Generative AI and the Future of Work

But for this transformation to occur, the surge will need to have the right characteristics. It must be driven primarily by value-added growth, in which firms and sectors expand value-added output, thereby contributing to a rise in GDP, rather than simply by reducing inputs, such as labor, while keeping the growth in output weak or flat. Generative AI confronts us with moral and legal dilemmas (such as who owns the generated content and copyright issues) for which we must find answers and solutions quickly if we want to make transparent, legitimate and fair use of this technology.

According to this thesis, the top five markets that stand to benefit from productivity gains may not be the US or mainland China, but Hong Kong, Israel, Switzerland, Kuwait, and Japan. Emerging markets like India, Kenya, and Vietnam may see more modest productivity gains on a relative basis, as might be the case with mainland China. While the Chinese government has since issued somewhat less restrictive regulations, pushes for political control over technological developments highlight self-imposed challenges to AI development.

This estimate would roughly double if we include the impact of embedding generative AI into software that is currently used for other tasks beyond those use cases. The analyses in this paper incorporate the potential impact of generative AI on today’s work activities. They could also have an impact on knowledge workers whose activities were not expected to shift as a result of these technologies until later in the future (see sidebar “About the research”). In the banking industry, generative AI has the potential to improve on efficiencies already delivered by artificial intelligence by taking on lower-value tasks in risk management, such as required reporting, monitoring regulatory developments, and collecting data.

• With a focus on rapid AI innovation, the UAE established AI training programs with Oxford University and founded the Mohammed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence.
• Deep learning has powered many of the recent advances in AI, but the foundation models powering generative AI applications are a step-change evolution within deep learning.
• Such availability could be specifically focused on increasing both demographic and geographic access to AI research resources.
• At the same time, they also have the potential to be more destabilizing than previous generations of artificial intelligence.
• The report begins by reviewing the intensely concentrated nature of the overall AI industry (as opposed to the recent boom in generative AI) and suggesting the need to widen the sector to ensure broader participation.

The foundation stones, such as German enterprise technology firm SAP’s rollout of AI into its products in November this year, have already been laid this year. While generative AI essentially hogged all the attention in 2023, the next year is set to be significantly diverse. Industry experts have said that quantum communications is key to national security going forward, and pilot programmes that were begun in 2023 will start seeing real-world trials and implementations next year. Increasing the accessibility of quantum power on the cloud will also enable developers to find real-world use cases for quantum computing, thus laying the groundwork for this nascent, complicated piece of technology. In 2024 Generative AI, powered by rapidly advancing language models and grounded by Knowledge Graphs will hallucinate less and produce content that is increasingly contextually relevant and insightful. This will pave the way for groundbreaking developments in natural language understanding, tailored content creation, and complex problem-solving across various domains such as healthcare, drug discovery, and engineering.

He has advised clients on utilizing technology to meet strategic objectives and discover the art of the possible through innovation. The adoption of generative AI might lead to some job roles becoming redundant, particularly those involving repetitive or data-heavy tasks. While this could lead to increased efficiency, it also brings up questions around job displacement and the need for re-skilling.

As a significant leap forward in AI technology, generative AI (GenAI) is powered by data. Since the FinTech industry draws upon enormous amounts of data, it’s an opportunity to leverage the advantage of generative AI. With the inclusion of Generative AI in FinTech, you can offer a personalized experience tailored to the end user’s unique needs. All of this is backed by a seamless flow of complex tasks, streamlined processes, and informed decisions where risks are not merely mitigated but proactively managed. This report therefore makes the case that a combination of local, state, and federal initiatives will be necessary to spread AI innovation and productivity gains more broadly across the U.S.

The economic potential of generative AI

Businesses already can integrate gen AI tools, safely and responsibly, into their workflows. But as gen AI further permeates enterprise technology stacks, it will expand beyond simply automating single tasks. Multiple gen AI agents will collaborate with each other to orchestrate all the processes, systems and pools of knowledge needed to execute a complex series of interconnected tasks, from modifying a product design, to figuring out your PTO based on your upcoming workload. And rather than maneuvering through disparate systems, apps and data, workers will use a single interactive and conversational interface that makes all the necessary connections. Countries will also need to confront the uneven adoption of advanced digital technologies both among firms within the same sector and among sectors.

The Georgia AI Manufacturing (GA-AIM) coalition, led by the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, represents a strong example of a regional cluster development strategy in the AI sector. Called forth by the EDA’s BBBRC competition, the $65 million initiative will establish the AI Manufacturing Pilot Facility at Georgia Tech as a hub for research, testing, and training in AI systems across the region. A key component of all this is preparing Georgia’s workforce for the rise of AI-enabled automation in established state industries such as semiconductors, battery manufacturing, food production, and defense. Along those lines, GA-AIM will add a new hub to the nation’s AI map, even as it advances a national model for how to accelerate the transition to automation in manufacturing while diversifying the next generation of AI leadership.
