Google Cloud Next 2023, one of the industry’s major annual conferences, recently took place in San Francisco. The three-day event was attended by thousands of people – including a team from SoftwareOne - and included keynotes from a range of experts. In total, there were 161 announcements about product and service launches and updates.

One of the main themes of the conference was Generative AI and it’s clear that Google is making significant investments is this area. This was underlined by Google Cloud CEO, Thomas Kurian, who said:

We are in an entirely new era of digital transformation, fueled by gen AI. This technology is already improving how businesses operate and how humans interact with one another. It’s changing the way doctors care for patients, the way people communicate, and even the way workers are kept safe on the job. And this is just the beginning.
