The New Cloud Rush: How AI Is Reshaping Everything
Jeffrey Gregor is General Manager of OVHcloud US . getty AI is driving a seismic shift in how we think about cloud infrastructure. As businesses rush to integrate AI, cloud service providers are having to evolve to meet soaring demand, and we're only just starting to grasp the full scope of this transformation. In my work with enterprise clients, tech teams and cloud architects, I've seen firsthand how AI is reshaping expectations and capabilities. Let's look at how AI is redefining the cloud, what businesses should watch for and how they can extract real value while keeping costs and risks under control. One of the most common use cases at the moment is AI-powered virtual assistants and internal chatbots. These tools help support teams respond more efficiently by enabling employees to retrieve company-specific data through simple questions—no need to dig through files or wikis. In legal departments, AI is transforming how research is conducted. Instead of sifting through documents or search engines, firms can connect proprietary databases to LLMs that give relevant answers instantly. It's like having a tireless assistant with domain knowledge built in, available 24/7. Firms are also increasingly leveraging AI to assess and refine trial strategies, aiming to enhance their chances of success in the courtroom. The technology can help predict judicial decisions, simulate jury behavior, enhance legal research and help with document review. AI workloads are incredibly resource-intensive, requiring powerful GPUs, high-speed networking and secure environments for sensitive data. Building and maintaining this in-house is out of reach for many businesses. Fortunately, cloud providers are on hand to offer instant access to the latest cutting-edge chips, tools and frameworks. Cloud platforms also democratize AI. Whether you're using pretrained models, APIs for image recognition or full-blown GenAI, cloud providers offer an easy usage-based on-ramp for organizations at any stage of AI adoption, at a fraction of the cost required to build this infrastructure. Many companies are still exploring what AI can do for them, and the cloud makes that process fast while minimizing risk. Crucially, the cloud supports rapid testing and iteration. You don't necessarily need the most powerful GPUs or deepest pockets to get started; models like the NVIDIA L40S can be a cost-effective, lower-power option for high-performance inference and training without the cost or power draw of the H200. The key is to test, refine and scale what works without committing to massive infrastructure investments up front. Trust, Transparency And Cost Control Public cloud models come with their own risks, especially when it comes to cost and trust. Even as excitement around AI grows, companies are discovering that evaluating costs and ROI can be challenging. I've heard many clients share their frustrations about unpredictable cloud billing, with unexpected and quickly mounting fees for storage, bandwidth or API calls. To use AI responsibly in the cloud, transparent pricing models are key so businesses are clear about costs up front. That means understanding factors like egress and ingress charges, query volumes, storage tiers and model usage limits. Security and trust are just as important. GenAI often involves sensitive or proprietary data. If you're using a shared model or public API, you must ensure your data isn't being logged, used for training or exposed to risks like prompt injection. Poorly configured AI services have already led to accidental data leaks. That's why I often recommend hosting your own model in a controlled cloud environment, especially when regulations like HIPAA or GDPR are involved. Many top cloud providers offer dedicated hardened environments, encryption and certifications. Another often-overlooked factor is networking. Moving data between your systems and the cloud can be slow and expensive unless your provider offers enterprise-grade connectivity. Not all clouds are created equal. Some run on their own global fiber, while others don't. Ask questions before you commit. Looking Ahead: The AI-Cloud Era We're at the dawn of a new era in enterprise technology. Cloud platforms are becoming the foundations of secure, intelligent and scalable systems. AI—especially GenAI and now agentic AI—is driving this evolution, and things are only going to accelerate. A handful of major players, along with a thriving open-source community, are laying the foundation for powerful, customizable AI tools. Success in this new landscape comes down to three things: know what you need, ensure you're getting value and keep control over your data.
