What is it?
We are currently in the grip of AI fever.
With the massive popularity of ChatGPT, generative AI has now captured the public imagination and we can all see its transformative potential for ourselves.
The large language models (LLMs) and foundation models underpinning generative AI represent a turning point for technology and a fresh new direction for app builders and hardware vendors. Trained on huge unstructured data sets covering an immense variety of topics, these models allow a variety of content such as high quality text, imagery, audio and synthetic data to be created at speed via a simple user interface. Machines can now learn intention and context.
It is a complex, rapidly evolving technology.
And businesses want a piece of the action.
How can generative AI create value for your business?
With its potential impact on productivity and creativity, generative AI stands to influence every industry – from science to healthcare, marketing to engineering. Businesses that prepare their people to work alongside generative AI will gain a distinct competitive advantage.
Many large companies are already investigating how this technology can be adapted to their business needs. Salesforce have unveiled their own generative AI tools to create personalised marketing campaigns and shopping experiences. Morgan Stanley is training an OpenAI powered chatbot to assist its financial advisors, allowing them to quickly compare investment cases and examine risk. PWC is working with an AI startup to create a chatbot for its entire legal advisory practice, and is planning to extend that technology to its tax and human resource departments.
As well as powering chatbots for customer service and technical support, Gen AI will soon be used on a wider scale to write computer code, design products, accelerate drug discovery, and transform business processes and supply chains. In the world of finance, it will help to build better fraud detection systems. For lawyers, it will help parse contracts in a fraction of the time it currently takes.
What are the limitations of generative AI?
It is early days for this technology and generative AI still makes mistakes. There are concerns around systemic bias, prejudice and inaccuracy in the content it generates. It does not identify its sources. It raises issues of plagiarism and intellectual property that have yet to be addressed.
However, despite these limitations, we know that generative AI is set to disrupt many industries, transforming the world of work forever.
