How the legal profession can benefit from AI technology
In the couple of years since the popularization of ChatGPT, generative AI technology has quickly taken hold in the legal profession. It has backfired in some cases, such as when an attorney filed a legal brief written with ChatGPT's help and the AI platform hallucinated some of the cases in the brief. That case and others have led some law firms to block general access to AI tools. Most recently, Hill Dickinson, a law firm in the U.K., asked its staff not to use generative AI tools like ChatGPT.

Good data strategy is needed for GenAI
Without a good data strategy, generative AI becomes unusable technology for enterprises. This was true when ChatGPT started becoming popular, and it is even more accurate years later. The most recent example is the AI Chinese startup DeepSeek. While most AI cloud providers like Google, AWS and Microsoft now offer the DeepSeek-R1 reasoning model, many AI experts believe that enterprises might be hesitant to use it due to the data it was trained on. Despite DeepSeek's R1's innovation, it all comes down to the foundation, said Michelle Bonat, chief AI officer at...

Autonomous AI agents on the rise
This is the year of AI agents. The last few months of 2024 brought much talk about and expectations for AI agents that can operate autonomously and semi-autonomously. Many vendors have capitalized on the enthusiasm to introduce new agentic products: Salesforce came out with Agentforce, and Microsoft introduced Copilot agents. With 2025 here, questions about whether the momentum on agents will continue. Some see the agentic hype, and real progress, persisting this year.

Examining Microsoft venture fund M12’s AI investment approach
In the age of generative AI, Microsoft has become one of the lead investors after its massive investment in ChatGPT creator OpenAI. Since Microsoft's $13 billion investment in OpenAI, the AI market has seen changes including a tilt toward smaller and open source AI language models. Meanwhile, the tech giant's venture fund, M12, (which did not take part in the tech giant's deal with OpenAI) is still keeping its eye out for other AI startups that could be just as big as OpenAI. M12 seeks technologies that are new and transformative in the market, said partner...

Guiding generative AI toward responsible use
When Juliette Powell and Art Kleiner started working on their book, The AI Dilemma: 7 Principles for Responsible Technology, generative AI had not yet exploded into the public consciousness. But after OpenAI released its blockbuster AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in October 2022, the co-authors went back to revise their narrative to accommodate the sudden emergence of a transformative force in business and society, one that needs guidelines and regulations for responsible use perhaps more than any other new software technology.

How Do Businesses Justify Gen AI Spending in 2024?
In 2024, businesses will quickly shift from testing to implementing generative AI in customer-facing apps. Due to high costs, GenAI providers must offer clear pricing, says Mike Leone, a TechTarget Enterprise Strategy Group analyst.

Looking ahead: 2024 will see generative AI mature
With 2023 being the year for generative AI, 2024 will be the year the technology grows and develops. Many industry experts think that instead of the hype slowing, it will blossom.

AI: good and evil in the movies, and in reality
Whether AI is good and helpful or evil and dangerous is the stuff of endless debate in tech circles during this year's "generative AI moment."

But CX analyst Liz Miller of Constellation Research, who recently wrote a blog about AI and the movies and Salesforce, says AI should be seen as more like Meryl Streep's helpful assistant in the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada.
