Moving Generative AI from Experimentation to Operation
The rapid advancement of Generative AI (Gen AI) is driving innovation across various industries, from legal document processing to demand forecasting and customer service. Organizations are moving beyond experimentation to operationalize Gen AI, unlocking efficiencies, cost savings and new revenue streams.
However, AI adoption is not without its hurdles. Many enterprises struggle with identifying the right use cases, sourcing data, ensuring quality and complying with regulatory requirements. The key to success lies in a well-defined AI strategy, robust governance models, leveraging ecosystem partners and a collaborative approach that involves cross-functional teams.
