2023 has been one of the most disruptive years in the field of artificial intelligence, with a plethora of generative AI products entering the mainstream. Continuing its transformative journey, generative AI is expected to transition from an exciting topic to real-world applications in 2024. The field of generative AI is rapidly evolving, giving rise to a series of widespread trends that will facilitate the adoption of AI across various industries and its presence in our daily lives. Generative AI models are transcending text creation through the integration of multimodal functionalities.

Generative AI accounts for less than 1% of corporate cloud spending, compared to 18% for traditional AI. The MenloVentures report reveals the actual investment status in the industry. Companies are hesitant and concerned about generative AI, mainly due to unproven return on investment and 'last mile problems'. MenloVentures survey shows that while the generative AI market is rapidly developing, companies’ hesitance primarily revolves around validating investment returns and addressing last mile issues.

🚀 AI Trends: Since the release of ChatGPT, generative AI has been on the rise, with enterprises continuously developing or adopting AI models. 📊 Forecast Numbers: The Gartner report predicts that by 2026, 80% of enterprises will use generative AI APIs or models, a significant increase from less than 5% in 2023. 💡 Innovation Directions: The report highlights innovative areas that will have a profound impact on organizations over the next decade, including generative AI applications, foundational models, as well as AI trust, risk, and security management.
