Excerpt about Artificial Intelligence (AI) taken from our e-book Trends Report: technology & outsourcing
Eighty years after the creation of the first artificial neuron model as the basis for building intelligent systems, we find ourselves sitting in front of our computers conversing with artificial intelligence. After the initial excitement, it is time to face the possibilities and risks of the new technologies that use AI, which promises to be as revolutionary as the emergence of the internet.
AI, what a madness: what is happening
With tools like ChatGPT, generative artificial intelligence is providing powerful resources for non-technical users and raising questions about the future of work structures and how we seek information on the internet. We can consider 2023 as the year of AI consolidation.
We cannot fail to mention that artificial intelligence has also caused transformations in various economic sectors. A survey by Appen shows that 73% of companies believe artificial intelligence is critical to business success. Today, many leaders, especially in the tech industry, see AI as necessary for growth (even if some advancements may make certain functions obsolete).
Many organizations are outsourcing their AI projects to develop customized solutions and meet specific business needs. Gartner predicts that by 2026, companies adopting AI engineering practices to build and manage adaptive AI systems will outperform their competitors in operationalizing AI models by at least 25%.
Leadership through the lens of Artificial Intelligence
Nowadays, leaders find themselves in scenarios where they are expected to expand their skills with new technologies and deliver more with fewer resources. This, of course, is in addition to managing their teams. What time is left for reflecting on customer pain points, company processes, and the future? AI can – and should – emerge as a great ally for leadership.
With the use of artificial intelligence, it is possible to automate repetitive and routine tasks such as data management and analysis, and information processing, significantly reducing the time leaders need to spend on these activities. Through real-time data analysis, this technology can provide important insights into what is happening in the company and the market as a whole. AI can also help leaders become more aware and present in the moment, allowing them to develop a more mindful approach to business. This increased awareness can aid in making more assertive and conscious decisions.
What will the future be like with Artificial Intelligence?
The future with AI is promising and exciting. As a multiplier force of technological progress, it enables other technologies and drives the evolution of society as a whole. It takes us to a level where limits are no longer dictated by technical skills but by good ideas. Want to know more about what we can expect?
