INSIGHTS CORNER
#1 - Key Barriers To Adopting AI For Drug Discovery In Developed Countries
A 2023 survey reveals that the main obstacle to integrating AI in drug discovery in high-income countries is the availability of high-quality data. Additional challenges include finding qualified staff and a general lack of AI understanding.
#2 - Measuring ROI In Generative AI
Businesses aiming to leverage GenAI should strategically balance immediate gains with long-term transformative goals. Quick wins, such as productivity enhancements from tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot, are beneficial; however, the true competitive edge lies in integrating GenAI into unique, industry-specific use cases. Moreover, comprehensive transformative initiatives that leverage GenAI could redefine business models.
However, as Gartner suggests, a prudent approach is key due to the anticipated downturn in 90% of GenAI projects by 2025, primarily due to rising costs and complexities.
