It takes big money as well as big ideas to compete in the generative AI space. Not hundreds of millions of dollars, but billions of dollars. And because of this, and because the stakes are so high as GenAI goes from hype cycle to commercialization, we see alliances and partnerships forming that will shape how we access GenAI functions and who we access them from.
