Deep dives
Use Case 1: Enhancing Customer Experience in Contact Centers
Large language models are being used to replace traditional chatbots in contact centers, providing a more natural language conversation with customers. These models can also assist human agents by summarizing conversations and analyzing call transcriptions to gather insights for product and campaign planning.
Use Case 2: Industry-Specific Co-Pilots
Organizations in various industries are leveraging large language models to develop industry-specific co-pilots. Examples include a fashion retailer using an AI co-pilot to guide store operations and a data platform company creating an AI co-pilot for industrial data analysis and insights. These co-pilots combine industry expertise with AI capabilities to enhance efficiency and decision-making in specific contexts.
Use Case 3: Automotive AI Assistants
Automotive companies like Mercedes and TomTom are integrating large language models into their in-car voice assistants, enabling natural language conversations and performing various tasks. These assistants provide users with an intuitive and interactive experience while driving.
Use Case 4: Industrial Applications
In the industrial domain, companies like Siemens, ABB, and Congenite are utilizing large language models for tasks such as predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, log analysis, and quality management. These applications enhance efficiency, analyze data for insights, and improve operational processes.
The Global Landscape of Gen AI Adoption
The adoption of generative AI varies across different regions, with the US and China leading in AI development, while Europe is catching up. However, Europe's accumulated industry-specific knowledge and expertise make it well-positioned to apply generative AI in various sectors. We can expect to see more industry-specific co-pilots and AI solutions coming out of Europe, leveraging its deep industrial heritage.
