A.I. : 

''' BIG BETS BIT '''

UNORTHODOX BLUNT HONOURS INTERVENTION : FOR THE Global Founder Framers of !WOW! - the greatest blessing and talent is to try reading '' Nature's Great Scheme of Things for !WOW!.

'' IF AND WHEN Having distilled that - Founder Engineer Esteemed Salar Khan Yusafzai should get his team together and set up a Great Vision for The World Students Society. We have to learn to think big in the service of Mankind. God Bless your endeavours. ''

NEARLY FOUR DECADES AGO - WHEN THE personal computer boom was in full swing, a phenomenon known as the '' productivity paradox '' emerged. Classically for now ' Big bets on A.I. show no signs of paying off.'

RESEARCH : Promised efficiency gains haven't helped companies' bottom lines, study finds. In the Change Over or Makeover plans,  the chaos and uncertainty has raised the cost of doing business.

All this is with reference to how, despite companies' huge investments in new technology, there was  scant evidence of a corresponding gain in workers' efficiency.

Today, the same paradox is appearing, but with generative artificial intelligence. According to recent research from McKinsey & Company nearly eight in ten companies have reported using generative A.I., but just as many have reported '' no significant bottom line impact. ''

A.I. technology has been racing ahead with chatbots like ChatGPT, fueled by a high-stakes arms race among tech giants and superrich start-ups and prompting an expectation that everything from back-office accounting to customer service will be revolutionized.

But the payoff for businesses outside the tech sector is lagging behind, plagued by issues including an irritating tendency by chatbots to make some wretched and stupid stuff up.

That means that businesses will have to continue to invest billions of dollars to avoid falling behind - but it could be years before the technology delivers an economywide payoff, as companies gradually figure out what works best.

Call it '' the gen A.I. paradox,'' as McKinsey did in its research report. Investments in generative A.I. by businesses are expected to increase 94 percent this year to $61.9 billion according to IDC, a technology research firm.

But the percentage of companies abandoning most of their A.I. pilot projects soared to 42 percent by the end of 2024, up from 17 percent the previous year, according to a survey of more than 1,000  technology and business managers by S&P Global, a data analytics firm.

Projects failed not only because of technical hurdles, but often because of '' human factors '' like employee and customer resistance or lack of skills, said Alexander Johnston, a senior analyst at S&P Global.

Gartner, a research and advisory firm that charts technological '' hype cycles,'' predicts that A.I. is sliding toward a stage it calls '' the trough of disillusionment.''

The low point is expected next year before the technology eventually becomes a proven tool, said John-David Lovelock, the chief forecaster at Gartner.

That was the pattern with past technologies like personal computers and the internet - early exuberance, the hard slog of mastering a technology, followed by a transformation of industries and work.

The winners so far have been the suppliers of A.I. technology and advice. They include Microsoft, Amazon and Google, which offer A.I. software, while Nvidia is the runaway leader in A.I. chips.

Executives at these companies have bragged how A.I. is reshaping their own work forces, eliminating the need for some entry-level coding work and making their workers more efficient.

A.I. will eventually replace entire swaths of human employees, many predict a perspective that is being widely embraced in the corporate mainstream.

At the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado in June, Jim Farley, the chief executive of Ford Motor, said, '' Artificial Intelligence is going to replace literally half of all white-collar workers in the U.S.''

Whether that type of revolutionary change occurs, and how soon, depends on the real-world testing ground of many businesses.
