Artificial intelligence (AI) apps are becoming increasingly crucial for individual customers and businesses alike. These apps bring many benefits, such as task automation, efficient analysis of large data sets, and data-informed decision-making, making AI-powered applications highly valuable. As a result, DevOps teams working on AI apps can’t afford poor performance.

A lot of the buzz around AI focuses on its future potential. And we get it — we’re talking about a transformative technology that presents seemingly limitless possibilities. But an important aspect of this world-changing tech story that gets lost in the hype is understanding exactly what AI solutions are available for you and your team to employ right now, today.

Gen AI is quickly reshaping industries, and the pace of innovation is incredible to witness. The introduction of ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion and many more incredible tools have opened up new possibilities we couldn’t have imagined 18 months ago. While building gen AI application pilots is fairly straightforward, scaling them to production-ready, customer-facing implementations is a novel challenge for enterprises, and especially for the financial services sector.

Nearly every facet of society has felt the impact of AI since it burst into the mainstream in late 2022 with the public launch of ChatGPT. In 2024, the retail and consumer goods industry is expected to experience massive upheaval due to the proliferation of generative AI (gen AI) tools as well as changes in customer engagement and the general manner in which products are now sold.

Artificial intelligence has been instrumental in helping businesses streamline and speed up business operations by automating repetitive tasks. It also frees up workers to focus on higher-level tasks that require human intervention. And when paired with other intelligent automation tools, such as robotic process automation, it can improve business processes and provide a competitive advantage.

Generative AI’s (gen AI) capabilities seemed startlingly novel a year ago, when ChatGPT’s release led to an explosion of public usage and, simultaneously, intense debate about its potential societal and business impacts. That period of initial amazement and suspicion has given way to business urgency, as companies scramble to adopt gen AI in ways that leverage its potential for maximizing workforce productivity and profitability.
