Artificial intelligence (AI) has been seen as the next productivity frontier because of its high capability to transform almost all aspects of intra- and inter-organizational operations across industries. The emergence of generative AI (Gen-AI) within the business community has further accelerated the interest in AI.
Yet very few empirical studies have been conducted to assess the actual value of AI and Gen-AI. This talk will first present and discuss insights from a bibliometric analysis of 40,147 documents retrieved from the Web of Science database dealing with a "good AI society."
Then, the talk will present and discuss the results of our team's recent empirical studies on AI and Gen-AI across various industries and countries (e.g., France, UK, USA).
