Before I go on, a quick primer: generative AI or, generative artificial intelligence, is a type of machine learning that can cognitively generate synthetic data (like blog posts, reports, program code, artwork, videos, etc.) rather than simply analyzing or acting on existing data. GPT is the underlying LLM model and ChatGPT – announced by OpenAI in November 2022 – enables a conversational interaction with the user.

Avanade believes that AI is the next wave of computing. Like mainframe to client server, evolving to mobile first and then to cloud first, our clients need to be thinking, operating, and moving to AI-first. Indeed, I believe this is the year that AI will go mainstream. In the same way that Mosaic and Netscape Navigator democratized the internet, the accessibility and usability of ChatGPT brings AI into our everyday lives.
