Summary
Google Cloud Summit London featured database executives Sailesh Krishnamurthy and Yasmeen Ahmad discussing the future of data platforms. Ahmad predicts that within 3-5 years, humans will no longer directly use data platforms — instead, they will orchestrate AI agents that do the work. Krishnamurthy highlighted that AI is driving a shift toward inexact queries and semantic search in databases, moving beyond traditional exact-match SQL queries. The conversation covered Google's agentic AI strategy, changes in database architecture, and the integration of AI across Google Cloud's data offerings.
