloud and AI in general. Don’t miss this discussion about the future of AI and the cloud.
Thomas Kurian: Google Cloud CEO
Prior to joining Google in 2019, Thomas Kurian spent 22 years at Oracle, where most recently he was president of product development. Before that, he worked at McKinsey as a business analyst and engagement manager. Kurian’s nearly 30 years in tech have given him deep insights into the industry, which he’ll share during his keynote address at TechCrunch Disrupt 2023.
Kurai’s career has been marked by innovation, from leading Oracle’s cloud strategy to spearheading its AI initiatives. His tenure at Oracle saw the company become a pioneer in cloud computing and artificial intelligence, setting the stage for what would later become Google Cloud.
“AI is transforming every industry,” Kurian said during an interview with TechCrunch last year. “From healthcare to finance, from transportation to education, AI is reshaping the way we live and work. And as a company, we’re committed to being at the forefront of this revolution.”
This year’s TechCrunch Disrupt 2023 will bring together leaders from around the world to discuss the latest trends in technology, innovation, and business. Kurian is one of the keynotes speakers, and his session on AI will be a must-attend event for anyone interested in staying ahead of the curve.
In addition to his keynote address, Kurian will participate in panel discussions and workshops, where he’ll share insights on how companies can leverage AI to drive growth and innovation. His expertise is unmatched, making this event a unique opportunity to learn from one of the industry’s most visionary leaders.
