What is Generative AI? (for repetition)

Generative AI refers to systems that create data models from a collection of information and then generate new content based on these models. In contrast to discriminative models, which are trained on data to make predictions, generative models create new data instances that are similar to the training data. This advanced technology is already being used in a variety of areas, including image and speech generation, text creation and even music composition. In companies, Generative AI has the potential to drive disruptive change by offering new ways to automate and increase efficiency. A well-known example of generative AI applications is ChatGPT, Google Gemini or SwissGPT as used for this article.

What added value does Generative AI bring for companies? (for repetition)

AI tools and Generative AI bring a variety of benefits to companies, including increased efficiency, cost savings and improved creativity and innovation.

1. Increased efficiency: Generative AI can help to automate and accelerate business processes. For example, it can be used to automatically generate reports, analyze data or respond to customer service requests, increasing productivity and saving time. One example of this is Unite’s AI-based customer service.
2. Cost savings: By automating routine tasks, Generative AI can help reduce labor costs. For example, Generative AI used to respond to customer service requests can reduce the need for human customer service agents and thus save costs.
3. Improving creativity and innovation: Generative AI can be used to develop new and innovative solutions to various business problems. For example, it can be used to create design proposals, which encourages creativity and accelerates the development of new products. The template for the Generative AI Business Case shows an example of this.

Another example is the use of Generative AI in the marketing industry. Some companies use AI technology to generate personalized marketing content. These can be based on the individual preferences and behavior of customers, which increases the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. You can find an example of this in this blog post about LLM-supported campaigns.
