He studied at Icam - Institut Catholique d'Arts et Métiers in Lille, where he developed his engineering expertise. In 1999 he founded OVH, which has grown to become one of Europe's largest cloud computing companies with numerous data centers worldwide. Octave Klaba is a strong advocate for European tech sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of independence from non-European cloud giants. Key insights from the discussion between Octave Klaba and Damien GROMIER: ✔ Cloud providers face challenges due to the rapid obsolescence of #hardware and the need for continuous innovation. So, you need to have a vision for 3 to 4 years ahead, considering when the hardware you invested in will become obsolete and the investments that this will entail. But the most important part is about the #customers. One must ask why a consumer uses AI. The answer is often to reduce costs. As cloud providers, it is therefore important to implement meaningful projects, improve others, and ensure that AI makes companies and people more efficient. ✔ Europe, particularly France, has the potential to excel in developing AI models and technologies. Klaba suggested leveraging Europe's engineering talent to create innovative, customer-centric AI solutions, possibly through #open-source models. ✔ OVHcloud is working on reducing AI inference costs and developing new #AIproducts. He stressed the importance of aligning technological advancements with customer needs and business profitability to ensure long-term success. ✔ One of the key points is to make AI accessible and easy to use, like on a smartphone that helps people #adopt it quickly. This simplicity proves that AI can be accessible to everyone, which is why there's so much excitement and hype around it today. As people find AI easy to use in their personal lives, big companies will also start using it for their businesses. 🗣 “AI is fundamentally changing how we interact with technology. It's about making AI accessible and practical for businesses and individuals alike, driving innovation and efficiency across all sectors,” says Octave Klaba. 👉 Watch all the replays of the Adopt AI Summit: https://lnkd.in/eDxHcR47
