These three, Indians all, are ‘Sundar Pichai’ (Google), ‘Satya Nadella’ (Microsoft) & ‘Arvind Krishna’ (IBM), between them control at least 95% of ‘the cloud‘ & with that huge influence when it comes to AI. They also have access to tremendous amounts of resources — including money & influence.
Yes, they all know that they are already been closely watched. Google, for a start, has been accused repeatedly of having anti-Republican bias. So, they can’t be overt or obvious. But, these are, supposedly some of the cleverest men around and they have scads of talented folks at their disposal. They should be able to work out how they could make a difference.
All three know, well enough, that they can’t be seen to be political — unlike ‘Elon Musk‘. I have a feeling that at least one could be a closet Republican. But, push comes to shove I suspect that all three will not be able to resist the pride of having a fellow Indian as President. That is the rub. How having an Indian as President will forever fundamentally change world dynamics.
I fully appreciate that these three have to be super, maybe ULTRA, careful. But, I am hoping that they can find some ways to be rainmakers given that they control the cloud!
