In 2025, GAI will account for 10% of all data as compared to less than 1% currently according to Gartner’s 2022 Emerging Technologies and Trends Impact Radar.

The applications for GAI are wide-ranging, from drug discovery to manufacturing, thereby challenging traditional notions of creativity as well as authorship. It is anticipated that as companies develop specialized large language models, GAI will eventually become an instrumental tool across different sectors, facilitating innovation and improving efficiency. Nonetheless, there are serious ethical, legal, and social issues that arise because it changes our manner of creating, interacting with, and comprehending various forms of content.
