When something like DeepSeek AI happens, it makes everyone feel like we are late to the game, and everyone has already surged ahead. But the the truth is that we are still early in the game. Winners and losers have not yet been decided, disruption is happening, but technology has not been disrupted. That is good news. It means there is still time to jump on your surf board, ride the wave, enjoy the ride, and cash in on new AI value being created.

According to Financial Times, 92% of Fortune 500 companies have adopted GenAI technologies in some way. According to PWC, more than half are already seeing increases in productivity, while around one-third report increased revenue (32%) and profitability (34%). So, what happened to generative AI? In the last two years adoption soared and it shows no sign of peaking. In my opinion, we have barely touched the surface of what generative AI can do for organizations. The good news, rapid adoption means that we have identified the use cases where generative AI is yielding the best results.?https://lnkd.in/eNdgCh6n Tune in to the latest episode of The Digital Analyst podcast, “The Chief Data Officer's Guide to Generative AI,” with BARC industry analyst, Kevin Petrie.?Kevin is the VP of Research at BARC US, where he manages the research agenda and writes about data engineering, data observability, machine learning, AI, and cloud data platforms.

If you tuned in to the last episode of The Digital Analyst, you know that John Santaferraro put a stake in the sand by saying that 2025 is the year of the #AI agent. Generative AI hype is on its way out, and the conversation this year is going to be focused on AI agents and agentic architectures. One of his predictions: Executives in all industries are going to be going back to school in 2025, back to AI school. It is a year when AI literacy should be a top priority for every executive team. With this in mind, we are excited to have Donald Farmer join us on this new podcast.
