The concept of operating systems has evolved over the years in parallel with the advancements in technology and computing. From the early days of punch cards and bespoke operating systems for mainframe computers to the dominant players of today, the landscape of operating systems has seen significant changes. However, with the rise of generative AI and the need for a new kind of operating system revolution, the focus is shifting towards creating an infrastructure that can handle vast amounts of structured and unstructured data.
As AI becomes more prevalent in our daily lives and enterprise infrastructure, the requirements for an operating system that can support generative AI are becoming more specific. A new AI operating system needs to have advanced dynamic resource management, real-time processing capabilities, enhanced security features, and a focus on ethical use. Additionally, it should support edge computing, have a layer of abstraction for running algorithms on different hardware architectures, and prioritize scalability and distributed computing.
Building an operating system that can meet the demands of AI while still accommodating other applications and software can be a significant challenge. There is an ongoing battle between specialization and flexibility, as organizations need to balance the needs of AI with the requirements of existing applications. Intuit’s creation of its proprietary OS for AI, GenOS, is an example of this trend. However, developing an AI operating system that can achieve the ubiquity of Windows or Linux will require standardization and compatibility across diverse AI hardware and software ecosystems.
Renen Hallak, founder and CEO of VAST Data, will be exploring the concept of an AI operating system that redefines how generative AI is used at VB Transform 2024. He will delve into what this new operating system will look like and why it is crucial to start with a scalable data platform that can handle the massive amounts of data required by modern AI applications. Hallak will also discuss strategic considerations for building scalable, cost-effective, and future-proof AI infrastructure for innovative AI frameworks, data management, and processing.
The evolution of operating systems in the age of AI represents a new era in computing. As organizations grapple with the demands of generative AI and the need for advanced infrastructure, the development of a new kind of operating system revolution is essential. By focusing on scalability, data management, and processing capabilities, organizations can prepare themselves for the future of AI-driven technologies. Attendees of events like VB Transform 2024 will gain valuable insights into architecting AI frameworks and building infrastructure that can support the next wave of AI innovation.
