Few technologies have made an entrance the same way that generative AI has exploded onto the world stage—and into the global economy. In its first year out of the gate, generative AI has broken growth/adoption records and continues to astound with the size and scope of its current and increasing impact across the spectrum of work, life, and industry. One assessment by McKinsey, considering just 16 use cases across industries, estimated $4.4 trillion in economic impact annually.
What is generative AI?
Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) technology trained on foundational models, typically large language models (LLMs), with the ability to understand natural language inputs—and critically, the intent of the input—and respond with useful content where there is no single correct answer. Generative AI has the ability to analyze large and unstructured data sets and create original content output in a range of modalities, primarily text, but increasingly in other formats such as images, computer code, and sound.
To analogize, think of it as a fast-learning, creative, and smart (but not always trustworthy) project partner—for any work project. That’s how it is widely used as a stand-alone tool today—to create reports, email campaigns, translations, etc. By generating original, on-point content, generative AI provides a major boost to productivity.
How do these capabilities benefit business?
The projected value of generative AI across industries and functions is massive, but some industries stand to benefit more, and sooner, than others. That makes understanding the applications of generative AI and specific use cases for your industry even more critical. But it can be challenging to grasp what generative AI’s capabilities mean on the ground. Beyond a content-creation assistant (with significant security, privacy, and accuracy red flags), business leaders from across industries and functions are asking—what are applicable use cases for generative AI right now?
