An Accenture research report (May 2023) discusses how everything from science to business to society will be transformed by Generative AI. ChatGPT’s explosive global popularity has given us AI’s first true inflection point in public adoption. Finally, everyone, everywhere can see the technology’s disruptive potential for themselves.
The large language models (LLMs) and foundation models powering these advances in generative AI are a significant turning point. They’ve not only cracked the code on language complexity, enabling machines to learn context, infer intent, and be independently creative, but they can also be quickly fine-tuned for a wide range of different tasks.
Companies will use these models to reinvent the way work is done. Every role in every enterprise has the potential to be reinvented, as humans working with AI co-pilots becomes the norm, dramatically amplifying what people can achieve. Generative AI will impact tasks, not occupations. Some of those tasks will be automated, some will be transformed through AI assistance, and some will be unaffected.
To get started, Accenture suggests considering the following adoption essentials:
- Dive in, with a business-driven mindset
- Take a people-first approach
- Get your proprietary data ready
- Invest in a sustainable tech foundation
- Accelerate ecosystem innovation
- Level up responsible AI
