How does artificial intelligence affect society?

The world's leading research and analysis companies have teamed up to provide leading technology consulting and digital solutions to global enterprises in various industries. They have jointly released a report titled "Stop dreaming and start taking action, using GenAI to win practical and urgent guidelines. This study emphasizes the transformative potential of GenAI for businesses and provides important insights on how businesses can transition from a visionary dreamer mindset to a pragmatic, implementation focused practitioner mindset.

Firstly, this survey includes a series of in-depth interviews with 260 business leaders with GenAI experience in North America, the UK, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. The research results indicate that there is no longer a need to postpone the GenAI program. Each surveyed leader stated that GenAI will be deployed in their IT plans within the next 12-18 months and its application will be widely promoted, with 39% of them stating that GenAI will appear in more than half of their IT plans during the same time period.

Secondly, the report emphasizes that adopting a proactive and practical mindset can drive enterprises beyond the concept validation stage and pilot projects, and achieve comprehensive operational deployment of GenAI. Compared to enterprises still in the planning stage, enterprises adopting this method are five times more likely to achieve GenAI feature deployment, demonstrating the practical benefits of practical strategies.

In addition, the report urges business leaders to seize the enormous potential of GenAI while managing related risks, costs, and compliance considerations. The report emphasizes the urgency of actively participating in the rapidly developing technological environment and emphasizes the message to stop dreaming and start taking action. GenAI is changing businesses by automating tasks, enhancing content creation, and improving productivity, demonstrating how integrating GenAI into core operations can bring far-reaching results and facilitate rapid innovation expansion.

However, companies from social media giants are becoming more transparent about software provider Microsoft's use of artificial intelligence under pressure from government agencies, regulatory committees, and investors. Recently, they have updated their relatively new AI tagging policy, providing clearer explanations for the content generated by the technology to address concerns about the possible spread of false information on Facebook and other platforms.

Microsoft has released a responsible AI report, and Apple has announced that it will disclose more information about its AI plans, following a proposal seeking more AI related business and ethical information that received 37.5% shareholder support in February. These companies are one of the six goals that shareholders are requesting to disclose the risks posed by the artificial intelligence tools they have developed to maintain industry competitiveness to their finances and operations, employees, and society as a whole. Pressure will not stop companies from advancing artificial intelligence. Enterprises see artificial intelligence as a huge economic opportunity and vigorously promote their emphasis on it in their investor submissions.

The period when artificial intelligence investors face the greatest pressure is at the annual shareholders' meeting, when Google's parent company faces three artificial intelligence proposals simultaneously. These proposals call for the release of a report on misinformation and false information about the spread of artificial intelligence, which received 17.6% support; Request governance reform to have the audit and compliance committee of the board of directors responsible for overseeing the use of artificial intelligence.

Overall, as the competition for artificial intelligence intensifies, companies will continue to debate how to best address ethical, legal, and regulatory issues related to topics ranging from data privacy to the impact of the technology on the environment. GenAI represents a revolutionary technological change, providing unparalleled capabilities to transform business operations and maintain outdated processes and technologies. The era has come to an end.
