> The big question is about trends in AI investment and usage from "old" corporations, SMBs and common people.
These are only just getting started, from the large corps down. There is a decade of work ahead for them even if the AI tech stopped maturing right now.
I dunno, I work at a big old corp (finance/fintech industry) with a solid foundation in Data & Analytics, and still things are moving slowly. Not that much high of a hype in the C-level, maybe because sellers are not selling that well due to not really knowing how to extract value from (Gen)AI. Depending on the provider or consulting partner, sometimes they
just don't know how to promote its benefits.
Confidence is slowly building up but still is very far from the hype levels I saw in the middle to late Big Data (2015-2017) era.
