Generative AI is next big boom in business: five startups
What started out as a single solution known as ChatGPT by OpenAI has quickly flourished into an industry boom with organisations racing to adopt generative AI solutions into their businesses.
In Europe alone, there are now more than 130 startups working with the technology, as well as existing ones leveraging the technology for existing products. Currently in Europe, the most common uses of generative AI include text, audio, ML platforms, and Videos.
