In an era defined by rapid technological evolution, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force, that is quickly becoming part of our daily lives. As we witness the widespread integration of AI technologies, it becomes evident that we’re at the forefront of a new wave, one dominated by the rise of Generative AI. AI is not merely a concept of the future but an ever-growing reality, and its popularity continues to soar. Generative AI is a technological frontier that promises innovation, efficiency, and possibilities you simply cannot afford to overlook. In this blog, we delve into the forecasted uptake of AI devices, and the impact they are poised to have on industries and individuals alike.
How Generative AI has become the norm.
Fueled by Microsoft’s support, ChatGPT pioneered the Generative AI landscape with its late 2022 launch, triggering a subsequent influx of competitors. The rapid integration of Generative AI into our daily routines is underscored by insights from Deloitte’s 2023 Digital Consumer Trends research:
- Over half of the UK population (52%) is familiar with Generative AI.
- 26% have experienced the technology first-hand.
- Approximately 8% of respondents (equivalent to over four million individuals in the UK) have employed Generative AI tools in their professional capacities.
This trend extends globally, with Salesforce highlighting Generative AI’s prevalence:
- 73% of the surveyed Indian population actively uses Generative AI.
- In Australia, the figure stands at 49%.
- In the US, 45% of the population embraces Generative AI.
Notably, research indicates that Marketing professionals lead the charge in Generative AI adoption in the US, closely followed by Technology professionals.
Generative AI and Automation is seen as a game changer
According to Salesforce’s latest State of IT report, a significant 86% of IT leaders anticipate that Generative AI will assume a crucial role in their organisations in the foreseeable future.
This overwhelming majority envisions several benefits from Generative AI, including:
- Enhancing customer service.
- Optimising data utilisation for organisational advantage.
- Improving operational efficiency.
- Alleviating team workload and preventing burnout.
- Accelerating customer service delivery.

What does the future of Generative AI look like?
While each industry presents unique use cases and perspectives on generative AI, the potential benefits are widely acknowledged among workers. Salesforce’s generative AI research indicates these advantages range from time-saving in routine tasks to enhancing customer experiences and boosting revenue. According to IoT Analytics’ 2023 study, global IoT connections are anticipated to reach nearly 30 billion by 2027.
If this projection holds true, with over 19 billion IoT connections worldwide next year, a significant fraction of these connections involving “Smart” IoT devices like Smart Displays, Security Cams, Smart Kiosks, Industrial Sensors, etc., is expected to leverage Generative AI technology. This trend suggests a thriving growth trajectory for Generative AI in the foreseeable future.
Furthermore, the noteworthy point is the substantial investment of over $21 billion in Generative AI startups in 2023 as reported by Pitchbook, witnessing a significant surge from $5.1 billion in 2022. As Generative AI increasingly integrates into our daily lives, this upward trajectory in investment is expected to continue, marking Generative AI’s ongoing integration into our world.
