•  The usage of AI varies, with 44% of companies employing it for cloud pricing optimization and 41% of firms using it for voice assistants and chatbots.
• A poll of 821 businesses indicated a potential cost reduction of 15.7% over the next 12 to 18 months through generative AI investments.
• Chatbots save an average of 2 hours and 20 minutes daily, while generative AI in customer service response writing saves businesses about 2 hours and 11 minutes daily.
• Men are twice as likely as women to use generative AI, with significant differences in the usage of platforms like ChatGPT, which averaged 1.5 billion monthly visits in 2023.
• Regarding children’s use of AI chatbots like ChatGPT, 31% of men versus only 4% of women feel comfortable allowing their children to use these technologies for any purpose.
• The marketing and advertising industry leads in generative AI adoption, surpassing even the tech sector, with respective adoption rates of 35% and 30% in consulting, 19% in teaching, 16% in accounting, and 15% in healthcare.

Concerns about generative AI infrastructure and systems 

Amid rising interest in artificial intelligence technologies, some organizations are deeply concerned about its impact on security. Some companies have worries related to its cost and computational limits. 

• 58% of organizations have not adopted AI due to cybersecurity concerns.
• Key cost drivers in generative AI include integration and GPU expenses for model development and training. Still, 56.8% of companies expected double-digit increases in revenues from AI/ML investments and AI transformation in 2024. 
• Companies actively seek cost-effective alternatives to GPUs for AI inference to manage compute limitations, which remain a top challenge.
• In managing GPU resources, companies employ various strategies, including queue management and job scheduling, with a notable 78% utilizing over half of their GPU resources during peak times.

• 74% of survey respondents believe integrating computers and scheduling into a single platform would be beneficial. Such integration supports quicker and more efficient development and deployment of models.
• As companies plan for higher compute demands in 2024 and aim to use LLMsin production, executives are weighing their current challenges against future needs, particularly considering the scarcity of GPUs for inference tasks.
• Model serving enables access to machine learning models via application programming interfaces (APIs), which is crucial for AI-integrated applications. About one-third of companies do not have model-serving capabilities, which are increasingly necessary due to the demanding performance needs of generative AI models.
• 61% of survey participants are somewhat dissatisfied with their current scheduling tools, and 12% feel neutral, suggesting significant potential for improvement.
• The main issues with current tools include inadequate GPU optimization (53%) and user-friendliness for developers and data scientists (47%). Additionally, about 25% report issues with control and compatibility with existing AI/ML stacks.
