“I think this is a foundational technology change, a new architecture for building an entirely new generation of computing systems…It’s as foundational an architecture shift as the ones from mainframes to PCs,from PCs to web, from web to mobile, or from traditional software to AI. It’s a fundamental shift and building this out is a 25- to 30-year process.”
