Everyday AI and digital employee experience (DEX) are 2 years away from mainstream adoption 🦾 At least that’s what Gartner, Inc. forecast says in Hype Cycle for Digital Workplace Applications, 2024. Everyday AI implies the widespread adoption of AI capabilities into applications, products, and services, making them accessible to everyone, not just technical professionals. This technology not only delivers productivity benefits, but also provides new marketable offerings such as tools to help workers find and synthesize relevant information, answer questions more comprehensively and produce work artifacts more easily 💼 Everyday AI helps employees deliver work with speed, comprehensiveness and confidence. It supports a new way of working, where intelligent software is acting as more of a collaborator than a tool. DEX, in turn, focuses on providing employees with digital tools and technologies that improve their interaction with the employer and each other 🤝 While these two trends have not yet reached mainstream adoption, Gartner predicts that they will become widespread in the coming years. Everyday AI will have a significant impact on a variety of industries, from healthcare and manufacturing to retail and financial services. DEX will also become critical to attracting and retaining talent, and will impact employee productivity and satisfaction. If you want to stay competitive, we recommend you to start planning the adoption of everyday AI and DEX today 🚀 Early steps may include investing in employee training and development, as well as implementing the appropriate technologies and processes.

How GenAI is revolutionizing cloud infrastructure for tech companies? 📈 Cloud computing enables businesses to be more agile and responsive. Generative AI, on the other hand, brings advanced machine learning capabilities that can turn vast amounts of data into actionable insights and automate complex tasks. The intersection of these technologies unlocks new horizons for businesses, increasing efficiency and reducing costs. Let’s explore the key benefits of integrating GenAI with cloud infrastructure: 📊 Predictive scaling and resource allocation: your cloud infrastructure can automatically scale based on demand, ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency. For example, an e-commerce platform might see spikes in traffic during holidays. AI models can predict these spikes and adjust resources accordingly, ensuring smooth operation during peak times. 💰 Automated cloud spend optimization: AI can provide detailed insights into where money is being spent and identify areas where savings can be achieved. For instance, AI might suggest moving non-critical workloads to less expensive storage options or shutting down underutilized instances automatically. 🔁 Intelligent load balancing and traffic management: AI can predict traffic patterns and dynamically adjust load balancing to ensure optimal performance. This is especially important for social media platforms or online gaming services. By distributing traffic efficiently, AI helps prevent bottlenecks and ensures a seamless user experience. And remember, AI continues to evolve. So we recommend seriously considering integrating these technologies to stay competitive and drive innovation in the digital age.
