Gartner’s 2023 A.I. Hype Cycle

My LinkedIn profile is flooded with people creating A.I. generated images, and starting businesses around ChatGPT.

It’s very cool to see. Some of the images have left me scrolling for a while and I have even used ChatGPT to answer some technical questions or even to write a few blog posts.

These technologies stand to impact education, content creation and marketing for sure. They probably already are impacting our world more than we realize.

But the money and real usefulness of A.I. has very little to do with chat bots and cool imagery.

Data is the new oil.

Data drives intelligent applications, and automation. Messy, unorganized data makes A.I. nearly impossibly, as does having too much data or too little context.

The business opportunity in 2023 is primarily around data manipulation, computer vision and automated systems.

Great job by Gartner is illustrating this. Don’t stop playing with cool robots or autonomous Chat, but it’s a while before these are truly impacting our industries.
