Frequently Asked Questions

Generative AI—a paradigm shift in the world of AI goes beyond analysing data to create entirely new, realistic datasets, paving the way for a new era of exploration and efficiency. Generative AI has the potential to significantly accelerate AI adoption, even for organisations lacking deep AI or data-science expertise. In many instances, this can be accomplished through APIs or by prompt engineering. The market for Gen AI is poised for explosive growth, reaching an estimated $200 billion by 2032, representing a significant chunk (20%) of the total AI spends. In fact a study by Gartner predicts that by 2025, over 10% of all data will be AI-generated, ushering in a new "Age of WithTM" where humans and AI collaborate seamlessly.

From being a boardroom discussion to actual deployment, we are slowly and steadily beginning to witness how Generative AI is accelerating experimental, consumer, and, soon, enterprise use cases. Here is how businesses are leveraging Gen AI

  • Boosts Efficiency: Repetitive tasks like content creation, data analysis, and report generation become automated, allowing human capital for strategic thinking and innovation.
  • Enhanced Customer Experiences: Generative AI excels at custom content creation for specific audiences, through targeted marketing campaigns and chatbots, delivering personalised experiences at scale.
  • Fast track Product Development: Design new products, identify potential issues in existing ones, and accelerate R&D through generative design.
