Now Decides Next: The State of Generative AI in the Enterprise 2024
As the Managing Partner of AI, and a Global Leader of Innovation at Deloitte, Jas Jaaj has seen quite a few pivotal changes occur across this sector.
That's why Nicolas and David invited Jas for an episode of the AI Tsunami series in February called "Now Decides Next: The State of Generative AI in the Enterprise 2024", where Jas shared his insights on how both enterprises and individuals should start experimenting with AI applications now.
Jas makes it clear that the work that is being done today will determine who will succeed.
David has been much blunter than Jas and not sugarcoated the future that lays before us - the skillful use of emergent technologies such as generative AI is not a matter of organizational success but survival!
Many organizations risk being left behind in this early race, especially in Canada, where we tend to focus on pilots and not opportunities to deploy scalable solutions.
The highs and lows that come with any new technology adoption is not something to be feared. Instead, asking critical questions, identifying practical and incremental approaches for deployment can unlock the true potential of this technology.
