WE’RE FASCINATED BY THE IDEA OF TECHNOLOGY CHANGING EVERYTHING

• 2000s era Internet was going to change everything
• GenAI is predicted to change everything

MOST TECHNOLOGY’S SHIFT HAPPEN WITH CONSUMERS FIRST

• GenAI still can’t validate accuracy (e.g. hallucinations)
• GenAI is still extremely expensive to create, maintain
• GenAI still doesn’t have a widely-adopted business model
• Shadow GenAI groups will emerge in the Enterprise
• People are still mostly thinking about GenAI as a way to offload things they don’t want to do vs. improving their existing skills
