Make Gen AI Real for Your Enterprise

5 min read

From the moment Generative AI landed in the public sphere, businesses have been trying to understand its potential. Over $50 billion has been invested in Gen AI globally to date. That’s compared to just $14 billion in the past two years combined — a stunning 270% increase.

Industries across the spectrum are feverishly trying to determine how and where Gen AI can provide them with the most value. We’ve shared the ways that Gen AI can accelerate growth in the gaming industry and why it’s poised to see some of the biggest benefits from this technology.

Yet, some executives are still reluctant to jump headfirst into these unprecedented opportunities. One study even found that 60% of business leaders fear not just the cost, but the lack of clear business use cases for implementing Gen AI.

With the breadth of opportunities to incorporate Gen AI into your business, how can you accurately pinpoint relevant use cases and accelerate its use?

Four ways to make gen ai real for your enterprise

To move beyond the hype, there are four main paths you can follow to make Gen AI real for your enterprise right now.

1. Pay and use

This option is optimal if you remain uncertain about Gen AI’s utility or simply aim to swiftly deploy Gen AI applications.

Although providing the lowest level of potential value to your enterprise, it offers the benefit of speed. As this approach involves using third-party applications, your customization options and control are fairly limited. Additionally, integration into your corporate systems or products won't be feasible using this method. For those merely seeking internal process enhancement, this might not be an issue. But if you’re looking for a comprehensive, long-term integration of Gen AI into your enterprise, you should consider other options.

2. Integrate your apps with foundational models

The next level is integrating third-party Gen AI models (not applications) into your own. You’re able to get to market faster when you incorporate these Gen AI models into your applications.

The benefits of this path are that it increases your ability to get products and services in front of your users. However, it isn't a high-value choice for long-term growth.

3. Enrich Gen AI models with your data

The third path you can take is to customize third-party Gen AI models with your data. You can train the third-party model to be more responsive to your specific business needs using your internal data for analysis.

While using third-party Gen AI models doesn't provide complete customization, training it on your unique data does improve its use versus off-the-shelf models. And since you’re not building the model from scratch, you can train it faster. This choice strikes a balance between speed and customization, though it may not be the optimal choice for long-term success.

4. Train Gen AI models on your data

Finally, you can develop custom Gen AI models trained on your data. Unlike third-party offerings, this allows you to build the models from the ground up and incorporate the tools and customizations your enterprise requires.

When integrated into your applications, you maintain full intellectual property ownership and control. This option offers the highest long-term value for leveraging Gen AI.
