The iPhone reached a hundred million users after sixteen years. Facebook achieved this number in just 4.5 years. ChatGPT only needed three months: Frank Callewaert from Microsoft illustrates during the round table on AI, organized by ITdaily, how significant the generative AI hype really is. "Even our grandma now knows what AI is," agrees Véronique Van Vlasselaer from SAS.
During the round table, the experts discuss the sense and nonsense of generative AI. The conversation brings out interesting nuances about different types of AI, although that does not mean that genAI is just a hype: "The demand for AI is driven by a business need, where we solve a problem that without generative AI would have no technological solution," says Antoine Smets from Klassif.ai.
