State of Generative AI Feedback Panel

As a follow-up to our State of Generative AI report and survey, ETR Insights hosted an interview with a panel of veteran IT executives who began by emphasizing how generative AI is deployed within organizations to enhance operational capabilities rather than replacing human roles. Our panel highlighted using AI for creating marketing drafts, code generation managing compliance, and improving reporting and underwriting processes while emphasizing the importance of human oversight to audit AI-generated outputs. Concerns were raised about legal liabilities, the need for transparency in AI interactions with customers, and integrating AI governance with existing data management frameworks to manage vendor-related risks and inherent AI biases. Many executives see AI funding as part of a broader commitment to emerging technologies, necessitating new budget allocations.

About Generative AI

Gen AI, (Generative Artificial Intelligence) represents a groundbreaking leap in technology. Powered by deep-learning models, it has the ability to generate diverse forms of content, including ideas, text, imagery, audio, conversations, videos, and even synthetic data.

While gen AI has been used since the 1960s, it took a spotlight in 2022 with the unveiling of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. The debut of ChatGPT marked a watershed moment, captivating the press, businesses, and popular culture in a manner unprecedented by any previous generative AI or large language model (LLM) tool. Widely regarded as a “Sputnik moment,” ChatGPT ignited a new era of competition and innovation in the field of AI.

Today, organizations across diverse industries are exploring the vast potential of ML/AI technologies. Use cases include code generation, customer support, content creation, text and data summarization, as well as image editing and design.

As the AI/LLM landscape continues to evolve, tailor-made solutions cater to the unique needs of organizations at various stages of their advanced analytics journey. Major players such as Microsoft, AWS, and Google lead the charge, offering comprehensive MLOps capabilities tailored to mature data science operations. Meanwhile, open-source champions like TensorFlow and Anaconda, coupled with popular libraries and languages like Jupyter Notebook and Python, empower developers worldwide to push the boundaries of AI innovation. Specialized vendors like Databricks and Dataiku provide sophisticated data management solutions that fuel both data science endeavors and business intelligence initiatives.
