Artificial intelligence has recently witnessed a groundbreaking development known as Generative AI (GenAI). It uses sophisticated algorithms and deep learning models to solve complex problems and has tremendous potential to revolutionize industries. GenAI’s creative and problem-solving capabilities have created unique possibilities for its applications in several industries. A recent report by Bloomberg suggests that by 2028, the investment in GenAI is expected to grow by 39.4% CAGR, which amounts to USD 422.37 billion.

Service providers leverage these capabilities in the technology industry to create AI-powered products and services to offer value and innovation. As projected by CIO.com, realizing the potential of GenAI, up to 60% of IT leaders are looking forward to implementing it. Using AI and automation in a cloud transformation journey has several benefits.

1. GenAI models understand complex language and code and lend applications the ability to reason and comprehend even better.
2. These models can generate code, translate the natural language to code, summarize content, and conduct related searches.
3. Using these models reduces modernization costs significantly and helps optimize the code as per the target platform.
4. Conducting comprehensive tests, validations, and documentation, the crucial steps in the process of new platform adoption, can be automated.

Generative AI’s creative and problem-solving capabilities have created unique possibilities for its applications in platform modernization. Databricks Lakehouse is a unified, open, and scalable platform built to store and process copious amounts of data. The platform makes the data available for AI and analytics at a single location. However, Databricks modernization requires a high degree of planning, technical expertise, and reverse engineering, requiring costs, effort, and time. Alcazar, powered by Gen-AI, is designed to automate processes and simplify activities to control these factors, minimize risks, and continuously monitor the Databricks Lakehouse platform.

The possibilities are endless when you migrate to Databricks with a GenAI-powered tool. It is a great move to ensure scalability, better collaboration, robust data partnership, and a highly efficient process. With a world-class accelerator powered by GenAI, you can quickly achieve higher value from your data.
