Four Ways Generative AI Can Be Incorporated To Accelerate Business Strategies And Operations | Forbes
Generative AI has been moving 100 miles an hour ever since it was born at the end of 2022, drawing in 100 million people and counting. Forbes points out four doors that businesses can take advantage of and scale their operations:

- Top-down: Gen AI will unlock the value of 10-plus years of investments in data, insights, and artificial intelligence, including machine-learning models. This is where your investments in trusted AI will pay off because you’re ready to use them. Every part of your business will have ideas on how to use generative AI, mostly to optimize, automate, or augment something.
- Outside-in: Every day, there is a new application using gen AI to do something useful. Already, in the US, 35% of Gen Z-ers and 25% of Millennials have used bots to help buy hard-to-find inventory. Businesses need to start by anticipating where customers’ adoption will directly affect their company.
- Inside-out: As you move through the gen AI opportunity thicket, businesses will quickly identify ways to help customers and deliver more value with their own gen AI-infused applications. Opportunities such as streamlining customer onboarding, hyper-personalize engagement, providing better customer self-service, and stimulating a new round of value creation.

In classrooms, teachers put AI tutoring bots to the test | The Economic Times
Newark Public Schools is one of the first school systems in the United States to pilot test Khanmigo, an automated teaching aid developed by Khan Academy, an education nonprofit whose online lessons are used by hundreds of districts.

The Generative AI TLDR
“Generative AI’s impact on productivity could add trillions of dollars in value to the global economy. Our latest research estimates that generative AI could add the equivalent of $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion annually across the 63 use cases we analyzed—by comparison, the United Kingdom’s entire GDP in 2021 was $3.1 trillion. This would increase the impact of all artificial intelligence by 15 to 40 percent.”
