The rise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has spurred a debate on its risks and benefits among companies. Simultaneously, a wave of adoption is observed, with companies delving into advanced language models like ChatGPT. As discussions around transformative technologies intensify, businesses grapple with navigating the potential and challenges presented by GenAI, marking a pivotal moment in the integration of cutting-edge AI solutions, according to GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.
An analysis of GlobalData’s Company Filings Analytics Database reveals that companies are centering their discussions on GenAI-driven product development. While some are investing in and enhancing existing products, others are introducing entirely new offerings powered by GenAI.
