Though Google Cloud Next in Las Vegas was a couple weeks ago, I'm still working through it and trying to process everything I learned there. Three days, 32,000 attendees, 260 product announcements. One cool stand out...
Google shipped an entire agent accountability infrastructure at this conference. Every AI agent now gets a cryptographic ID and an auditable action trail tied to a defined authorization policy. They built anomaly detection that flags unusual agent reasoning in real time and maps it back to the source.
You build that when you're expecting things to go wrong at scale.
GE Appliances is deploying 800 AI agents across manufacturing and supply chain right now. That's operational continuity with autonomous software making decisions without a human in the loop.
Every enterprise leader needs to answer one question the technology doesn't answer for you: when an agent makes a decision that costs money or creates legal exposure, who owns it?
I'm looking forward to diving deeper into Gemini Enterprise and Chrome Enterprise. The Chrome Enterprise shadow AI reporting shows you every unsanctioned AI tool your employees are already using. You can't govern what you can't see.

So, #Google has a WAN service and Quantum Computing. That's interesting on it's own. Do they have to attach AI to them? Do they think that the only thing that will sell any type of IT is AI? I mean, Quantum Computing is conceptually cool and has some interesting applications. Is it necessary to only talk to the AI application, which is debatable? #GoogleNext 2025
Annnnddddd... we start with "AI AI AI AI blah blah AI". IT industry - Where Hope Goes To Die. #GoogleNext 2025
