“Generative AI’s impact on productivity could add trillions of dollars in value to the global economy,” advises a new study from McKinsey Global Institute, a consultancy. “We identified 63 generative AI use cases spanning 16 business functions that could deliver total value in the range of $2.6 trillion to $4.4 trillion in economic benefits annually when applied across industries. That would add 15 to 40 percent to the $11 trillion to $17.7 trillion of economic value that we now estimate nongenerative artificial intelligence and analytics could unlock.”
