During our exclusive Breakfast Briefing on Thursday, June 20, 2024, our analysts shared insights on the adoption of gen AI across industries to decipher where enterprises have been able to straddle the spectrum from “can work” to “is working.”

Generative AI also kept regulatory bodies on their toes in 2023 as they struggled to develop guidelines for its safe implementation. Our analysts also discussed the challenges and opportunities presented by the ever-evolving regulatory landscape in the UK and EU.

Key Takeaways

• Gen AI is scaling in the enterprise with focused investments in areas with proven economic value, moving beyond pilots and experiments
• The leading enterprises’ use cases currently are customer experience management, content supply chain, and developer productivity
• Leading enterprises are looking at AI, starting with the use on current tech stacks and now are evaluating how they can scale these investments in the current macroeconomic context and build out the last mile
• The lens of regulation in Europe and UK&I aims to enhance the safety guardrails of technology adoption, while balancing the tightrope of innovation
• The current wave of regulation (EU AI Act, CSRD) is also creating new opportunities across trusted sustainability reporting, AI model governance, and risk management
• Lastly, while elections and geopolitical turmoil continue to weigh on enterprise decision making, there’s a recognized need for innovation and transformation to continue, albeit with an incremental lens
