Generative AI (gen AI) continues to weave its way into our work and personal lives. According to a recent McKinsey survey, 65 percent of organizations are now using gen AI, and many businesses are already seeing material benefits from it, write McKinsey’s Alex Singla, Alexander Sukharevsky, and coauthors.
But can gen AI help you get unstuck in the workplace and beyond? In short, yes. It can serve as a creative assistant that can spark ideas for writing projects, art concepts, technical issues, and more. Need to draft text, code, or design something? Gen AI can provide examples to kickstart your projects. If you're stuck on understanding a concept or need information, it can explain, summarize, or point you to the right resources. In technical fields, it can even simulate scenarios, generate data, or help model complex systems. But while gen AI can help break the deadlock and provide inspiration, final decisions and personal touches often come from human insight and intuition.
Whether you're aiming for a productivity boost or tackling tough organizational challenges, check out these insights to learn how gen AI could be a game-changer.
