The O'Reilly report on "Generative AI in the Enterprise" reveals its rapid adoption in businesses, primarily for programming, data analysis, and customer interaction. Key challenges include finding suitable applications and managing risks like security and bias.
We’ve never seen a technology adopted as fast as generative AI—it’s hard to believe that ChatGPT is barely a year old. As of November 2023: Two-thirds (67%) of our survey respondents report that their companies are using generative AI. AI users say that AI programming (66%) and data analysis (59%) are the most needed skills. Many AI adopters are still in the early stages. 26% have been working with AI for under a year. But 18% already have applications in production. Difficulty finding appropriate use cases is the biggest bar to adoption for both users and nonusers. 16% of respondents working with AI are using open source models. Unexpected outcomes, security, safety, fairness and bias, and privacy are the biggest risks for which adopters are testing.
