What is Generative AI? 

As we have written about earlier this year, Generative AI is fast moving and incredibly powerful technology that is already transforming business processes, improving customer experience and enhancing your competitive edges. In addition to the content generation capabilities of the Large Language Models (LLM) such as ChatGPT, Copilot and Bard, AI can help you automate tasks, analyse data, generate insights, and create new value. newzealand.ai reports some of the following use cases and success stories that businesses are benefiting from at the moment: 

  • Brand and product image creation with Midjourney 
  • ChatGPT for sales and marketing pitches plus tender proposals and company planning 
  • Microsoft Copilot for customer email automation 

While there is real progress and value being derived from generative AI, we also know that lots of NZ businesses are yet to introduce AI into their organisation, and we want to help all organisations understand how they could begin to do this and what ongoing advancements are being made that makes this an even more compelling consideration. 

What are the key opportunities that all New Zealand businesses should be considering? 

Generative AI can offer many opportunities for New Zealand businesses to enhance their products, services, and processes – some we’ve touched on already. Consider: 

  • Creating engaging and personalised content for marketing, advertising, and entertainment, such as logos, slogans, videos, and podcasts 
  • Designing and prototyping new products, services, and solutions, such as fashion, construction materials, architecture, and software 
  • Improving customer experience and satisfaction with tools such chatbot generated support alongside human customer service providers; product recommendations, and feedback summaries 
  • Optimising and automating workflows and tasks by generating reports, invoices, and schedules 
  • Innovating and discovering new knowledge and insights, such as by generating hypotheses, experiments, and data analysis 

Why work with a great IT MSP to help you? 

Generative AI could be the most transformational introduction to your business in this decade, but it also comes with some challenges and risks that have to be addressed and planned for. Successful AI deployments requiring specialised skills and expertise to develop, roll out, and maintain generative AI models and applications. Ensuring the quality, reliability, and security of the generated content and the underlying data is essential, and businesses also need to comply with the ethical, legal, and social implications of using and sharing generative AI content, such as copyright, privacy, and fairness. 

That’s why working with a great IT MSP (managed service provider) can help you to leverage the benefits of generative AI while avoiding the pitfalls. A great IT MSP can provide you with:
