AI in Enterprises - Summary

AI Value Creation

  • AI projected to create 3-4 trillion from generative AI.

Types of AI

  • Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI): Task-specific AI, e.g., smart speakers, self-driving cars.
  • Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Broad AI, capable of performing any task a human can do.

How AI Works

  • Supervised Learning (A to B): Examples include spam filtering, speech recognition, and machine translation.
  • Large Language Models (LLMs): Trained to predict the next word in a sequence, like ChatGPT.

Data in AI

  • Data Acquisition: Data is collected through manual labeling, observing user behavior, or partnerships.
  • Data Quality: The success of AI depends on the quality of the data; issues like incorrect labels and missing values affect outcomes.

AI Applications in Enterprises
