Databricks Data and AI Summit 2024: The biggest innovations

In his keynote, Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi shared several innovations at the intersection of data and AI as part of the company’s broader effort to help teams make the most of their governed datasets on its Data Intelligence platform.

The move means other firms can take the underlying architecture and code to set up their catalogs supporting data in any format, including Iceberg and Delta/Hudi via UniForm, and interoperability with all major cloud platforms and compute engines. Databricks also announced the private preview launch of Shutterstock ImageAI, a text-to-image generative AI model that provides enterprises with high-fidelity, trusted images for different business use cases. The partnership with Nvidia focuses on adding native support for CUDA-accelerated computing in Databricks’ next-generation vectorized query engine, Photon, to deliver improved speed and efficiency when handling data warehousing and analytics workloads.
