The rise of AI in business
It is undeniable that we are currently in technology’s golden age. The introduction of the internet, mobile devices, and social media has made the world better connected and more streamlined. However, when you look at the numbers of widespread adoption for mobile phones, the Internet, and Facebook, it took years, 7 years, and 4.5 years respectively to gain 1 million users. For Chat GPT, it was only 3 months. Examining the way these innovations have transformed the world, it is exciting to imagine what AI could deliver over the next decade. Particularly as it allows business leaders to solve problems they have been pondering since well before the shift in workplace culture brought on by the pandemic. According to Microsoft’s Work Trend Index, of 31,000 people in 31 countries, 64% of employees claim to lack the energy and time to do their jobs. This can impact productivity and workplace satisfaction, thereby hindering an organisation’s ability to deliver high-quality outputs. Yet a solution emerges, with 70% of employees willing to use AI in their day to day. This can result in lighter workloads and give AI-adopting businesses an extra competitive edge.
