Leadership in the era of generative AI 2023 | The Economist Newspaper Limited | 26 September 2023 | Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, 9850 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, USA

In the wake of advances in generative AI and large language models (LLMs), there is excitement about what the technology means for businesses. Chief executives, data leaders and AI experts are being scrutinised for their strategic next steps. From boosting productivity and reducing operational costs to finding new routes to revenue generation, generative AI could transform traditional business models.

Running alongside this excitement is deep concern, inside the tech industry and beyond, that generative AI models are being developed too quickly. On March 22nd the Future of Life Institute, an NGO, began an open letter with the statement, “AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity.” These sentiments are echoed across the tech community.
