Key Points
- AI technology, particularly generative AI, is being used to solve existing problems in companies rather than just creating new things, which is a significant yet less discussed aspect of AI applications.
- There is a need to set ethical guardrails for AI to prevent misuse and ensure that its integration into various sectors like legal and medical is done with human oversight and intent.
- The value of AI is recognized when it leads to tangible outcomes and improvements in various industries, which is why its adoption is more widespread compared to technologies like blockchain that struggled to find practical applications.
