The game of artificial intelligence is evolving thanks to generative AI and other foundation models, which also speed up application development and give non-technical people access to significant capabilities.
To understand the power of generative AI, simply enter one prompt into OpenAI's ChatGPT. More than a million users logged onto the platform in the first five days of its launch to test it out. OpenAI's servers frequently flash a notice advising users to come back later when server capacity becomes available since they cannot keep up with demand.
Technology is advancing into previously thought to be human-only domains thanks to products like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot, as well as the underlying AI models that drive such systems, such as Stable Diffusion, DALLE 2, GPT-3, and others. Computers can now plausibly display creativity thanks to generative AI. They can respond to queries with original material using the information they have digested and their interactions with users. They can write computer code, write blogs, create rough sketches of package designs, or even theorize about the cause of a production issue.
This most recent generation of generative AI systems has roots in foundation models, deep learning models trained on enormous, diverse, unstructured datasets that span various topics. With little fine-tuning needed for each activity, developers may adjust the models for a wide range of application scenarios. For instance, scientists utilized an earlier version of GPT to develop novel protein sequences, and GPT-3.5, the model that forms the basis of ChatGPT, has also been used to translate text. In this approach, everyone can benefit from the strength of these capabilities, even engineers without specialist machine learning skills and non-technical users. Additionally, foundation models can drastically reduce the time needed to create new AI applications.
2023 is expected to be one of the most interesting years for AI yet because of generative AI. But as with any new technology, business leaders must proceed cautiously because current technology poses numerous moral and practical difficulties.
Human-like creative abilities
During the Industrial Revolution, which began more than a century ago, machines and factory technology altered production by enhancing and automating human work. AI has further increased manufacturing floor efficiencies. Over roughly the same time, transactions have undergone numerous technical revisions, most recently digitization and frequent automation.
Interaction labor, like customer service, has, up until recently, seen the least developed technological interventions. By performing interaction work in a manner that closely and, in some cases, unconsciously mimics human behavior, generative AI is poised to change that. This does not imply that these tools are designed to operate autonomously. They often function best in conjunction with people, enhancing their strengths and facilitating more effective and quicker work.
Additionally, generative AI drives technology into creativity, a field hitherto regarded solely as the human intellect's domain. The technology uses its inputs—the data it has taken in and a user prompt—and experiences—interactions with users that help it "learn" new information and determine right and wrong—to produce novel content. While arguments at the dinner table about whether this constitutes creativity will continue for some time, most people would probably concur that these technologies have the potential to stimulate more creativity by providing people with initial ideas.
Generative AI in action
Although these models are still in the early stages of scaling, we have already begun to notice the initial wave of functional applications, such as the following:
Marketing and sales: Generative AI creates social media, technical sales, and personalized marketing content (including text, images, and video), developing assistants tailored to specific industries.
Operations: Generative AI creates task lists to ensure the effective completion of business activities.
IT/engineering: Generative AI writes, documents, and reviews code.
Legal: Generative AI answers complex questions, pulls from vast amounts of legal documentation, drafts, and reviews annual reports.
R&D: Generative AI accelerates drug discovery through a better understanding of diseases and the discovery of chemical structures.
Caution is required
Although generative AI's astounding accomplishments can give the impression that it is a ready-to-use technology, this is not the case. Executives must exercise extreme caution because of its immaturity. Many practical and ethical questions remain unresolved, and technology is still working out its quirks.
Generative AI is not perfect, just like people. For instance, ChatGPT occasionally "hallucinates," confidently producing completely false information in response to a user inquiry and lacking any internal mechanism to alert the user or challenge the result. For instance, when the tool was asked to develop a brief biography, we saw cases where it produced multiple inaccurate facts about the person, such as naming the erroneous school institution.
Filters cannot yet catch inappropriate content since they are ineffective. Even though they had provided suitable images of themselves, users of an image-generating program that may generate avatars from a person's photo received avatar options from the system that depicted them nude.
Systemic biases still require attention. These systems use vast volumes of data, which may have unintended biases. The norms and values specific to each firm are not represented. Companies need to modify technology to reflect their culture and beliefs, involving more technical know-how and computer capacity than some businesses may have.
Questions about intellectual property are up for discussion. Who can claim ownership of a new product design or idea that a generative AI model develops in response to a user prompt? What happens if it copies anything from a source using the training data?
Utilizing generative AI
Since businesses are considering generative AI, leaders will want to immediately identify the areas of their operations where the technology could have the biggest immediate impact and put in place a system to monitor it, given that it is anticipated to evolve swiftly. Putting together a cross-functional team, including data science practitioners, legal experts, and functional business leaders, is a move that won't lead to regrets.
According to leaders, where may technology help or disrupt their business's value chain? Policies and posture checks are also essential. Companies should be investing in test projects, looking to start new businesses, or watching carefully to see how the technology develops. It is necessary to establish criteria for picking the use cases to target, given the models' constraints. Businesses must also decide how to create a productive ecosystem of platforms, communities, and partners. Lastly, these models must abide by legal and social norms for organizations to keep stakeholders' trust.
It's crucial to promote deliberate innovation throughout the company by putting in place sandboxed environments for testing, many of which are easily accessible via the cloud.
It is fascinating to think about the breakthroughs that generative AI could spark for organizations of all sizes and technological sophistication. Although the technology is still in its infancy, CEOs will want to remain acutely aware of the existing hazards.
