Generative AI was once hailed as a transformative technology, with forecasts suggesting it could add $7 trillion to global GDP by 2033. However, recent observations indicate a lack of substantial growth or job displacement linked to these technologies, raising questions about their actual impact. Despite significant investments, many companies find that generative AI is delivering minimal value, leading to skepticism about its revolutionary potential.
The slow adoption of generative AI in business settings is compounded by fears of legal repercussions and employee resistance.
