Generative AI in healthcare: Examples, benefits, use cases
Generative AI promises to transform the healthcare industry by streamlining tedious work and improving patient care.
Businesses have been incorporating artificial intelligence into their operations for several years now. For the most part, they adopted AI at a steady, but rather slow pace. Then ChatGPT and generative AI burst onto the scene, triggering a stampede.
Less than a year after generative AI tools became publicly available, a third of organizations are using gen AI regularly in at least one business function, a McKinsey & Company global survey found. Forty percent of organizations said they plan to increase their investment in AI overall.
“Amid recent advances, AI has risen from a topic relegated to tech employees to a focus of company leaders,” the firm said.
According to the Deloitte’s State of AI in the Enterprise, 5th Edition report, 94% of global business leaders say AI is vital to success over the next five years.
While it’s still early days for generative AI, there are plenty of examples of all types of AI in business. Here are some of the best examples from our archives.
