My Daily Podcast, The Business of Tech. 5 minutes of news and comments, asking “Why Do We Care?” for IT services companies

Each day, the flood of technology news hits. In an industry that always changes, those who deliver technology services need to focus on the information that matters to them. The Business of Tech podcast focuses on the news you need to know. Covering both the story and why it matters to the way services are created and delivered, channel veteran Dave Sobel brings you up to speed and gives you resources to go deeper. With insights and analysis, this five minute podcast focuses on the knowledge you need to be effective, profitable, and relevant.
In this episode, we discuss Amazon’s massive investment in Anthropic, an open AI rival. With a $4 billion investment, Amazon is positioning itself as a key player in the AI field by providing advanced deep learning services to its Amazon Web Services customers. Anthropic recently unveiled its consumer-facing chatbot, Clawd2, and is working on a more powerful chatbot named ClawdNext. We also explore how OpenAI’s chatbot, ChatGPT, now supports prompting with voice and images, allowing users to directly interact with the AI bot. We also explore the contrasting perspectives of SMBs, who are bullish on AI, and the waning public trust in the technology. Additionally, we delve into the topic of AI joining your team, drawing insights from Boston Consulting and the CIA. Tune in to learn more about these AI developments and their implications in the tech industry.
