What does all this buzz around Artificial Intelligence mean for organizations?
In summary, the AI and GPT buzz signifies a transformative shift in how organizations operate. From automating tasks to improving decision-making processes, these technologies offer plenty of opportunities for growth and innovation.
Some question you should ask when a new potential opportunity comes up.
- Can it save your organization time?
- Can it increase revenue (sales, marketing, etc)?
- Can it reduce time to deliver?
- Can it improve current efficiency?
- Is the investment worth the return (GPUs are not cheap!)?
- And the list goes on and on…
Some common examples include: Chatbot, Content Generation, Search, Associative Reasoning, Training, and much more.
Based on that, I am sure you are wondering… how can your organization get quickly started in this space?
I tried to put a list together below with some of the most popular products that may be able to assist with that task.
