Impact of Generative AI on Platform Shifts and Adoption

Generative AI, particularly in 2024, marks a significant platform shift comparable to the evolution of machine learning in the past decade. The comparison with the last wave of machine learning starting in 2013, indicated a gradual progression from demos of image recognition to broader AI applications like language and translation solutions. This shift demands companies to redefine their models, unbundle incumbents, and strategize market approaches to leverage pattern recognition capabilities effectively.
