Artificial intelligence lives and breathes thanks to tech innovators of the 1980s and 90s who saw Silicon Valley as the landscape to develop the more than trillion-dollar computer industry.
Though AI only recently entered the public vocabulary — with the search term peaking in popularity just last month since Google began tracking the data in 2004 — experts told San José Spotlight the technology has been in our reach for decades. And, with NASDAQ-listed tech firm Couchbase uprooting its Santa Clara headquarters in favor of San Jose, the city has an opportunity to helm the next generation of innovators in Silicon Valley.
Couchbase Chief People Officer Fidelma Butler said the new office represents an ideal blend of innovation plus opportunity for the company’s next phase of growth, and being in San Jose also keeps Couchbase at the epicenter of AI innovation.
“Our commitment to San Jose isn’t just about a new office — it’s about continuing to foster an ecosystem where we can collaborate, engage with top talent, meet with industry partners and enable our world-class team to play to win in our industry,” Butler told San José Spotlight. “We’re excited to contribute to and draw inspiration from the vibrant community here as we continue to develop AI-powered database solutions that will shape the future of technology globally.”
