Perspective
With AI, organisations will sink or swim
When Open AI’s ChatGPT achieved over 100m monthly users in six months, it demonstrated the appetite for generative artificial intelligence (AI). Tech giant Microsoft had already invested $1bn (£784m) in the company back in 2019. That figure has since soared to $13bn (£10.2bn). The sentiment couldn’t be clearer: “We knew it was going to be big. But did not expect it to be this big!” Yet the enthusiasm among individual users hasn’t quite been reflected in how organisations are getting to grips with the transformative technology.
