The rapid advancements in generative AI, or gen AI, have captured the attention and excitement of industries across the board. From healthcare to finance, transportation to manufacturing, gen AI is revolutionizing the way we work and think. While we have seen similar adoption curves with past technologies like the internet and smartphones, gen AI presents unique challenges and opportunities.
We are currently in what can be considered “Act 1” of the gen AI story. Early experiments have showcased the immense potential of gen AI, but also highlighted issues such as inaccuracies, biases, ethical concerns, scalability challenges, and high costs. As we transition into “Act 2,” the focus shifts towards operationalizing gen AI and addressing these critical areas.
Building a sustainable and scalable gen AI business requires careful consideration of key factors. Accuracy, bias, ethics, scalability, and cost all play significant roles in the successful deployment of gen AI applications. Companies must differentiate with data, choose the right mixture of AI models, integrate AI responsibly, focus on cost, performance, and scale, and promote usability and accessibility.
Moving from Act 1 to Act 2 of gen AI will not be a straightforward journey. It will require extensive effort and collaboration to overcome the challenges and unlock the full potential of this transformative technology. By addressing these key areas and focusing on responsible and practical deployment of gen AI, we can ensure that it becomes a ubiquitous and beneficial tool in various industries.
