Modernizing bps application landscape with AI

Navigating The Generative AI Intellectual Property Landscape

The ability to influence or monitor brand mentions in these AI-driven dialogues is still in its nascent stages. Consequently, there’s a growing trend towards adapting marketing strategies for a generative AI world. This adaptation involves a strategic reliance on traditional media in the short term, leveraging its reach and impact to build and sustain brand presence. GNoME model developed by Google Deepmind has been used already to make breakthroughs in material sciences, discovering new crystal structures driving better batteries to more efficient computers.

While leaders cited reasoning capability, reliability, and ease of access (e.g., on their CSP) as the top reasons for adopting a given model, leaders also gravitated toward models with other differentiated features. Multiple leaders cited the prior 200K context window as a key reason for adopting Anthropic, for instance, while others adopted Cohere because of their early-to-market, easy-to-use fine-tuning offering. These challenges persist because companies still rely on traditional SDLC management methods, which can result in slow, error-prone processes. Digital Transformation is critical to modern enterprises, yet creating it remains inefficient. Nearly half of C-suite respondents report that over 30% of tech projects are late or over budget, with one in five dissatisfied with most outcomes.

While some leaders addressed this concern by hosting open source models themselves, others noted that they were prioritizing models with virtual private cloud (VPC) integrations. This is one of the most surprising changes in the landscape over the past 6 months. We estimate the market share in 2023 was 80%–90% closed source, with the majority of share going to OpenAI. However, 46% of survey respondents mentioned that they prefer or strongly prefer open source models going into 2024.

Adversarial machine learning and data poisoning, where inputs and training data are intentionally designed to mislead or corrupt models, can damage AI systems themselves. To account for these risks, businesses will need to treat AI security as a core part of their overall cybersecurity strategies. The generative AI landscape is evolving rapidly, with foundation models seemingly now a dime a dozen. As 2025 begins, the competitive edge is moving away from which company has the best model to which businesses excel at fine-tuning pretrained models or developing specialized tools to layer on top of them. “The most surprising thing for me [in 2024] is actually the lack of adoption that we’re seeing,” said Jen Stave, launch director for the Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard University. The investable universe of companies in which AIQ and BOTZ may invest may be limited.

Two key branches of AI,generative AI and predictive AI, are driving innovation across industries. While generative AI focuses on creating new content predictive AI is engineered to forecast future events, both shaping the future of AI applications. We don’t believe the future of AI will be dystopian, because AI will never replace the human touch. This includes landscape monitoring and insight generation across everything from publications and social media to personalisation of digital content and content reviews prior to medical and legal submission.

GANs excel at understanding complex data patterns and creating high-quality results. They’re used in applications including image synthesis, style transfer, data augmentation and image-to-image translation. This area has a lot of energy and excitement regarding generative AI, but at this point, there’s been considerable churn and stagnation for generative AI product releases. This could be for multiple reasons, but it’s safe to assume that the highly regulated PHI and PII data, as well as industry-specific patents (i.e. drug patents) involved, make it more difficult to jump through all the hoops and move forward. Assuming generative AI tools have the right cybersecurity protections for your business can lead to all sorts of problems, including stolen intellectual property or private data, loss of consumer trust, and legal and compliance issues.

Increase in advancements in AI technology

This includes establishing standards for data quality, ensuring AI algorithms are free from biases, and implementing regulations that protect individual rights while promoting innovation. The rise of AI technologies presents a dual-edged sword for the workforce, offering opportunities for innovation and efficiency while also posing threats to traditional job roles. AI’s capability to automate routine tasks can lead to job displacement, urging a reevaluation of skills and job roles. On the flip side, it also creates opportunities for new types of employment, focusing on AI management, development, and ethical oversight. This shift calls for an emphasis on education and training in digital literacy, to prepare the workforce for the evolving demands of an AI-integrated economy. Despite its transformative potential, predictive AI faces challenges, including the quality of the data it relies on.

” demos and dependable deployments is what technologists refer to as the “last mile” problem. This is a cause of concern in many business, finance, medicine, and other high-stakes use cases. As generative models become more capable, implementing practices to ensure fairness, transparency, privacy, and security grows increasingly important. In Generative AI, “one size fits all” approach doesn’t make the cut for specialized use cases.

Generative AI: A Creative New World – Sequoia Capital

Generative AI: A Creative New World.

A mass disruption is unfolding in computing as AI gets embedded across everyday technology-based products and services. In the coming years, trillions of dollars’ worth of chips up will be up for replacement, in data centers and at the device level, to accommodate the adoption of Generative AI. Generative AI models operate by learning from vast datasets, using AI and machine learning principles to understand patterns and features within the data. This learning enables them to generate new, original content that mimics the input data, offering innovative solutions across creative fields.

There is currently a striking lack of perceived differentiation between brands in the nascent world of generative AI. While the range of Meaning and Salience are relatively broad between brands, users simply do not see a great deal of difference between tools, suggesting that current capabilities are (a) perceived to be very similar, and/or (b) not well understood. This presents a clear opportunity for their owners to imbue an emotional layer to help personalise and curate, alongside technical capabilities (which are likely to become a hygiene factor).

Market Landscape

But beyond that, it’ll be difficult for CISOs to be very strategic until they begin to formally use generative AI in production, standardized approaches and providers, and execute on plans accordingly. Despite these challenges, there are specific security use cases where generative AI can be beneficial, such as post-incident investigation and code review. These scenarios leverage GenAI’s ability to evaluate inputs at scale, especially in environments with ample high-quality and standardized data available on which to train.

Concerns over privacy and the societal impact of AI are driving consumers and regulatory bodies, especially in regions like the EU where GDPR was the catalyst to modern data privacy laws, to advocate for more stringent governance of AI. This year, we expect to see strides in establishing frameworks for auditing AI models, standardizing accuracy, and introducing “report cards” for AI systems but there is still a long way to go. Humane AI’s Pin (powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon processors) and Tab are redefining the wearable landscape. These devices offer a glimpse into a future where wearables are no longer just about tracking health metrics or receiving notifications. They are about enhancing human interactions, offering real-time AI assistance, and providing an augmented experience of the world around us.

• Biases in the training set can affect generative AI models like conventional machine learning models.
• Furthermore, nearly two-thirds of C-suite respondents, specifically, expect GenAI to be a game changer over the next two years and plan to invest significantly in the technology.
• The distinction between generative AI and predictive AI is not just technical but also functional, with each serving unique purposes across different sectors.
• Last year generative AI moved from the background to the foreground of the AI 50 list.

Furthermore, as with OpenAI’s GPT series of LLMs, there are a variety of models. 1.If you use generative AI, make it part of enterprise data strategy frameworks and plans. Even if the adoption would be in smaller steps and not immediate, if you decide to use generative AI, keep in mind that it should be an integral part of the data strategy. The biggest change has been the rise of generative AI, and particularly the use of transformers (a type of neural network) for everything from text and image generation to protein folding and computational chemistry. Generative AI was in the background on last year’s list but in the foreground now.

Four decades of the internet (accelerated by COVID) have given us trillions of tokens’ worth of training data. Two decades of mobile and cloud computing have given every human a supercomputer in the palm of our hands. In other words, decades of technological progress have accumulated to create the necessary conditions for generative AI to take flight. Technological progress this century has radically driven down the cost of hardware, but the costs of services delivered by humans, from healthcare to education, have skyrocketed. AI has the potential to reduce costs in such crucial areas making them more accessible and affordable.

Users have the flexibility to accept solution suggestions as-is, ask for an automated suggestion rephrase or make manual modifications to adapt suggestions to their specific needs. During the coding phase, we provide requirements, test cases for Test Driven Development (TDD) and other information to Anthropic Claude Sonnet, and the model will generate the needed code. The developer can modify the code, refactoring it to have the wanted code structure. After all, users are experts in their domain, and the IBM solution provides them with the opportunity to refine and perfect the suggested results according to their specific needs. These redesigned standardized procedures are key to delivering high-quality standards throughout, while facilitating handovers between teams, so all team members can understand and work with the results generated by generative AI. Furthermore, the technology can drive increased visibility into which stage of the development process is at, improving project management and tracking.

By 2028, Gartner expects generative AI’s ability to decipher software and cloud vendor contracts will reduce the risk of noncompliance in software and cloud contracts by 30%. The complexity of terms and conditions in IT contracts can pose significant challenges for your organization, making it difficult to stay compliant. Traditionally, software and cloud vendor management leaders have had to manually review large volumes of contract content, but GenAI promises to automate and simplify this process. The shrinking market for third-party support is concerning for TSPs, who may face a short-term increase in customers seeking cost reductions before migrating to subscription models. To survive, TSPs must expand their service offerings beyond traditional support.

Insurance companies can utilize this to better manage claims, lower costs, and evaluate property risk. Another essential component of best practices when thinking about an ethical strategy for using gen AI is data security. Gen AI systems need to be kept safe from security risks and kept an eye out for illegal access. Other steps to reduce dangers include data encryption and frequent protocol changes.

Together, IBM and AWS have developed a joint gen AI-based SDLC solution, which is now available on AWS Marketplace. The solution automates the use of company architecture standards, assets, security, available APIs, quality standards and documentation models helping ensure that all artifacts comply with approved and defined policies within the organization’s SLDC. NTT DATA’s landmark Global GenAI Report underscores how the technology is gaining momentum. Almost 70% of all respondents feel optimistic about GenAI, and organisations across industries are starting to apply genAI in ways that make a real difference in the lives of their employees and customers. The current hype and potential opportunities surrounding AI mean many entrepreneurs are eager to get involved.

The major new evolution in the Snowflake vs Databricks rivalry is the launch of Microsoft Fabric. Announced in May 2023, it’s an end-to-end, cloud-based SaaS platform for data and analytics. It integrates a lot of Microsoft products, including OneLake (open lakehouse), PowerBI and Synapse Data Science, and covers basically all data and analytics workflows, from data integration and engineering to data science. Snowflake (which historically comes from the structured data pipeline world) remains an incredible company, and one of the highest valued public tech stocks (14.8x EV/NTM revenue as of the time of writing). However, much like a lot of the software industry, its growth has dramatically slowed down – it finished fiscal 2024 with a 38% year-over-year product revenue growth, totaling $2.67 billion, projecting 22% NTM rev growth as of the time of writing). Perhaps most importantly, Snowflake gives the impression of a company under pressure on the product front – it’s been slower to embrace AI, and comparatively less acquisitive.

The market will separate strong, durable data/AI companies with sustained growth and favorable cash flow dynamics from companies that have mostly been buoyed by capital, hungry for returns in a more speculative environment. It would be equally untenable to put every startup in multiple boxes in this already overcrowded landscape. Therefore, our general approach has been to categorize a company based on its core offering, or what it’s mostly known for. As a result, startups generally appear in only one box, even if they do more than just one thing. Notably, we recently announced the signing of a multi-year strategic collaboration agreement with AWS, designed to accelerate the adoption of generative AI solutions and technologies amongst organizations of all sizes. As we look towards 2024, the potential of AI and technology to reshape our world is undeniable.

We can probably expect these companies to be smaller, but the ease of company generation means there will be far more of them. Company formation will become faster and more fluid, with new ownership and management structures. Large tech companies have been early in leveraging Generative AI for their own needs, and they’re showing interesting early data. A key initial objective for many will be to prevent the input of sensitive data into LLM products and models.

While training LLMs to perform those use cases is technically feasible, it requires significant investment in fine-tuning to achieve the effectiveness level that can already be obtained with traditional AI at lower cost and effort levels. C3 Generative AI explains why the AI demand forecast dropped significantly to supply chain teams through interactive chat. Generative AI represents a more advanced stage of AI development, creating systems capable of autonomously generating new content, ideas, or solutions. The recent introduction of ChatGPT thrust generative AI into the limelight, raising public awareness of its potential for business, productivity and art. The reliance on vast amounts of data means that any inaccuracies or biases in the data can lead to erroneous predictions, which can have serious implications, particularly in sensitive areas such as criminal justice or healthcare.

Challenges Hindering Growth: Funding and Talent Remain Key Bottlenecks

The integration of AI into work environments means that our digital preferences could automatically adjust settings in office applications, communication tools, and even physical workspaces. Imagine entering a meeting room where the lighting, temperature, and even digital displays are automatically tailored to your preferences. Banks and e-government platforms are emerging as potential custodians of these single digital identities and personal preferences. But it’s not just about security; it’s about the seamless integration of our digital selves across various platforms. Moreover, the trend is shifting away from relying solely on large, general-purpose models as they are not quite perfect for every need. Many organizations have built solutions on top of these broad models, acting as “thin wrappers” that offer limited scope for customization and scalability.

Successful enterprises will develop countermeasures to mitigate the likelihood of misinformation and identify ways in which generative AI can deliver real value to customers and the bottom line. Generative AI stands at the forefront of technological innovation, offering unparalleled benefits in creativity and problem-solving. Its ability to generate original content opens up new possibilities for customization and personalization, heralding a new era in digital creativity. Historically, advertising has always tried to connect with the widest possible audience.

Over the last few months, however, overall market demand for software products has started to adjust to the new reality. The recessionary environment has been enterprise-led so far, with consumer demand holding surprisingly strong. This has not helped MAD companies much, as the overwhelming majority of companies on the landscape are B2B vendors.

We recommend that supply chain entities use both technologies to create a robust, responsive, and intelligent supply chain ecosystem capable of withstanding the uncertainties of the modern business world. The eventual implications for both performance and training efficiency turned out to be huge. Instead of processing a string of text word by word, as previous natural language methods had, transformers can analyze an entire string all at once. This allows transformer models to be trained in parallel, making much larger models viable, such as the generative pretrained transformers, the GPTs, that now power ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot and Microsoft’s newly revived Bing. These models were trained on very large collections of human language, and are known as Large Language Models (LLMs).

Instead, intelligence will be defined by the ability to ask insightful questions, frame problems, make nuanced decisions, and motivate people. The full report offers an in-depth look into the trends and challenges shaping India’s GenAI journey, and NASSCOM recommends collaborative efforts to drive the sector forward. The emergence of new startup hubs across the country has added to the momentum, even as established tech hubs continue to dominate the GenAI space. This makes the AI development landscape significantly different than it is in the West, where a slowness on the part of regulators has very much led to an anything-goes situation. Baidu is currently on version 3 of Ernie, with version two having been developed back in 2019.

Navigating Data Privacy, Security, and Bias

Anna Ershova is a Director of Supply Chain Products at C3 AI where she leads the development of C3 AI Supply Chain Suite of applications. She has 10+ years of experience building, deploying, and scaling leading AI software for large enterprises. C3 AI offers a complete suite of products for supply chain leaders to build successful enterprise AI programs.

Enterprise leaders are currently mostly measuring ROI by increased productivity generated by AI. While they are relying on NPS and customer satisfaction as good proxy metrics, they’re also looking for more tangible ways to measure returns, such as revenue generation, savings, efficiency, and accuracy gains, depending on their use case. In the near term, leaders are still rolling out this tech and figuring out the best metrics to use to quantify returns, but over the next 2 to 3 years ROI will be increasingly important. While leaders are figuring out the answer to this question, many are taking it on faith when their employees say they’re making better use of their time. In 2023, the average spend across foundation model APIs, self-hosting, and fine-tuning models was $7M across the dozens of companies we spoke to. Moreover, nearly every single enterprise we spoke with saw promising early results of genAI experiments and planned to increase their spend anywhere from 2x to 5x in 2024 to support deploying more workloads to production.

This is our tenth annual landscape and “state of the union” of the data, analytics, machine learning and AI ecosystem. Looking broadly, this year will unveil how enterprises actually integrate LLMs into their production workloads. Without really seeing how that starts to play out, it’s hard to tell where the corresponding security pieces will land. A fitting analogy is likening it to creating a firewall before constructing the network; you need to observe how people build the networks to design an effective firewall. For companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google, security issues are existential to the product.

Explore NTT DATA’s point of view on leveraging Generative AI to modernize legacy applications and unlocking their potential. In the corporate world, G-AI can analyze market trends, predict consumer behavior, and even suggest strategic moves. However, the onus remains on the human leader to frame the strategic questions, interpret the AI’s predictions, and make decisions that align with the organization’s values and goals. Since the introduction of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, we have been amazed that almost every conversation, whether business or casual, has turned to speculation and opining about the future of generative AI (G-AI). Generative AI took the consumer landscape by storm in 2023, reaching over a billion dollars of consumer spend1 in record time. In 2024, we believe the revenue opportunity will be multiples larger in the enterprise.

This dynamic interplay ensures not only the growth of generative AI but also its sustainable and ethical integration into the global economy. Ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks are also gaining prominence alongside the capabilities of generative AI. With great power comes great responsibility, and as such, there is an increasing focus on issues such as data privacy, intellectual property rights, and the potential for misuse. These ethical debates are prompting policymakers and industry leaders to establish guidelines and standards that ensure the responsible use of AI technologies. To be clear, we don’t need large language models to write a Tolstoy novel to make good use of Generative AI.

• The famous ELIZA chatbot in the 1960s enabled users to type in questions for a simulated therapist, but the chatbot’s seemingly novel answers were actually based on a rules-based lookup table.
• Companies often struggle to move generative AI projects, whether internal productivity tools or customer-facing applications, from pilot to production.
• This reflects the widely-held belief that the technology has the potential to be truly transformational for the way we find and use information online.
• Create a great prompt that explains to the model what you want the results to look like; then add a filter to the results to ensure your customers get “on-brand” experiences.

In the meantime, it feels like a likely version of the future is that SaaS products are going to become more powerful as AI gets built into every one of them. We’re huge fans of open source AI, and clearly this has been a big trend of the last year or so. Some of the most innovative work in Generative AI has been done in the open source community. How much progress we’ve made in AI reasoning is less clear, overall – although DeepMind’s program AlphaGeometry seems to be an important milestone, as it combines a language model with a symbolic engine, which logical rules to make deductions. Interestingly, this is more or less the same discussion as the industry was having 6 years ago, as we described in a 2018 blog post. Indeed what seems to have changed mostly since 2018 is the sheer amount of data and compute we’ve thrown at (increasingly capable) models.

The widespread availability of generative AI, often at low or no cost, gives threat actors unprecedented access to tools for facilitating cyberattacks. That risk is poised to increase in 2025 as multimodal models become more sophisticated and readily accessible. To minimize harm without stifling innovation, Yee said she’d like to see regulation that can be responsive to the risk level of a specific AI application. Under a tiered risk framework, she said, “low-risk AI applications can go to market faster, [while] high-risk AI applications go through a more diligent process.” Robotics is another avenue for developing AI that goes beyond textual conversations — in this case, to interact with the physical world.

Additionally, generative AI models will need to offer more accurate, real-time information to users to keep them engaged. In contrast, ChatGPT’s free version currently works with data that stops in April 2023 and has no real-time internet connection, though paid plans have access to Bing. A handful of big tech companies like Microsoft now offer AI assistants that guide user search experiences on the web or support content generation and task completion in office suite solutions like Microsoft 365. Google has followed suit with Gemini, adding capabilities so the tool can be used directly in Gmail, Docs, and more.
