Google Cloud introduces new AI-powered features in Cloud Storage, including auto annotate and object contexts, to help organizations analyze and derive insights from their unstructured data. These tools automate the generation of metadata and allow users to attach custom tags, facilitating data discovery, curation for AI, and governance at scale. This shift transforms unstructured data from a passive resource into an active asset driving innovation.

Many people misunderstand AI, focusing on its flashy outputs like art and writing rather than its potential to enhance decision-making through effective information management. Businesses can leverage AI to optimize information flows, enabling better decisions and tackling unstructured data, thereby creating real value beyond superficial applications.
