Generative AI Adoption Surges: 75% of Organizations See Revenue and Innovation Boost
Amsterdam, Tuesday, 23 July 2024.
A Capgemini report reveals a fourfold increase in generative AI deployment since 2023, with 97% of organizations now allowing its use. Three-quarters of businesses expect AI to drive revenue and innovation, signaling a transformative shift in corporate operations and investment strategies.
The Surge in Generative AI Adoption
The Capgemini report, titled ‘Harnessing the value of generative AI 2nd edition: Use cases across sectors,’ highlights a dramatic increase in the deployment of generative AI technology. The percentage of businesses using generative AI has surged from 6% in 2023 to 25% in 2024. This spike in adoption signals a significant shift in how organizations view and utilize AI technology. The survey, conducted among 1,100 executives from companies with annual revenues exceeding $1 billion, underscores the growing confidence in generative AI’s potential to drive both innovation and revenue growth.
Investment in Generative AI
Investment in generative AI technology has also seen a notable increase, with 80% of organizations ramping up their spending on this transformative technology. Notably, the aerospace and defense sectors lead the pack, with nearly 88% of companies enhancing their AI investments. For instance, the French aerospace company Airbus has integrated AI bots to assist technicians, thus improving operational efficiency. Similarly, the retail sector has witnessed a 66% uptick in AI investments, with PepsiCo using AI agents to tailor the flavors of its Cheetos snacks based on consumer feedback analyzed by AI systems.
The Role of Multi-Agent Systems
One of the most promising advancements in generative AI is the development of multi-agent systems. These systems consist of independent AI entities capable of handling specific tasks such as generating professional emails, developing simple software applications, and analyzing data. Multi-agent systems are expected to evolve further, enabling businesses to create more value from their AI investments. Pascal Brier, Chief Innovation Officer at Capgemini, emphasizes that as AI technology progresses, it will transition from a supportive tool to an independent agent with increased execution capabilities.
Concrete Benefits and Future Prospects
The Capgemini report details several concrete benefits of generative AI, including a 6.7% improvement in customer engagement and satisfaction in areas where AI was implemented. Additionally, the report indicates that organizations are witnessing tangible revenue growth and accelerated innovation efforts. With 97% of organizations permitting the use of generative AI, and a significant portion of them doing so with specific guidelines, the technology’s potential for transforming business operations is immense. Looking ahead, autonomous AI agents capable of communicating with each other are predicted to arrive by 2025, further revolutionizing the corporate landscape.
