In this segment, Ari Weil, VP of Product Marketing at Akamai, discusses the company’s strategic approach to AI, noting its similarities to the cloud in terms of media hype and business potential. While some businesses may experiment with building their own large language models (LLMs), most will likely consume these from vendors, focusing on differentiation through AI-powered inferencing for personalized experiences in areas like gaming and commerce.

Weil highlights Akamai’s use of AI in its security platform to combat sophisticated AI-driven threats and the development of a compute platform to support rapid, localized AI processing for enhanced user engagement.
