An insightful podcast —I truly enjoyed the session. As someone within Microsoft’s Data center organization who had the privilege of witnessing the rise of the cloud business over the past decade, it resonated deeply to me. The hybrid design of Public Sovereign Clouds is indeed a rare and remarkable offering, combining the vast processing power of public cloud computing with robust data sovereignty protections aligned with national regulations. This sophisticated unique model is impressive, and it's exciting to see launching in the UAE—a global innovation hub with a forward-thinking growth mindset. It's also fantastic to hear about the establishment of Engineering centers in the UAE, the AI for Good' labs, and the ambitious upskilling plans to train thousands of people in the AI field 🧑‍💻. Talal's direction of "learn how to learn rather than trying to teach something that is going to be Obsolete" is very relevant in this period of AI upskilling. I'm confident these initiative will inspire similar efforts worldwide in no time. Naim : Your repeated reminder that 'the train has already left the station' is spot-on and serves as a powerful reinforcement.😉
