Beyond AI: New report highlights generative AI’s transformative capabilities
Global market for generative AI expected to reach USD1.5 trillion in revenue by 2033, up from USD50 billion in 2023.
GHD Digital, a leading global digital transformation business, today released a new report titled Beyond AI: Generative AI and the next wave of disruption. The report explores the immense potential of generative AI across multiple sectors, emphasising the need for organisations to act swiftly and decisively to harness its exponential growth.
"Artificial intelligence is already revolutionising the way we live, work, and interact. I believe the recent advancements in generative AI are a turning point for humankind. Still in its infancy, the progress being made every week is exponential. True visionary leaders understand that focusing on AI goes beyond acknowledging its current state of maturity; it is about recognising its immense potential to shape the future. The question remaining is ‘how can we maximise this potential while managing the various issues and risks in an ambiguous and complex ecosystem?”
The report highlights generative AI’s transformative capabilities and provides guidance on how organisations could embrace this rapidly evolving technology. The potential for innovation and progress across sectors is immense, ranging from healthcare and finance to energy and transportation.
Beyond AI sounds a note of caution, underscoring the significant risks accompanying the rapid advancement of generative AI. Hallucinations, ethical dilemmas, and bias are among the pressing challenges that must be addressed. Furthermore, regulatory frameworks have yet to catch up with the pace of technological development.
The report calls on governments, industry leaders, and policymakers to collaborate in developing comprehensive regulatory frameworks that strike the delicate balance between innovation and safeguarding the public interest. It advocates for an inclusive and participatory approach that considers diverse perspectives and anticipates potential societal impacts.
"The rise of generative AI signals a pivotal moment in human history. It’s an opportunity to reimagine how we solve societal and organisational challenges, deliver value and drive growth. The exponential nature of AI evolution today will impact our entire society in the next five years. The future is generative and it’s ours to create."
