Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizes Corporate Growth and Cost Efficiency
Businesses around the world are currently witnessing an unparalleled transformation attributed to artificial intelligence (AI), as predicted by FPT Smart Cloud CEO, Mr. Lê Hồng Việt. The global AI market revenue is expected to reach approximate 196 billion USD in the year 2023, with a staggering annual growth rate of around 37.3%. Looking forward, the AI industry is poised to experience a growth of around 20 times from the year 2023 to 2030 compared to an already impressive 200 billion USD.
AI’s Promising Impact on Business Profits and Expenditures
A survey by McKinsey & Company indicated that over 10% of businesses expect a revenue growth rate of 6-10% and even higher due to AI implementation. AI technologies will not only augment human tasks but also create new job opportunities, thus enhancing productivity when operated by human intelligence.
Innovations in Generative AI Fuel Economic Growth
The wave of generative AI, with applications like ChatGPT, is projected to add around 4.4 trillion USD to the global GDP and could save enterprises approximately 2.6 trillion USD in costs. If businesses leverage generative AI wisely, they could cut costs by 10-15%. This segment of technology has received a significant investment of 25 billion USD in 2023, noting a 75% increase from previous years, despite an overall decrease in startup investments globally.
AI Ushering a New Paradigm in Customer Support and Leadership Commitment
One of the most common applications of AI in enterprises today is the use of AI chatbots for customer assistance on websites, enhancing user engagement by providing instant responses to inquiries about services and product usage. The success of such initiatives hinges on CEO commitment, as AI adoption fundamentally changes business operations.
FPT’s AI Initiative: FPT GenAI for Business
To simplify and optimize AI applications for enterprises, FPT’s new offering, FPT GenAI for Business, aims to enable rapid implementation of AI technologies within less than two months, with a pay-as-you-go model that ensures affordability and eliminates financial risk for businesses.
Adoption of AI among Key Criteria for Future Leadership
In a world of rapid change, particularly with the strong advancement of AI applications, the responsibility of leadership is at its peak. Mr. Hoàng Nam Tiến, Vice Chairman of the FPT University Council, stressed the urgent need for leaders to envision AI as the immediate future within the next decade. AI now exhibits the capacity to generate its own data and algorithms, often surprising the very programmers who created it.
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at the World Economic Forum in January 2024, nearly 40% of global jobs may be affected by AI’s advancement by 2030. With AI evolution at an accelerating pace, the responsibility of leaders to embrace AI while harnessing human-AI collaboration is paramount. The criteria for future leadership involve unified thinking between AI and humans, predictive analysis, guidance, adaptability, and advanced emotional intelligence (EQ).
