Generative AI is predicted to impact all sectors and “add trillions of dollars in value to the global economy.” The latest advancements in generative AI have made the technology more accessible and democratised than ever before. Individuals and organizations are now able to leverage AI at a more microscopic capacity, accessing AI-powered solutions without having to invest in expensive hardware and infrastructure.

The opportunities for businesses to use generative AI to improve productivity are seemingly limitless.
