🚀 Generative AI ROI: $1 invested = $3.70 return! (Microsoft Ignite 2024 Book of News -- https://lnkd.in/esMEYWAY ) What company wouldn't want to see a 270% ROI? 🤔 The numbers speak for themselves! As someone who's been a big fan of Generative AI since its breakthrough with ChatGPT in November 2022, it's incredible to see how far we've come. Over the past year, the adoption of GenAI has surged from 55% to 75%, especially in areas like productivity and task automation. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Every day, new use cases are emerging across all industries, and we're moving from off-the-shelf AI solutions to customized, advanced AI workloads that are tailored to meet specific business needs. The potential is huge. Companies' current challenge is AI skills, but with returns like these, the incentive to invest is stronger than ever. The future of business is powered by AI—and it's happening now. 💡 #GenerativeAI #AI #Innovation #BusinessTransformation #ROI #MicrosoftIgnite #AIadoption #Productivity

INVESTMENT IN AI New study reveals the ROI of generative AI, highlights 5 trends to watch To help guide organizations on their AI transformation journey, Microsoft recently commissioned a new study through International Data Corporation (IDC), The Business Opportunity of AI. IDC’s findings show that when organizations truly commit to and invest in AI, the return on investment (ROI) potential grows significantly: The study found that the top leaders using generative AI (GenAI) are realizing a 10x return on their investment. While companies today are largely implementing out-of-the-box GenAI solutions and seeing significant ROI, more than half of those surveyed expect to build custom industry and line-of-business applications in the next 24 months – demonstrating that today’s ROI is quickly becoming tomorrow’s competitive edge. Other key findings from the study include: - GenAI usage jumped from 55% in 2023 to 75% in 2024. - For every $1 a company invests in generative AI, the ROI is $3.70. - On average, AI deployments are taking less than 8 months and organizations are realizing value within 13 months. - Within 24 months, most organizations plan to expand beyond pre-built AI solutions to advanced AI workloads that are customized or custom-built. - The ROI of generative AI is highest in Financial Services, followed by Media & Telco, Mobility, Retail & Consumer Packaged Goods, Energy, Manufacturing, Healthcare and Education. - 43% say productivity use cases have provided the greatest ROI. - The primary way in which organizations are monetizing AI today is through productivity use cases. In the next 24 months, a greater focus will be placed on functional and industry use cases. - The top barrier when implementing AI is lack of both technical and day-to-day AI skills.
