By Lucas Mearian Chatbots, those AI-infused assistants that can be used by enterprises for any number of time-saving and productivity-increasing tasks, are some of the lowest hanging fruit in any organization’s quest to adopt generative artificial intelligence (genAI). Beginning with OpenAI’s ChatGPT in November 2022, chatbots have been increasingly adopted to automate various business processes and assist employees in performing mundane tasks. Chatbots can be integrated through APIs with enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) backend systems to utilize p...

By Lucas Mearian Over the next two years, generative artificial intelligence (genAI) will force organizations to address a myriad of fast-evolving issues, from data security to tech review boards, new services, and — most importantly — upskilling employees. By 2027, AI will represent 29% of organizational spend, according to IDC President Crawford Del Prete, who spoke Thursday at the IDC Directions conference in Boston. This year alone, the average enterprise will spend $28 million dollars on genAI initiatives, based on data from a February IDC survey. In all, organizations will spend $150 bil...

By Lucas Mearian Even after Google fixes its large language model (LLM) and gets Gemini back online, the generative AI (genAI) tool may not always be reliable — especially when generating images or text about current events, evolving news, or hot-button topics. “It will make mistakes,” the company wrote in a mea culpa posted last week. “As we’ve said from the beginning, hallucinations are a known challenge with all LLMs — there are instances where the AI just gets things wrong. This is something that we’re constantly working on improving.” Prabhakar Raghavan, Google’s senior vice president of ...

By Lucas Mearian By 2030, companies will spend $42 billion a year on generative artificial intelligence (genAI) projects such as chatbots, research, writing, and summarization tools. And while the technology has been heralded as a boon to productivity, nailing down a return on investment (ROI) in genAI could prove to be elusive. “Capturing and measuring the exact productivity improvements has been a challenge for many of our clients,” said Rita Sallam, a distinguished vice president analyst at Gartner. “For [genAI], we are not saying that finding ROI may be difficult, but expressing ROI has be...

By Grant Gross A civil tribunal in Canada has ordered Air Canada to pay for a mistake made by a customer-service chatbot, highlighting the need for companies to better train and monitor their artificial intelligence (AI) tools. British Columbia resident Jake Moffatt visited Air Canada’s website in November 2022 to book a flight for his grandmother’s funeral in Ontario. The website’s chatbot told him he could be refunded a portion of the next-day ticket and the return ticket, if he applied for the discount within 90 days. That information was incorrect; Air Canada’s policy, available on its web...

By Lucas Mearian Only a week afterreleasing its latest generative artificial intelligence (genAI) model, Google on Thursday unveiled that model’s successor, Gemini 1.5. The company boasts that the new version bests the earlier version on almost every front. Gemini 1.5 is a multimodal AI model now ready for early testing. Unlike OpenAI's popular ChatGPT, Google said, users can feed into its query engine a much larger amount of information to get more accurate responses. (OpenAI also announced a new AI model today: Sora, a text-to-video model that can generate complex video scenes with multiple ...

By Elizabeth Montalbano Nvidia on Tuesday announced a generative AI (genAI) chatbot that can run on Windows PCs, giving enterprises the potential to leverage AI on employees' local environments to bolster productivity rather than requiring them to access genAI tools on platforms hosted by providers such as OpenAI. The graphics chipmaker released Chat with RTX, a demo app now available for free download; it lets users personalize a chatbot with their own content, basically customizing the data sources of the bot's large language models (LLMs). This keeps users’ private data on their PC while he...

By Grant Gross Otter.ai, the real-time notetaking service, is seeking to shake up the enterprise transcription market with its new Meeting GenAI feature, which can capture, access, and immediately provide information from meetings across an organization. Meeting GenAI will be able to recall notes from another video conference, phone call, or in-person meeting from weeks earlier, for someone who wasn’t able to attend or who doesn’t remember what happened. This capability will work for a person sitting at her desk or for a group of people in a teleconference or in-person meeting. So, for example...
