Cloud storage used to be a sleepy part of the computing world but, with <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">artificial intelligence</a> becoming cheaper than ever, the companies collecting and protecting that data are now a hot investment. That includes cloud storage company <a href="https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/BOX?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">Box</a>, which has seen its stock climb nearly 40% this year. Its customers include most of the Fortune 500, including <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">movie studios</a>, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">automakers</a>, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/personal-tech?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">consumer electronics giants</a>, marketing firms and the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security">Pentagon</a>. Box CEO Aaron Levie says AI is getting better at piecing through 90% of companies’ data that previously was an intractable mess, and is doing some tasks better than humans – from processing invoices and parsing contracts to building marketing campaigns. So why does he think that could actually lead to more jobs for humans? Plus, why his company plans to stay “model agnostic” and continue to work with all the major artificial intelligence models, including <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open-ai-division-for-profit-da26c24b?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">OpenAI</a> ’s ChatGPT and <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/anthropic-makes-play-for-business-customers-8568814e?mod=WSJ_BNPOD">Anthropic</a>’s Claude. He speaks to WSJ’s <a href="https://www.wsj.com/news/author/christopher-mims">Christopher Mims</a> and <a href="https://www.wsj.com/news/author/tim-higgins">Tim Higgins</a> in episode four of our interview series Bold Names.
