About This Trend

Generative AIis the most rapidly expanding AI-driven technology globally. Unlike traditional AI, Gen AI can produce unique content seemingly crafted by humans insix modalities: text, code, audio, image, video, and 3D. Though the growth of Gen AI has been rapid, a July 2023Pew Research Center surveyfound that many Americans have still yet to regularly use ChatGPT. Only a minority believe AI-enabled chatbots will significantly impact their jobs, and even fewer see them as beneficial to their work. Another growing trend in Gen AI is the emergence of image-generation platforms. Given the integration ofDALL-E 3into ChatGPT 4 and other platforms, a surge in AI-generated visual content is anticipated soon.
