Where is generative AI begin used to save time and money today?
EDUCATION
Educators in Wisconsin (EducationWeek)
- Generated templates for writing letters of recommendation for students applying to college (a task some teachers have to do many times a year);
- Generated interview questions for positions that might not be familiar to the interviewer;
- Generated PowerPoints with a certain number of slides on a given topic, complete with a joke to keep the audience engaged;
- Generated a synopsis of a 20-minute YouTube video;
- Aligned a district writing rubric with the Wisconsin state standards;
- Developed a school district policy around the use of generative AI in the classroom.
ENERGY
- AI saves resources by analyzing old land survey maps, drilling permits, historical images, production records, and eyewitness accounts to find well sites.[2].
HEALTHCARE
- AI-supported screening found one additional case of breast cancer for every 1,000 women screened than did the standard two-radiologist process[1].
- DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratories used its artificial intelligence and computing resources to model proteins in the coronavirus to help develop the vaccine[2].
- Dr. Rick Stevens of Argonne National Lab, was recognized for his work using AI to accelerate the discovery of new cancer therapies and treatments that are highly personalized for individual patients[2].
- Scientists at McMaster and MIT, for example, used AI to identify an antibiotic that fights what the World Health Organization calls one of the world’s most dangerous drug-resistant bacteria for hospital patients[4].
- The FDA has cleared 523 devices that use AI, and a Google DeepMind model can control plasma in nuclear fusion reactions, bringing us closer to a clean-energy revolution[4].
MARKETING
- Salesforce surveyed over 1,000 marketers as part of its Generative AI Snapshot Series and found that 51% are currently using generative AI[5].
MILITARY
- Ukraine has successfully used AI-enabled drone swarms against Russian forces[2].
SCIENCE
- A team of scientists from Ames National Laboratory developed a new machine learning model for discovering critical-element-free permanent magnet materials[3].
