Kurian also addressed cost and data management in AI adoption, noting that per-token prices have fallen 98% since 2024 while enterprise AI spending continues to rise due to increased volume. He described a "smart storage" approach that uses Gemini to enrich unstructured data, such as images and PDFs, in place.
