Can Google Cloud Platform ride AI into the field's top echelon? And how much is AI shaking up the trillion dollar industry? We'll find out with the CEO of Google Cloud Platform right after this. Welcome to Big Technology Podcast, a show for cool-headed and nuanced conversation of the tech world and beyond. Today we're joined by Thomas Curion.
He's the CEO of Google Cloud Platform, and he's here for a realistic look at how companies are building with AI and how Google is positioning itself to win in the moment. We'll also talk tariffs, of course, for a bit towards the end of the show. Thomas, great to see you. Welcome to the show.
Thank you for having me. Thanks for being here. Let's talk about the surge that Google Cloud Platform has had in the past couple months or years really. And a lot of that has been tied to artificial intelligence. I think it's fair to say that GCP, Google Cloud Platform, was running maybe a distant third behind Microsoft and Amazon when it came to cloud hosting.
